Too slow, too weak, too many touches.
Come on Hydro. Of course he's capable of touches n flicks like that but its hardly the norm with him is it? Consistency has always been Rambo's biggest issue.

I could pick out a video of a league two player scoring an absolute worldie of a goal after nice build up play. Doesn't make him worth 200k a week though does it?
No footballer is too slow.

Not arguing that he isn't capable. It's just the Ramsey we see the majority of the time doesn't.I actually think Ramsey is capable of playing quickly most of the times.
And no you can't pick a league two player scoring a goal like that. And if you could that would be in league two. FFS.
And yes he is worth 200k per week.

That's Matty Burrows. Glentoran vs Portadown. Northern Irish league. Absolute tekkers. Earns about £300 a week.
My main issue isnt giving Ramsey £200k a week either. It's blocking a potential new signing for a player we genuinely need (winger?) coming in. It's all relative.
Mate why do you get so defensive? Settle down. You almost take it personal when someone doesn't agree with you.He is capable and he aint blocking anything. You need to take it up with Kroenke and Gazidis why we haven't sign winger yet.

The last paragraph I 100% agree with. I'd rather he stayed if it was feasible. He has an affinity with the club, he's scored some crucial goals and won us trophies because of it and he works his arse off for us.I don't think it's comparable though. We are talking about an international player who has over 50 caps for Wales, was voted in team of the tournament at Euro 16, and has nearly 250 appearances for Arsenal. Matty Burrow or whatever his name is would probably be blowing out of his backside after 15 minutes of training with an elite team like Arsenal. Yes, the end product of the flick is comparable but it's levels apart in terms of the actual player quality.
A lot of discussion has been about the "Ramsey we saw against Fulham and how good he was" and "but he doesn't play like this every week". The Ramsey we saw against Fulham or in the purple patch is exactly the same Ramsey we are seeing now. The purple patch was just that, a purple patch that could be repeated in sections of the season in the future but in that patch everything he hit and touched when in the back of the net. He's still the same player.
The issue with Ramsey is two folds. One are the injury problems partly mismanaged by our previous medical team and also a lack of direction/development of him as an individual player similar to the way Iwobi was going under the previous coaching staff. We don't know what Ramsey is as a player or what his best position is because he wasn't developed properly. He's not selfish, he doesn't just play for himself, he's just been allowed to "express himself and play with freedom" which has resulted in this situation where we know he has quality and he has the stamina/attributes to also be an absolute work-men in central midfield but he's been caught in-between because of the lack of direction. You just have to look at Ox's statements about the focus on where he stands and why, when he presses and why, the positions he has to take up and the extra demands in terms of his role and team-shape. This was clearly lacking previously.
I'd rather he stayed but at this stage I'm indifferent because the future success of Arsenal and winning trophies doesn't depend on Ramsey, Monreal, Mustafi, Welbeck, Cech etc...it depends on Auba, Laca, Torreira, Özil etc and getting higher quality signings around this group.
Not a #10 but personally I see that as a positive & makes him more viable for potential suitors.Saunders reckons hes a number 10 thoughts??
Yet there is bench boy Micky signed by this regime at #17 on 150k a week who also received a 8m signing bonus.https://www.spotrac.com/epl/rankings/weekly/
scroll through the list and see where you would put ramsey. definitely not 200k. his current salary pretty much reflects his level, maybe 10k more would be okay for both parties.
edit: welbeck's also pretty high up there. you can see why we're letting him go, even though i really like his season so far.
He's worth ~half that, but he'll probably get it from a Manchester club or Chelsea, and we should let him take it.Almost every player under Emery has improved this season except Ramsey.
'B-b-but he scored a back-heel goal against a shambolic Fulham defence in a game that was already won.' A good 10 seconds doesn't erase his total trash performances in the other games this season.
The alleged 200-250k Ramsey wanted is ludicrous. That would make him our 2nd highest paid player. Laughable to even suggest he's worth that.
He is capable and he aint blocking anything. You need to take it up with Kroenke and Gazidis why we haven't sign winger yet.
Those salaries are insane, Kolasinac on the same as Kante and double Nacho? Son on double Alli? Iwobi and AMN on the same?https://www.spotrac.com/epl/rankings/weekly/
