Well Wenger did have a willingness to renew his deal but it got delayed because Ramsey agent left his agency to start his own Agency.
I think Ramsey is his biggest client and this latest deal will be his last major one so I think he’s always had the intention to run his deal down after seeing the club cave with Ozil
Ramsey is not average guys. Seriously now. You may not think he is THAT good, but he is good.
And btw, he hasn’t done it for us only. He was tremendous for Wales in Euro 2016 too, and their crumble came when Bale had to carry the whole team on his own without Rambo to help him out.
Been wanting to see Rasmey in the advanced midfield position for a while and I’ve seen enough to realise he’s totally incapable of playing with his back to goal
The thing is, he’s probably the smartest of our players, trying interesting things with the ball, making the right decisions (running with the ball when it’s right, passing when it’s right, picking a good option)
But I think it’s pretty clear he doesn’t really have that much technical ability and it was clear today.
Wayward passes, wayward touches, it was miles off working today.
In conclusion, he’s barely worth his current salary, let alone a pay rise.
If this club gives him £225k a week, then I believe Gazidis mission here was to just help his boyhood club take control of English football.
He isn’t worth persisting with as the #10 at his current ability and doubly so since it compromises Ozil out wide too.
Inventive in the final third today but stepping back into midfield and I struggle to see what his strengths are. I just think he’s too much of a Wenger hybrid to work with and given the massive pay hike he’s expecting, I’m really not sure it’s worth the investment.
I hate to say it, but he is still one of our more talented players - he will probably go, but it is definitely tragic that we didn’t get anything for it now b/c I do believe he is one of our legacy assets that could have commanded a fee, but not now.
Just watched the extended highlights and this guy is a fucking piece of shite. His only attribute is his running ! Is that really enough at a club like Arsenal ?
The amount of times he underhit crucial passes to overlaping players was abysmal.
He cannot pass, cannot controle a football, LOW football IQ, selfish, egoistical.
Time to get rid, why are we still playing him when he hasnt even signed the contract. Other players could benefit for the playing time instead.
