Aaron Ramsey’s accomplished display in central midfield against the League leaders and the Champions League finalists prove that we have a real jewel in our crown, a type of player that could be the heartbeat of our club for the next decade.
Cardiff City fans still hail Aaron as one of their best Academy product of the past few decades.
It is good to remember that Alex Ferguson was absolutely furious that Manchester United were beaten to his signature in summer 2008. Remember back in 2008 , Manchester United had won the Premier League back-to-back again and were the current European champions.
Ramsey getting the winner against them was sweet justice for the pain he has suffered in the past year.
After conquering the team he nearly joined, Ramsey is now in line to face his aggressors this week end.
Stoke have behaved themselves appallingly since Shawcross broke the poor young Welshman's leg in several places last year.
Stoke were ever so eager to portray themselves as the "victims" of this incident. With Shawcross and Pulis taunting the Arsenal manager, the club and the fans at every opportunity, and most of the downmarket media like talkSport or the Daily Star even calling for Arsenal to apologise to poor honest Shawcross, we are bound to receive a very hostile welcome this week end.
Expect Ramsey’s every touch to be booed (because that is the level of their fans) and expect a number of meaty challenges too (because that is their honest style of play).
With that in mind, can we really risk the Welsh captain against those rugged aggressors pumped up by the Muppet with the Cap?
I don’t think Ramsey is the kind of lad who cannot hold his own. We have seen against Man U that he is more than able in central midfield.
It is not that I don’t trust Ramsey. It is just that I don't trust Pulis and Co.
Is it not an option to put Eboue in midfield in order to protect young Ramsey? Ramsey will get the next two games and plenty of action next year anyway.
His injury was so traumatising that he genuinely needs his career to kick off from now. Not brutally halted again by a bunch of Neanderthals out to get him.
I am pretty sure Eboue can provide some muscle in midfield. Just a shame that Diaby and Fabregas are both ruled out.
And anyway where the hell is Denilson?
