Man United take a look at Welsh wizard Aaron Ramsey

Is he the new Messiah Ramses III ?

*************

By Alan Nixon 13/05/2008

Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to beat Chelsea and Arsenal - by signing Welsh wizard Aaron Ramsey for £5million.

The Manchester United boss opened talks to land the 17-year-old from FA Cup finalists Cardiff City just 24 hours after clinching the Premier League title.

Ramsey's advisers are keen and the transfer is expected to be officially announced after Cardiff's Wembley date on Saturday. Midfield starlet Ramsey is viewed as the long-term replacement for Paul Scholes.

It will be a blow for Arsene Wenger, who wants the superkid to join his youthful ranks at Arsenal. And Chelsea have also been looking at Ramsey as a squad man and one for the future.

But Avram Grant has not moved as swiftly as his Champions League final opponents. United could offer Cardiff a player or two on loan next season as a sweetener.

He must be good if we are prepared to spend £5m, but midfielders aren't really a priority this summer.

Add to that it's the mirror it could well be bollocks.

Alex · 13th May 2008, 08:17

Hope he is worth it havent seen much of the kid, but as Manchunian dollar currently says "in SAF we trust"

prateik · 13th May 2008, 08:17

5m for a 17 year old when we have anderson , scholes , fletcher , hargreaves , carrick and possebon looks decent ...

wow he must be really good

hope he plays in the FA cup final , will get to see him ..

one for the future , obv .. will be probably loaned out to sunderland

bbest · 13th May 2008, 08:18

Something to look forward this weekend.

KeyserSoze · 13th May 2008, 08:21

Have not seen him play much. At least it gives me something to look out for in what should be a dire game this weekend. Portsmouth were lucky to get past us the cnuts.

sincher · 13th May 2008, 08:35

I think he could be a great signing, based on the couple of times I've watched him.

bbest · 13th May 2008, 08:42

If you can tell us more, it'll be great, as this isn't an overnight deal like the journalist has speculated.

anything about now · 13th May 2008, 08:44

Misleading title, it's another speculation. He was also linked with Arsenal and Chelsea.

I hear Cardiff City supporters have been saying the same thing too.

He doesn't seem too clever IMO...

But then again, he's a footballer.

esmufc07 · 13th May 2008, 09:14

Everyone should add his hotmail and ask him.

Cal? · 13th May 2008, 09:15

Is he related to that chef?

KeyserSoze · 13th May 2008, 09:17

He is "Hard as nais" apparently. Good to know

gaffs · 13th May 2008, 09:17

I have seen him play a couple of times. Looks a very good talent. A real class above anyone in the Cardiff team. Exceptional short and long passer. Plays center mid and can play on the right. He can tackle too.

My mate is a Cardiff City fan who raves about him. He does play like Scholes.

I would say buy him now. If he has a good one on Saturday in the cup final, then his price may rocket.

Jiggs'Hamstring · 13th May 2008, 09:18

He's definitely worth buying, he's gonna be a top player.

rotherham_red · 13th May 2008, 09:45

Only seen him once - in the FA Cup against Boro, looked a marvellous talent, very much in the Scholes mould, in the sense that he always seemed to have time and space on the ball, when other, much more experienced players didnt, and always played the right pass at the right time, this, remember, is a 17 year old kid we're talking about, he's barely out of school! frightening talent - snap him up fergie!

I've added him and if he comes online I'll be starting the negotiations on United's behalf, You can all thank me when he's a massive star!!!

Elliott · 13th May 2008, 11:40

These rumors first surfaced in January. The Cardiff director told some newspaper SAF had phoned him about Ramsey. He's a midfielder and we do not need midfielders, but he's a top, top talent and he's British. Rare combo and one SAF has a liking for.

Haha, he does seem really stupid.

kanchelskis14 · 13th May 2008, 12:13

Sounds like a top prospect. Fergie did say he'll be after 'young players' too.

Interesting... a little earlier this read "Ten things to know about Man United's new signing"... now it reads "new target".

Would like to hear something official from Cardiff... doubt you'll hear anything from United on this.

kanchelskis14 · 13th May 2008, 12:17

Nice input from a scouser in his comments:

Hinchy
good luck ramz hope u score m8
p.s go 2 liverpool it would piss sme people i know
plus ull train nd play with gerrard nd torres

Floyd · 13th May 2008, 12:18

He’s fluent in both English and Welsh, and his all-time Welsh hero is Ryan Giggs, so he’ll be in good company at Old Trafford

Does anyone know if Giggsy speaks Welsh?

Eto'odinho · 13th May 2008, 12:48

Sign him
