The Aaron Ramsey story KEEPS chugging along. I mean, I’m grateful right now because international week is seriously dull, but outside this moment, I really can’t be dealing with the ongoing saga all season.
As it stands, the club want the Welshman gone in January so they can reinvest the money into a player they want.
Not surprisingly, Aaron doesn’t want to leave. He wants to do things on his own terms.
“So, I have to just carry on playing my football and do my best for Arsenal and I’ll leave the rest with the club now.
“That’s a decision that they have made. Things happen in football and you just have to get on with it and carry on playing the best I can. That is all I am concentrating on and giving my best for Arsenal.”
The Telegraph report the club pulled the deal. Apparently, the money and his ability weren’t quite matching in Emery’s head, so they pulled the plug.
The interesting part about this is there are a few rumors that the player is still interested and the club might come back in. I mean, twitter rumors, and we all know how shite most of those are.
“Everything has been going great with the club,”
“We thought we were in a position where we had agreed a deal, but that is no longer the case.
Ramsey’s arrogant agent looks like he had a major part to play in this mess, overplaying his hand in a big way. Word has it he was ghosting the club on minor contractual details when the player was ready to sign. Not a smart move when your client is asking for Ozil money. If the club even got close to that, it was massively above market rate for a player who struggles with fitness and consistency. Why would you be ignoring those emails? Possibly too busy running retweet competitions to amp up his agency profile?
Now that deal has been yanked, it’s had the double nightmare of removing the leverage he’d have had with Europe’s elite in January. You can’t now ask Juve for £300k a week. You can’t even ask them for £250k a week. He’s a sub £100k a week player at the moment. Most he’ll get is double, and that’d have to be in the Premier League with a club like Chelsea or United. Unless he has an incredible two months leading into January, it’s going to be very hard for any team to justify that sort of money.
Not impossible, but certainly more difficult when you’ve been snubbed by a rich Europa League club in your absolute prime. Demand is a beautiful thing when negotiating a new deal.
So now he’s left with two choices. Chase trophies and pray Juve want him, or try and get Arsenal to put that deal back on the table, possibly by firing his agent.
Personally, I’d be surprised if we were just willing to let him go on a free. It makes very little sense. It’d be even worse if the rumors of a £50m bid this summer were true. However, we have to trust in the process. Sven, Emery and Raul are a different breed of football folk. I sincerely believe there’s a plan and I still think there’s a whole lot of truth in this move being part of defying a CEO who was all about his own personal PR and saving face (still can’t believe we signed Ozil to that deal just for Ivan’s ego).
The one good thing about this whole nonsense is it appears to be the last parting gift of the old regime. Moving forward, players will go on contracts with optional extensions for the clubs. This is how Spurs operate. You give players slightly inflated contracts that are long and that come with an option. If we had Ramsey on that deal, we’d just extend him another year and flog him in January with no problems. That’s why I can’t buy into this ‘this is how football is going’ nonsense like the Bosman ruling only happened last week. This whole issue is about terrible planning and a distinct lack of vision on how to shape a sqaud beyond one transfer window.
However you add up this bullshit, it’s nice to see Arsenal in the driving seat for once. The big question is how ruthless will Emery be in pushing Ramsey out of the club. Will he bench him? Play him with the kids? Make him get changed on the lawn?
Right, that’s me done, see you in the comments.
But this year’s world cup, was it the best one ever ? 2002 was a very good WC, I remember just being a boy in the 5th grade, not really knowing a lot about football but then bam the England vs brazil game got broadcast in the school hall because it was a weekend and that was just a glorious game. After that, I tried to watch as many games as I could at the matrons room.
Pierre The first problem with Ramsey’s contract is he is on 110k a week Thats on wenger The second problem is why was he not signed up 2 summers ago as he was entering his 2 final years. That’s on wenger The contract being pulled because it Ramsey isn’t worth what gazidis and wenger thought. That’s on the new guys. Good on them His new deal should be 110-120k a week. At most. It’s all he deserves. Hazard is on 200k and Ramsey isn’t even close to the player hazard is nor does he deserve anything close to what hazard… Read more »
To those who can remember it the best World Cup was 1986. It had everything.
B Silva and Mahrez are on 120k a week Rakitic and Vidal are on about 150k Jesus and Sané are under 100k Matic is on 120k Ramsey does not deserve more than these. And if he thinks he’s going to get a big day in Europe , he’s dreaming. Other than Ronaldo and pjanic(110 Euros a week) no Juventus player makes over 100k euros. Ramsey and his agent thought they could get a huge payday at arsenal because of wenger and gazidis gong show. Ramsey should feel lucky he’s on 110k a week. Think he will quickly find himself short… Read more »
Joe- is a slim chance Ramsey’s mate snake Gazidis might get him a gig at A C but that’s it on the foreign front…
Gons
I remember that dame being dull as dishwater. Sven didn’t get the English mentality and pace to the game. Neither did capello..
Best england game I ever watched for excitement was Argentina 98
That game had it all. Germany 96 a close second.
We did beat holland 4-1 and Germany 5-1 and Argentina 1-0 but for evenly matched teams it has to be Argentina 98 and Germany 96
I was a tad young in 90 but had remembered it fully that game would be among my favourites too
Arsenal might have done what’s right in their sight re Ramsey’s deal. We’re just assuming here without genuine facts on what goes on off the pitch.
I hope a genuine quality player is recruited to replace him if he finally leaves be it the January TW or the summer window.
Hoping for the best for the club.

Watch this.

Even at Ac Milan bar higuain at 145k euros the next highest paid is 80k euros a week.
Ramsey is no higuain. Not even close.
His agent has fucked him. Wenger has warped his thinking as to what he deserves to be paid.
Like I said. He should feel lucky he’s making 110k pounds a week
Joe
Higuian isn’t even that good
Joe To be honest ,I wouldn’t expect you or michae24 et al to say anything else regarding how the ramsey situation has panned out. Personally,I would say yes it should have been addressed with 2 years to go and maybe it was ,but maybe Ramsey kept stalling ,who knows . I would say that when it was announced wenger was leaving then Ramsey’s contract situation should have been top of the list and sorted in the summer or put him on the transfer list ..so to say the club had no other choice is incorrect. The sooner Ramsey leaves the… Read more »

“The contract being pulled because it Ramsey isn’t worth what gazidis and wenger thought.”
Do you seriously believe that wenger has had anything to do with the contract offered to Ramsey ….it’s been 6/7 months since it was announced that wenger was leaving and you believe that contract has been on the table since before March and it’s only now that the club has pulled out .
Surely ,if that contract was offered when wenger was still at the club ,it would have been retracted immediately…..
Joe
Higuian isn’t even that good
Yeah wilshere is better.
So was sanago and chamack

Where do you get all these figures?
VicVic
Irrespective of our differing opinions on AFC, I sincerely hope you get yourself sorted and find some inner peace.
Godbless.
The Ramsey thing makes no sense. If the club didn’t think he was worth the money he was asking, it must mean there are better players available for that £££. If that’s true, then why aren’t those players at the club?? Why would you keep hold of players and offer them new contracts when you think there are better players out there?
Joe
Where do you get all these figures?
Vic Vic The best thing to do is to talk. Bottling up feelings is the worst possible thing to do (I know this from experience). Get in touch with Pedro and ask for Un na nai’s details. And then just let it all out! This will be the first step in making you feel that much better. Never assume that no one can understand you because there is always some one out there who has had a similar experience. I am sure you can make it through this dark patch. The key is to talk and not give up. And… Read more »

England Argentina 98 was a classic yeah
CAMPBELL WAS AWESOME
His goal should’ve been allowed and he landed an unbelievable sliding challenge at the other end when it mattered
Plus the whole Beckham thing lol
And owen’s goal!
What a match for the neutral
Comments section quiet for 3 hours. Unquestionable.
I’m in moderation Pedro why?
What’s happened to le-grove?
Germany are so bad, maybe not all on Ozil after all
Fair play tomramsay he came back from a double broken leg,,,
Boy has strength,
More stronger then Eduardo n diabetes,…
Thanks Rambo n good luck
Donnarumma is on about 100k.
Man Germany struggling with Low in charge they need a change pronto
I’m in moderation? Seems about right

Merson & Bellamy really are 2 c*nts of the highest level.
Why am I in moderation Pedro ?
Where’s everyone
Clearly I am in the minority over my opinion about what should be done with Ramsey. Whilst he may not be considered to be a top player and shoe in certainty to start in the team he is nevertheless a good quality player and popular within the squad. The issue for me is not whether he should and will leave, but when. There are far too many who assume that the club will wave a magic wand in January and receive mega bucks. That is not going to happen and if he were to leave then the club will need… Read more »

Un na I don’t agree because it appears you’re singing from the hymn sheet of ‘poor england’ is all. Maybe that’s not the case, but you’re making out we were robbed and the like which always makes me think someone is reaching for something. As I pointed out, you can’t pay the generation game like you are. Yes, we’ve had terrific players, but they’ve not been a good enough team to win in their time period and that’s quite literally all that matters. Becks and co. were bested by Brazil and France despite us having talents that could get into… Read more »
Joe You’re making an apples to oranges comparison of wages at a basic level which removes necessary context. I’m not defending Ramsey but his wages vs Higuains isn’t a genuine comparison. Higuain moves for 70 million and would’ve got a slice of that fee up front for the move which negotiated his wages lower. Compare Rambo to the bosman boys on the block, the number in a sea of opportunistic cunts trying to score a fat contract. Even then some will take “cuts” to land at a more desirable club, but Rambo on a free is potentially worth 200k to… Read more »

Hey guys
@pedro, why are my comments awaiting moderation?
Is this working?
England were not the best team at WC 1990. They only made it past Cameroon in the quarters with the help of the match officials.
