Ronan Arjun Maher (RAM) - 2025

My lad played in the same youth team as Ronan. His attitude can let him down at times but his ability is unquestionable. Wish him all the best

What would Roy Keane have been without his attitude? Just another midfielder. If Vinnie Jones hadn’t had an attitude and a chip on his shoulder he wouldn’t have even been a footballer because he had zero skill.

Watched him first play when he was brought on against Crystal Palace , first impression Grealish wannabe , hair band , rolled down socks , small shin pads , but what stuck out was …this kid can actually play abit .

So glad the club have given him a deal , and hopefully he can help us get promotion and one day earn himself a money spinning deal for himself and the club .

It’s good he signed a deal. How he develops is of course another matter, but offering contracts to such players is what I would expect from the club. Never forget, It’s an investment. For now, I wish him well and may injuries forget about him.

Happy with this. 3 years gives us security in receiving a decent fee once he is ready to go. Has a lot of potential, but we need to see whether he can begin to fulfil it now.

Speaking to his Dad, he feels he’ll be gone after this season. He said there were other clubs interested, but his development is best served here, for now. Said he hopes RAM can repay the club by them receiving a healthy fee when he does eventually leave.

Only 23 days later than what i said was going to happen, but got there in the end :smiley::smiley:

Great news … especially with it being a 3 year deal this lad looks like he really can move up the leagues and get us a big windfall along the way if he knuckles down and develops the potential he has in abundance.

Don’t know why but I really like that he’s wearing a suit.

Great business for the club :+1:t2:

For me, he is a bigger talent than what Rico was when he broke into the first team.

I know that atleast one Premier League team have already sent out scouts to watch him.

His dad is more than happy for him to play here, my mate speaks to his dad alot and they think highly of the club.

Just need to give him the minutes now, Sam Perry was being talked about in similar tones two years ago.

Give him a start tomorrow off the front two and see what happens.

Can’t wait to see how he grows :smiley:

Glad we’ve got him on a long term contract let’s just hope he turns out to be a Rico and not a Mitch Candlin. As someone else said find it a bit weird that his dad carries around signed photos to hand out, just hope it doesn’t go pear shaped and a Kieron Morris’ mom situation occurs again

Thought he came over really well in his interview on this. So long as he believes in what he said rather than it just being good media training has he will go a long way and have us right behind him.

I know what people mean about the suit, sort of says
I know this is an important discussion with the club and shows the club respect.

I wish nothing but the best for the lad, not just for our benefit but because it seems like he’s earned it through hard work and doing the right thing (Saddlers and Black Country values).

It’s a positive move,there’s no doubt the kid can play football and I’m sure Flynn will keep his feet on the ground.He’s already getting game time here and the right amount of that at the right times will keep him progressing, hopefully into a player we can make a few quid on because let’s be honest that’s the long term goal for the club.
