He's injured as fuck half the time. A couple of heavy prem tackles and he'll shit the bed
Yeah the injuries are the biggest problem with him.

I knew there was catch in the £63 million fee being reported. So, that's pretty much north of £120 million before factoring in his insane wages, then. This will be interesting.
That’s going to be great to watch. Let’s see how many strange sponsors they get to match the increased wages. Or off payroll payments. Whatever they do.What harm could there be in signing a 21 year old and immediately paying him £500,000 a week, when your second best player only earns less than a third of that?
Nkunku to Man U and Haaland to City. If Mane, Salah and Bobby resign, I don't expect any new signings up front, which would mean we miss out on Nunez
Nkunku wants to join a club in the champions League apparently. Might rule utd out.Nkunku to Man U and Haaland to City. If Mane, Salah and Bobby resign, I don't expect any new signings up front, which would mean we miss out on Nunez
The only thing that may hamper his progress is his suspect attitude and frequent injuries.

Aberdeen teenager Calvin Ramsay must try to put all thoughts about Liverpool to the back of his mind.
The focus for the 18-year-old must remain on playing well for Aberdeen.
Quadruple-chasing Liverpool are the latest club to be linked to Scotland Under-21 international right-back Ramsay.
Being on the radar of one of the world’s biggest clubs is testament to Ramsay’s talent and the extent of his explosive breakthrough this season.
Ramsay was at the centre of an intense level of speculation during the January transfer window with a host of top clubs linked to him.
Being under the spotlight at such a young age can be difficult and become a heavy burden to shoulder.
Calvin Ramsay scores to make it 1-0 Aberdeen against Dundee – his first Reds goal.
Ramsay’s form dipped briefly around that time and it was probably due to all the speculation regarding his future.
However, he is back on form again and showing why he is on the radar of top clubs.
Italian Serie A club Bologna wanted to sign him in January and he was also linked with a number of English Premier League outfits.
Being linked with so many clubs may have weighed heavily on Ramsay’s thoughts during the winter window. It is a lot to deal with.
Now the speculation is ramping up again and the challenge for Ramsay is to block that out and keep impressing for the Dons.
Starring for Aberdeen is what got him in this situation, one that every young player dreams of.
Aberdeen’s challenge, if a move for Ramsay happens, is to get the right financial remuneration to invest into the youth academy to ensure more players follow.
Ramsay is a product of a youth system that has consistently proven it can develop quality players of international level.

In recent years, the club’s youth system has produced established Scotland internationals in Scott McKenna, Ryan Jack and Ryan Fraser.
They were all young boys that also had to deal with development, speculation and then moving on.
Ryan Fraser was the closest in age to Ramsay when he moved at age 18 to then-League One Bournemouth in 2013.
However, with Liverpool, we are talking about a different level of club interested in Ramsay.
I’m sure Ramsay’s parents will be giving him sound advice and his agent will be working hard for him as well.
If a move to Liverpool were to happen, Ramsay wouldn’t be transferring to a club where there is no support.

Andrew Robertson is a fine example of what can happen to a young full-back at Liverpool.
The Scotland captain has developed into a world-class player at Anfield.
The teen would be able to lean on Robertson, who I’m sure would help nurture him.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and it is a mouthwatering prospect for Ramsay.
If it happens we can only wish him all the best and hope it works out for him.

Even if a transfer to the six-time Champions of Europe happens there would still be a long road for Ramsay.
He would have to measure himself against some of the best players in the world – which is a huge challenge.
However, having the chance to embrace that challenge is what every young player dreams of.
Ramsay’s emergence is testament to the youth development programme at Aberdeen that continues to produce talented players.
History tells us normally two or three come through the academy at a specific time.
It is unusual to see just one emerge as the young players tend to feed off each other.
Another teenager, Connor Barron, has been very impressive since breaking into the first team in recent months.
Aberdeen’s youth development took a huge step forward in terms of facilities with the opening of Cormack Park.
Aberdeen’s Calvin Ramsay (left) holds off Dundee’s Paul McMullan in October.
That investment in the training facility is paying off.
It is important to invest in youth and the hope is that you develop players to participate in the first team.
Then, eventually, if good enough, a player that can move on for a large transfer fee.
That example doesn't work for me.
I'd rather a player go at another player - regardless of his reputation - than do what Sterling did last weekend and "oh it's your virgil? Sorry! I'll just turn around and let someone else try - do you need some tea before I leave?"
You want players with that attitude - Suarez would go at Virgil, as would Salah, Mane or any of our players - that's what greats do, no fear, and respect comes before and after the final whistle (in today's era at least).
still would love havertz
perfect for the firmino role
“Ryan Fraser was the closest in age to Ramsay when he moved at age 18 to then-League One Bournemouth in 2013….”
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE WAITING FOR!!!!
We need to get on this before he ends up making a list of players we should sign in a heart beat!!!!
I would love to see Havertz in there
Chelsea signed him for €85m on £8m/year.
It isn't going to happen. Fifa xx isn't real
He is going to end up at Bayern, anyway.Adeyami off the table then.. Nunez it is.
Bellingham has been told he won't be sold this summer. When Dortmund say that, they generally mean it.
Nice article today (Sky or BBC I forget) on Bayern which goes on to say (looking at who they are purportedly buying this Summer) that they are no longer capable of competing for the top players such as Bellingham (against the PL / La Liga and PSG) and that could see the deterioration of the BL as a top league and BM at the top of both the BL and competing for the CL. Basically blaming the 50+1% as this restricts the inflow of sugar daddies.He is going to end up at Bayern, anyway.
Bellingham will go to a premier league club. Not sure it'll be us, but I think he'll want home comforts on his next move.He is going to end up at Bayern, anyway.
I meant Adeyemi, sorry. Bellingham will likely end up in England, I agree.Bellingham will go to a premier league club. Not sure it'll be us, but I think he'll want home comforts on his next move.
