Best player I've seen in a Charlton shirt for a decade.
Charlton's Cafu.
Part of the reason I want us to progress up the leagues is so that we can keep hold of players like him and build the team for a few years rather than losing them after 18 months or less.
It's one thing losing your Gomez' and JJ Shelvey's to Liverpool but another for great players like Ramsay going to Hulls, Middlesborough's and Derbys etc because they're higher up the pyramid.
Believe the story is Andy Scott went to the Sutton v Harrogate game at the end of January following conversations with Jones; Ramsay had already been scouted as a potential addition in future anyway.
He played really well and assisted the winner, we agreed a deal and he was signed the following day or two later.
Still stand by my comment before that he’s the best right back in the league. Outstanding player with a high floor and high ceiling.
Wouldn’t swap him for any other RB in the league. Championship player
Comments like that do make me laugh. I mean, I think he's great, but have you seen every other right back in the league already this season?
To be honest, I've always seen the 'wouldn't swap him' comments not necessarily as meaning he's the absolute best in the league but more he's great for us and we love him. I wouldn't have traded Chris Powell for anyone in the Premier League but I appreciate that he wasn't necessarily as good as Ashley Cole
Junior Quitirna was with us for a couple of years after we signed him for our u21s from Hornchurch.
Yeah him and Odoh (now @ Peterborough) are doing well after their release by us @ U21 level
Can’t get everything right. Some players will thrive in a different environment too. Think they’re still players to be proud of
I wouldn’t even call them mistakes, we picked them out of non-league, helped them develop and they’ve got back to this level after playing in Ireland/L2.
Neither were necessarily good enough for us in L1 at the time we released them, at that age they needed regular football and might not have progressed had they stayed with us as back up. We can’t keep players well into their 20s in case they become good enough.
Well we are crying out for someone in midfield who can carry the ball up the pitch and drag the team forward. He is also able to pick a pass...
But that would another square peg situation and would leave us with Watson at RWB/RB... Would rather keep it as it is...
If we played a system with wingers, then Ramsay could be perfect for a modern inverted full back role, moving into midfield when we have the ball, rather than getting to the byline and getting crosses in which is probably his biggest weakness at the moment

He, like Edwards, is a better full back than wingback. 442 would suit them both best going forward.

Maybe one thing.
