Aaron Ramsey: BianconAaron

[MutableEarth]

400K A WEEEEK?

 

[OnlyOne]

I still rate him as a top player, I’m disappointed to see him go simply because it seems Gazidis went and offered Özil a huge contract to make himself look good but left no money for Ramsey to renew.

Also decent players don’t get paid 400k a week by one of the biggest teams in the world.

In retrospect it should be Özil going and Ramsey staying because of how Emery is setting up and the neglect of Özil, however no one saw this coming really.

I just think while Ramsey has been decent this season had he signed a new contract a lot of people would be on his back for not performing amazing every game, plus I just don't think he fits that number 10 role that Unai wants and we'd be stuck with him.

I think withdrawing the contract was the correct decision, but we look like idiots not it's Ramsey starting over Özil.

 

[razörist]

I love it. He must be over the moon we pulled the offer. Surely even he wouldn’t have thought he’d get this much? Happy for him.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Rambo gonna be slipping Ronny wads of bills so he can take freekicks.

 

[razörist]

Can’t ****ing wait to see Ramsey muscle off CR7 for a tap-in. Didn’t start watching Juve for Ronaldo but will do so for our boy Ramsey.

Won't surprise me if juve forum is in a similar situation a year or two down the line to us on here over Özil.

From Ornstein’s article

Arsenal did present Ramsey with the offer of a new deal in September but it was turned down and the club were not prepared to meet his salary demands

A bit different to the “withdrew the offer” version of events?

Club probably didn't like the reaction to the earlier version.

I mean I don’t personally care if fans are digging him out. If Emery valued him that’d be all that mattered.

Fans are idiots as evidenced by the AMN and Iwobi abuse.

As for the number ten role I’m not sure Emery wants one long term, he hasn’t bothered playing Özil there when he is a number 10 through and through.

Good for him. Top professional, always given his 100% on the pitch, never moaned. Had basically no right to come back as well as he did from a horror injury. Won us trophies and scored some fantastic goals. Best of luck to him.

I think Emery did in all fairness, he started every PL game as a #10 until the contract was rejected/rescinded. After that he was just a squad player.

This situation really should have been resolved last summer, either he signed a new deal at the start of pre-season or he was to be sold. John Cross said the club rejected a £50m bid from United for him, just horrible management of the situation all round.

 

[pigge]

spot on as usual

 

[Manberg]

This is on Gazidis.

Its not clear at all what Emery wants tbh. We hear he wants Ramsey as a central player moving forward. Then we hear he doesn't want him because he's an 8 and Emery doesn't use an 8 and that's why he's played him as a 10. But then like you say we have a player much more suited to the 10 role who doesn't get used there, and we see rumours of us looking to sign a box to box player like Rabiot.

£400k a week . I knew Juve were well ahead of the curve in Italy generating money but that's crazy.

Last figures I saw had Juve's wage bill at 219m per year followed by Milan in second with 140m. Some gap.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Make more sense now

 

[squallman]

I for one fully back the club on this. 400k a week is insanity. I'm lost for words.

He wouldn't have gotten 400k a week here. He and his agent wouldn't even have asked for that amount. I'm willing to bet that 400k is before tax aswell.

His wage is only so high because he is a free agent. The boss said he thinks the game is going to see a lot more free transfers in the coming years and he might be right.

Ornstein was using post-Brexit conversion rates. Always one step ahead of the game.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

250K is more "reasonable." But isn't that more or less the number that was reported was what we offered him?

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m saying. Give a f*ck about some fans on his back, the manager’s the only one he should be trying to impress.

Emery clearly prefers him to Özil. Ivan’s f*cked us royally. Hope his hair grows back then falls out all over again.
