Aaron Ramsey - statistics and form etc.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Its sickening we give this friggin' bellend of a player a new contract!

[A dallying Gus Caesar]

Sorry to go against the grain but I am not giving up on Ramsey. Sure give up on Gervinho and the like, but not Ramsey.

When he first started at our club he was superb. He looked the business. He then had a horrendous injury and has not been the same since. I believe he can get back there and we should be a little less harsh on Ramsey. He has been effective in an Arsenal shirt, though a little less of late (would help if he was played in his correct position of course, but then Arshavin could relate to that), whereas some have never cut it for us. He generally deserves some faith in him from us. This guy is one who should not face the wrath of the boo boys.

I appreciate that he has not been pulling up trees for a while now, therefore probably not the best time to award him a new contract, but there are many others of whom I would have generally despaired had they got one instead.

If he's staying at Arsenal, Ramsey needs a substantial loan spell somewhere to hone his skills and see if he can make the grade.

I really wanted him to do well, more so after his leg break, the fact is we are not good enough to carry him and he should be offloaded, he is holding other players back imo such as Eisfield and Ox who I would rather take a gamble on as we know the result of playing Ramsey, if you look at JW10 he was out for pretty much the same amount of time, took him 3 games to be back looking like a premiership player, we just can't afford to play Ramsey anymore in imo.

A bit like Eduardo, I think Ramsey's pre-injury form is overplayed at times as it makes for a better narrative.

Personally, I don't want him anywhere near the first team at the moment, as he's fluctuated between average and dreadful since he returned from injury. A loan would be perfect, but I can't see Wenger doing that - he'll just keep playing him on the right instead

[northbank123]

We've loaned him out twice already since his injury and he's got back to full fitness a long time ago.

Long enough has elapsed since the injury to make it fairly clear that this isn't some temporary loss of form stemming from that.

He's never going to make it at this level.

Yes, well that's your opinion, but the man who has worked 30 years in football disagrees. Verdict: new 5 year bumper contract for Ramsey!

[northbank123]

I also wonder what sort of wages Jenko and Gibbs have been given? I like Jenko (he works hard and he's a Gooner) but, although he will probably be thrust into the starting XI next year, I imagine he's been given a far more lucrative contract than elsewhere. Likewise with Gibbs, if his injuries problems persist/worsen he'll undoubtedly be just another player soaking up huge wages to play 15 games a season.

[rick1989]

They way I see it, Ramsey is currently playing at the best of his ability. The problem is that is not good enough for arsenal ! Compared to Wiltshire who will only get better.

[the playing mantis]

aw is singlehandedly trying to ruin this club just to spite us fans, there is no other way to explain extending ramseys contract and the inevitable payrise that entails. christ sake, think we would have learned the lesson by now, bendtner, denilson, vela.

[northbank123]

You must be desperate to get banned again...

[Peeman]

Bumping this for Yankee

[Wengerball]

The lad is not good enough even a PL level- he used to be a good player with great potential but the injury has seen to it that he will not amount to a good PL player.

Those are the undeniable facts no matter how its dressed up

[Barriecuda]

Thought he did well in the first half myself. Didn't see the second half (listened on radio)

[STLgooner89]

We have Cazorla, one of the best playmakers in the game who is around double figures for goals and we decide to put him out wide for our biggest game of the season. Who takes his spot in the middle? Ramsey, a guy who couldn't even show up against Bradford. Oh but wait, he started against a shit west ham in our 5-1 win and in our defensive effort against sunderland. Nevermind his shit form 90% of the time, let him start againt one of europe's top 3 teams!
