It is known why Aston Villa ended up being comfortable and willing to move on from Jacob Ramsey. When assessing the financial implications and the apparent disagreement that must have taken place during the contract situation, it made sense for Villa to look to find a potential buyer for the midfielder as quickly as possible.
Granted, part of what could have also led to Ramsey going to Newcastle United is the aspect of the player simply feeling the need to embrace and face a new challenge.
Regardless of the exact reason or reasons as to why Ramsey is no longer at Villa, it is still emotional to see him take to social media and write out a farewell message from the heart.
To watch the local academy product, who grew up as a supporter of the club while fighting for his place in the first team, now providing such a statement is highly emotional. The appreciation from Ramsey ought to soften the blow for those who are disappointed that the midfielder will not be able to remain in the claret and blue any longer.
For all of the discussions about finances or the summer transfer window speculations, actually seeing Ramsey in a Magpie jersey feels off. It is doubtful that Villa fans will ever get quite used to the sight of him being in the Newcastle colors.
Career after leaving Aston Villa
Hopefully for him, he is able to be a regular member of the starting XI and gets the chance that he is seeking to receive the call-up for England.
Unless he is playing against Villa, it will be easy to continue to root for Ramsey's continued success on the pitch. Things did not work out for him to remain at Villa, but all in all, the way he left ultimately helps the club, and there should not be anything in terms of resentment or bitterness toward the midfielder.
