He's here to play as often as possible, and when he does play he needs to be the difference on occasion, because he's miles better than the rest, and for his own pride he should want to be that player. I understand that he wont play a full season or last a full game, no problem with that. But this fawning over him is bollocks. I get that he's a Welsh legend, and that he came through our ranks, but shouldn't we all expect a bit more and grow up a little....

You should return that brain cell to the person that ripped you off when you bought it.

You have to admit that 90 mins on the pitch in well over 6 months hasn't been great value for money.

Personally, I know a few people at city ( networking is something I do well, who knows I might get the chance to pull on a city tracksuit as a coach some time :thumbup: I do know more at Bristol city and FGR, which is a shame ) , sure they all but one is involved in the youth set-up, they all say he brings alot more than game time, ive heard / read interviews with players who all say the same about him, he is a massive plus to have around, he pushes players, he sets a standard that motivates others to try and be better ( I know the answer will be " yea but they are going to say that " ) someone mentioned its like having Bellers back at the club, his standards were higher than most at the time
he pops in to see the academy players training, pops along to watch games, imho that does matter, it does inspire

Do you know how much money he’s on?
If not how do you know if it’s value for money?
Ramsey is a quality player and unfortunately hasn’t played as much as he wants to, not his fault, he’s been injured
Hopefully he’ll play more games next season

Keiffer would have been far more useful off the bench, although if Brooks wasn't well then maybe I understand him starting, though if that was Page's thinking, why the feck he brought Brooks on at all is just crazy!
Taking Brennan off was ridiculous as his touch was sublime, the polar opposite of Wilson.
A couple of minutes for Ramsey in extra time and a dead cert scorer of a pelanty.
If anyone thought that Page was the man to take us forward surely even they must now concede that he has to go.

I have no idea how much money he is on and didn't suggest otherwise. However, he has quite a record of being injured - and I anticipated at the beginning of the season that he would rarely play. It's fair comment to wonder (and I did at the outset of the season) if a far lesser player who can play far more frequently would have been better value.

:thumbup: I just want to seem him play more regularly, same as everyone else. I'm not blaming him for being injured.

He scored a penalty , he didn't single handedly win the game
He's a very good player but we need him playing not getting physio
We are the 7th highest wage payers in the Championship
It's been said he's on 60 k a week
I would imagine it's more than that
And he's not playing

Whatever anyone says, we’re lucky to have a player of his quality and stature at the City
If he plays 10, 15 or 20 games next season , we should be grateful that he’s here
When he was playing and in and around the squad helping training etc at the start of the season we were playing much better, scoring goals and creating more chances, he is very influential.

Re: So what's the score with Rambo?
I think it's safe to say that we all would like to see him playing again and a performance like the ones he produced early season will put that right.
From his comments re he and Wales, I'd like to think Erol has plans for him today.
Re: So what's the score with Rambo?
I felt alone when he signed in the summer and everyone was buzzing but I just couldn't see it working out. It's been better than I thought it would be though.
