We will never know unless it is confirmed. Same as all the others.

We will just have to wait. Nothing is going to happen before next week. Just my gut. Don’t know anything more than any one else.
 
We have had more threads and posts on the January Window than anything ever it would seem, and we are all just going round in circles speculating on something we no nothing about.
 
Why can’t we just wait until a player is confirmed as signed. Then some of you can have a jolly good old moan about why we should never have signed him because he is rubbish.

Are you asking or stating Vicar?Geniune question.

Regarding Premiership loans to Rovers over the last say 5 to 6  years

  i would say more loanees have come from Aston Villans than any other team ??

   Mason being one -- there was a useless one  (a midfielder  henry ??) now in non league and others ?  Enda Stevens Jed Steer etc

meaning there seems to be a relationship between them and Rovers

but Callum O’Hare was wanted but didn't come

[Shornton]

Premier League not Premiership!

[roversdude]

Don’t forget the flying winger

[IDM]

I think I already have forgotten him.!

[roversdude]

Wish I could

[the vicar]

Actually DM and Dean Smith are big pals so it might not be out of the question, and Smith has said he wants him to go and play more league football

Congratulations on a great username.

Doncaster Rovers want to take Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey on loan for the rest of the season, The Athletic understands. The 18-year-old attack-minded central midfielder may be allowed to join the League One club before the end of the month in order to secure regular senior football.

Boss Dean Smith has high hopes for the talented teenager, who has already made his first-team bow and regularly trains with the seniors following his goalscoring exploits and classy performances for Villa’s under-23s.

But after Villa went out of the FA Cup earlier this month, Ramsey’s chances of featuring again in the first team during the Premier League run-in are slim. Doncaster, who are managed by Smith’s friend Darren Moore, are ready to offer playing time as they continue their push for the play-offs.

Finding the right loan club is half the battle these days as a wasted loan spell is worse than not going out at all. Villa have kept some of their older players at the club for too long in recent years, which has set them back. Easah Suliman, who left for Vitoria SC this week, and Callum O’Hare, currently on loan at Coventry City, are prime examples.

Ramsey has been a key member of Villa’s under-23 side this year and isn’t the only member of his family at the club. Jacob has two brothers: Aaron, 16, who has made a big impression and recently captained England under-17s, and Cole, 12, who is developing nicely further down the age groups at Bodymoor Heath.

Three Ramseys in one Villa team of the future is quite a thought and they’re already a third of the way there with Jacob turning professional this year. What makes their journey even more interesting is that they’re from a family who had no previous interest in the game.

Father, Mark ‘Razor’ Ramsey was a former boxer who became an ABA Champion in 1989. He lost twice to a young Ricky Hatton during the Hitman’s early professional days in 1998 and 1999. The brothers’ older sister, aged 20, is also a talented dancer.

The Razor retired when Jacob was two and the family’s interest in football began when eldest son Jacob started playing for local Birmingham team Beacon Colts aged five following an introductory after-school session. His father would go on to help him with boxing drills to keep fit when he got older.

Both Villa and West Bromwich Albion spotted Jacob’s talent and wanted him to sign. Aged nine, he decided to stay at Villa and went on to make his first-team debut against West Brom in the Championship last season.

Aaron, who plays in a slightly deeper midfield role for the under-18s, followed suit after years of watching Jacob. He started out at local team FC Premier and was also spotted by Villa at the age of seven.

Now 16, there are high hopes that Aaron can also go up a level after his two-year scholarship and start competing for a place in the senior set-up.

“They’re two talented players who we believe have a lot of potential,” head coach Smith told The Athletic earlier this year. “They are developing very well. I keep moving JJ up in training as often as I can to give him that experience. He’s had a bit of a growth spurt as well so we have to be mindful of that, too.”

Jacob signed a professional deal earlier this year and is contracted at the club until the end of 2021. He used to be the smallest player in the team but has recently shot up and, while still slight, his physique is developing with regular strength and conditioning work. Villa have closely monitored his progress for some time with the club’s sports scientists also watching over his development.

Like many other teenage players at Villa, the brothers live with separate host families. During the summer both hired a personal trainer.

Jacob likes to watch his own clips back from under-23 games and identify strengths and weaknesses. He will also study the movements of elite Premier League players with Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford known to be one of his idols. Villa have closely monitored his progress for some time with the club’s sports scientists also watching over his development.

Aaron, the middle of the three brothers, is said to have more of a fiery character than his older sibling, who is calm and measured in his approach. “Aaron certainly wears his heart on his sleeve,” said one source.

Bosses in the England youth set-up have also recognised his talent and recently handed him the captain’s armband during a comfortable 2-0 win for the under-17s over Czech Republic in November.

He played alongside the likes of Louie Barry, who is joining Villa from Barcelona, Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich and Manchester City’s Alex Robertson.

Kevin Betsy, the England under-17 coach told The Athletic: “Aaron deserved the armband because of his performances for his club and his character around the place. We try to develop leaders across our pathway… but you can’t just talk about it and say ‘be a leader’. We have to give them the opportunity to do it and feel it on the grass. Aaron was given that opportunity.”

Cole, meanwhile, is still too young to be judged but is “football mad” and enjoys watching his brothers as much as playing himself. Villa coaching staff believe the trio are all heading in the right direction and they could eventually become the latest set of siblings to turn out for Villa.

Luke and Stefan Moore both played for the first-team after outshining Everton’s Wayne Rooney in the final of the FA Youth Cup back in 2002. Craig and Gary Gardner never played together but both featured at different stages before moving to Birmingham City.
