I noticed John Cross also reported the same story. Could be Ramsey’s agent leaking stuff to the papers. Wouldn’t be the first time.
Strange that they are saying he was dropped. Maybe he was. I just assumed it was because of his calf injury and he was being protected.
If he was dropped then it begs the question why wasn't he moved on prior to the window closing?
This is exactly what I wanted from Emery. One of my biggest criticisms of Wenger in the last year's of his tenure was no matter how sh*te an established player played, you could bet your ass that his name would be on the team sheet the following week.at team mates being shocked at the manager dropping a player whose performance he found unsatisfactory. The poor little flowers.

Perhaps he doesn't. My gut is still telling me he was rested and any story coming out now is an attempt to weaken his hand whilst keeping the club plausible deniability for the story itself. Equal conjecture between what you've said and what I've said.Because he doesn’t want to move at the minute? He has more choice as a free agent and that’s probably in his thinking. You can’t sell him if he refuses to leave.
Salah has just signed a 200k/week deal mate last month.
Ramsey shouldn't get anywhere near that.
Um.. A massive part of why we didn't get champions league was because of our rubbish midfield.If Salah is happy with 200k that's his decision, he could get more than that if he wanted to. If we had continued top 4 and CL maybe Ramsey would have signed a year ago, you cant always blame the player for not signing!

A) We've got a new manager with a new systemAgreed, and our rubbish defence and our rubbish attack. Oh you can add rubbish game plan, rubbish team selections, rubbish coaching!
I didnt think any of Ramsey, Xhaka & Özil performed any worse than expected based on previous performances in such games. If that was not up to standard we should have signed additional players down the spine.The reality is that these players need to either perform or GTFO of our club......... "expect to lose" is complete nonsense. With the right performance we could have very easily gotten at least a draw against Chelsea. How can we possibly finish top 4 this season when we are expected to lose against the team that finish 5th place last season?
Both Ramsey and Özil have performed in big games for us before. To deny this is absolutely ludicrous. It is not unrealistic to expect this of them again. We know they;re capable that is why they're so frustrating.I didnt think any of Ramsey, Xhaka & Özil performed any worse than expected based on previous performances in such games.

2-0 to this City team & 3-2 away at Chelsea after last seasons performances away from home are not bad results. Thats my point with all of this.Both Ramsey and Özil have performed in big games for us before. To deny this is absolutely ludicrous. It is not unrealistic to expect this of them again.

If that is the case then please leave, because we are not certa8n of champions league next season. And if that's your reason for not signing. At least do yourself and arsenal a favour and do one.If Salah is happy with 200k that's his decision, he could get more than that if he wanted to.

Gotta wonder why players like Hazard et al don't want to come here. We pay you to sit on your a$$ half the season.Most reports during the previous year were saying Ramsey was looking for a "superstar PL contract".
The thing is he's nowhere near this level.
He isn't even a top 5 midfielder in the league.
He's an injury prone player.
Our wage bill is by far the worst among the top 6.
We have players like Kolasinac on £120k/week who don't even get games for us. This is insane.
Even the best fullbacks/defenders in the league don't get this kind of money. Azpi gets 120k
Even if we got him on free.
Who on Earth would want to take kolasinac from us if we decide to sell him? Who wants to pay more than 100k/week for a fullback that has been mostly injured and has been so average?
Why do you think we have such a hard time getting rid of our players? Because they are massively overpaid.
Anything more than 150k/week for Ramsey would be terrible business from us. Salah is on 200k/week. Hazard too. Kanté is still on 120k/week (he might get 290k soon though).
Ramsey is not a +200k/week player.
Let him go. He is nowhere near that kind of money. And we won't be able to sell him if he gets it.
We can easily find a better CM that is more suited to our team needs.
