On £300k p/w preferably.Injury prone and questionable ability? Let's give him a contract that means we can never offload him

That doesn't make sense though. He is playing regularly and has been offered a new contract. He isn't turning it down to go play for a weaker team.I think his next move will be down like it was for Wilshire, none of the big teams need him, he's not good enough as a CM or a #10 to be worth bringing in.
He wouldn't be the first player to play hardball or have a big ego and then find out that not as many clubs were interested as he thougth, look at Aubameyang, that's part of the reason he's stuck at Arsenal despite a brilliant scoring record for Dortmund, Ramsey is an ordinary player, nothing more or less and doesn't have a great inury record either.That doesn't make sense though.

Wilshere left because he was told he would be benched. Ramsey clearly isn't being benched.
Then he will sign with Arsenal or lower his demands to find another big club. He isn't stepping down to a mid-table club when he already has Arsenal offering big wages and loads of playing time. There is zero logic to that.He wouldn't be the first player to play hardball or have a big ego and then find out that not as many clubs were interested as he thougth, look at Aubameyang, that's part of the reason he's stuck at Arsenal despite a brilliant scoring record for Dortmund, Ramsey is an ordinary player, nothing more or less and doesn't have a great inury record either.
Deary meCan be our Pogba replacement.
This is my thinking too, I'd take a chance on him.I'd take him. He's been playing out of position for most of his career but as a no. 8 midfielder he's top-class.
Isn't his defensive awareness in CM atrociously bad?I'd take him. He's been playing out of position for most of his career but as a no. 8 midfielder he's top-class.
We can replace de Gea with Cech while we're at itCan be our Pogba replacement.
It's not great. But in a midfield three with Pogba and Matic I'd always take Ramsey over Fred, Herrera or Lingard.Isn't his defensive awareness in CM atrociously bad?
Then that's probably what will happen, he'll realize that the grass isn't greener and he'll end up signing a new deal with them, either that or Spurs will collect him to add to their British quota as Dele cover.Then he will sign with Arsenal or lower his demands to find another big club.

Ramsey's scoring output is better than ordinary anyway.
no. Maybe someone else.Can be our Pogba replacement.
He got a goal or assist every 107 minutes last season, that isn't ordinary as much as you keep saying he's average. In fact his scoring was miles better than Pogba's.Then that's probably what will happen, he'll realize that the grass isn't greener and he'll end up signing a new deal with them, either that or Spurs will collect him to add to their English quota as Dele cover.
His scoring output is nothing special and his play as a CM or #10 isn't anything to write home about either, he's an ok player, we have plenty of ok players on huge wages and at least 3 holes that need fixing in this side, more if we sell Pogba, the last thing we need to do is add an average CM/#10 that we don't need on enormous wages.
They play more attacking than us but that doesn't mean he's anything special, and assists in particular are a very dodgy stat as a misplaced shinner can count as one, and it's another example of why stats are not a great basis for argument as Ramsey is clearly nowhere near as good of a player as Pogba.He got a goal or assist every 107 minutes last season, that isn't ordinary as much as you keep saying he's average. In fact his scoring was miles better than Pogba's.
I never said we should sign him. Your claim that he'll move to a weaker club like Wilshere was ridiculous and I called it out.
