Cloughite whispers: Ramsey eyes a Newcastle future as the old magic stirs
The whispers say a midfielder could be in the squad to face Villa on Saturday.
Talks over Wissa continue, so Gordon may be used as No 9.
Newcastle are close to signing Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa for £40m.
The versatile 24 year old could fit a Newcastle plan like a glove.
Personal terms should not be a problem.
If the deal goes ahead, Ramsey could be in Newcastle’s squad for the Saturday opener at Villa Park.
In Cloughs world, such a signing would be hailed by the terraces.
Discipline, magic, and myth guide the eye more than numbers.
This is not about data but about players who play as if the crowd is watching and Clough is judging.
If such talent slips away, it would prove the ache of a club that once led the football world.
Derby County will whisper about the old days while Forest remembers what they once were, what they still could be, and what the crowd still believes in.
So we watch and believe, because belief is what Forest gave the world and still keeps them warm when the night grows long.
TLDR
-
Jacob Ramsey looks set to move to Newcastle for around £40m, reshaping their middle of the park.
-
Personal terms appear straightforward, and the deal could be wrapped before the weekend kicks off.
-
Forest fans will mourn a possible rivaling talent but cling to the old magic that memory cannot erase.
