This is a deal, Aston Villa and Uni Emery would not have preferred to do in an ideal world.
However, this is not the world, but a one in which the teams should follow the profit and stability rules, and the finance in the villa park is tight.
A young product such as ramsay will always have the property of selling to generate pure benefits and will help the villa to follow the rules.
This was the same last year when he had to sell Douglas Luiz despite qualifying for the Champions League.
This will be chilli to call the villa purely a sales club, but they are not immune for financial pressures, as clarified in the last 18 months, and failure to reach the Champions League in this season will naturally affect the failure.
Emery was a fan of Ramsese – he preferred to keep it – but the manager is living in reality. He knows that the landscape villa must navigate, even if it may look rocky.
Striker Avon Gusand has joined the Nees and is likely to arrive more, perhaps the return of Marco Assanso after his successful loan in the previous season, but the villa should continue to exclude big spenders.
