I can't believe we haven't bid for this kid. Something is very strange. He ticks all the right boxes
Your sig doesn't think so :wink:

Not at £5 million up front, he doesn't. The general feeling is that he'll be loaned back to Cardiff for the entire season as part of the deal. So, Ramsey is definitely a player for 2009 onwards and SC wouldn't be happy at another Kaboul/Boateng/player for the future signing.
For any player costing £5 million or more, I suspect Juande and the board are insisting that he must be ready to play in August.
NB remember we poached Gunter for £2 million from Everton because Cardiff were insisting on money upfront rather than never-never clauses, so the reports that they're insisting on £5 million upfront for Ramsey have a ring of truth.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us match the valuation. Not sure if he'd choose us though.
Surely if it's £5 million for the 17-years-old Ramsey who's never played in the EPL, or c£6 million for the just turned 19-years-old Dos Santos, who's appeared in nearly every match for Barcelona this season, the decision is a no-brainer.
Bostock will not be £5 million up front. It may not even be a million up front. £5 million will probably only apply if he becomes the reincarnation of Glenn Hoddle. :grin:
So, assuming we don't have unlimited money and also need to buy a top class CM, a top class GK, etc, I can understand why we may not be getting involved in the Ramsey auction...

In FM, i bought Bostock, Scannel, Moses and Ramsey, and stuck them all in my U18 side along with Rose, Parrett etc.
Lets just say i started winning every game 8-0 after that
I saw him play against Portsmouth.
He wasn't that good.
He didn't seem to have great pace.
His technique seemed good, but not excellent.
Maybe he was having a bad game.
i wish people would stop going on about the 6 + 5 rule, it will neverhappen, its as illegal as my going into my neighbours house, forcibly feeling up his wife and then taking a spoon and battering him to death with it. and as likely as well.
