The Aaron Ramsey gif thread

Klaus

Can't discount Lampard who scored 15 league goals last season. He scored 22 a few years back, but 9 of those were penalties. Not sure what his record is from open play and set pieces in a single season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Ramsey match it this year.

Volante

Apparently neither Lampard nor Gerrard have ever scored more than 12 in a season open play. Even Vidal scores tons from penalties, only two or three from open play this season.

Ramsey's record is amazing considering he doesn't take many shots, unbelievable conversion rate. Gerrard/Lampard used to rack up the shots.

So many Ramsey videos these days:

Klaus

Cesc scored 15 for us in the league in his best season. Seem to remember a penalty or two among them though, and just like Gerrard he was a lot more attackminded than Ramsey.

Volante

Fabregas scored three Premier League penalties in 2009/10. Four or five of his other goals also came in some blowouts when the three points were already safe.

Patters

People have mentioned it before but Bryan Robson is the benchmark and role Ramsey has to follow. Fabregas, Lampard and Gerrard are fantastic players but ever since they started getting a lot of goals it has also been very generous to call them central midfielders.

Volante

Wenger has compared Ramsey to Roy Keane on a couple of occasions.

They are.

Worth 81m then.

Wenger on Ramsey in French:

Arsene says:

He was impressive, possessing an incredible power and incredible activity and on top of that now he has become a big time scorer, he has scored 13 times from the beginning of the season and for a defensive midfielder to do that is enormous."

I don't rate Gerrard and Lampard as CM, give me Arteta or Carrick any day of the week.

Volante

Behave, a peak Gerrard/Lampard is miles better than Arteta or Carrick.

Playing in an AM/2nd striker role, yes. I'd take Carrick or Arteta ahead both of them in CM.

Some interesting stuff about Ramsey/Wilshere. Robson chats a lot of shit, so obviously take it with a pinch of salt:

y va marquer

I managed to listen to forty five seconds of that before realising I couldn't take another second.
What did that twonk Robson say anyway?

Volante

Stewart Robson's comments on Ramsey are absolute nonsense. Pure guesswork and an absolute disgrace to the profession of journalism/punditry. Robson thinks Ramsey went away with a fitness coach in the summer for 5/6 weeks. Thinks! Also, he says Ramsey looked slow/weak/etc END of last season. Couldn't be further from the truth, Ramsey was dominating in midfield from March onwards, players were literally bouncing off him. Does Robson watch matches? Fellaini/Carrick/Jones/Nani/etc couldn't deal with Ramsey and those are two very strong footballers. Also, Ramsey went on holiday to 3 of 4 different places in the summer. When did this training with a fitness coach take place?

His comments about Ramsey v Wilshere came from a discussion about Rooney/RVP where Rooney maybe plays better without RVP and that Rooney suffered at United because RVP was seen as the main man last season. Robson says Wilshere has his 'nose bent out of shape' because of Ramsey's success and isn't 'nearly the same player' that he was because he 'doesn't feel needed. Wilshere as a right sided player this season looks a far more consistent footballer than the Wilshere of last season to me.

So glad Robson no longer has any affiliation with Arsenal Football Club.

Volante

Class comment from Marcotti though, jokingly says he wonders if Ramsey isn't actually Vidal in a mask. Wonderful.

That's even worse than some of the stuff Otf puts out there...

Robson's an idiot though. Absolutely clueless.

Volante

He has a very clear agenda against Arsene Wenger which I don't understand. Some of the stuff he has said about Wenger in the past is cringe worthy. If you didn't have a clue about football and only listened to Robson you'd think Wenger didn't understand football tactics and randomly picked the team every week. He also feeds a lot of this nonsense to colleagues, passing it off as inside information from the training ground. I know for a fact Raphael Honigstein is one of them. He also has a weird agenda against Arsenal.
