McMahon: Aaron Ramsey would be good fit at Liverpool

[Bjornebye]

On a fucking free?!  Regardless of his wages its a fucking steal. I would love him in this squad. He is a top top player. When fit.... 

[3 Stacks]

Stylistically he's a good fit. Do we really want someone who is approaching his thirties on a huge signing bonus and wages with a history of a multitude of injuries though? I'd say probably not. I doubt there is anything in those rumours.

I don't mean to be harsh mate but any opinion you have on footy is null and void because you chat more shit than a coked up tory.

Don't be so harsh on yourself, mate.

He is not even 28, until December.

He'd be 28 and turning 29 when we'd have the chance to sign him. Is that not "approaching his thirties" enough for you?

[SasaS]

Well, if we sign him in the summer, he would be playing for us for a season and a half before turning 30, which means he is now ideal age for a PL-proven free transfer. This would mean his age would be the least of our worries at the moment.

Naby Keita's brother is 421 years of age and he is on trial. He was in Stringvests year at school. Don't be ageist. Age don't mean shit. 

[Jairzinho]

No.

[joe_fishfish]

I think he's too old and too injury prone for us to accommodate unless we see significant departures in the summer.

[INTORRESTING]

I rate him but he will just be sat in the treatment room with Lallana and the Ox.

He’s not too old at all! Only half a year older than Van Dijk.

[El Rojo]

Ramsey's already splitting the fanbase. Get rid.

[TheHowieLama]

He could be the white James Milner.

Don't we already have one of them in Gini Wijnaldum?

So next summer, he'll be 28, a year younger than James Milner was when we signed him.

Of course we signed James Milner one time so that obviously means every free singing on huge wages whose primes will be over soon will be worth it. 

 

And I wouldn't care if we did it as I like the player, but there are better moves to make and the club, bar the Milner signing doesn't tend to make this kind of move anyways. That was my point.

Liverpool have opted against making a summer move for Arsenal and Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey, according to reports.

 

Ramsey’s current contract runs out at the end of the season, meaning the talented midfielder will be available as a free agent next summer, after Arsenal withdrew their offer of a new deal.

 

The Wales international was unhappy with Arsenal’s approach to the situation as they initially refrained from giving a valid reason as to why the offer was withdrawn.

 

But the 27-year-old has been now told by the club that their will be no new offer, and Ramsey has conceded that this will be his last as a Gunner.

 

Manchester United and Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder, while reports also claim that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is in the market for a new central midfielder.

However, according to Sky Sports, Liverpool have no interest in signing Ramsey, even should he be available on a free transfer.

 

Speaking after Arsenal’s slender League cup victory over League One side Blackpool on Wednesday evening, Unai Emery insisted he had been pleased with Ramsey’s attitude amid uncertainty surrounding his future off-the-field.

 

“The most important thing for me with Aaron is, I spoke with him last week, his spirit, his quality, his confidence, his focus to us in training, in matches like today,” said Emery.

 

“He played for 20 minutes against Crystal Palace, he played with this spirit.

 

“He’s focused with us, with the training and in every match like today also. He is working very well.”

[Hades]

Yes from me. Good-looking British lads increase marketing potential and mindshare.

[aws]

Never rated him.

A petty player age argument in an Arsenal-related thread?

 

He is actually only 6 months older than De Bruyne. Where did the time go?

[Lee909]

Mirror saying we have no interest in Ramsey. Too old and too injury prone.

Pros: 

He's a good player

 

Cons: 

He is incredibly injury prone

Plays a position where we have other injury worries

He would be on a massive wage, coming on a free

He would improve the squad, but isn't world class which is what we're looking for, or should be

It would make it much less likely we'd buy that top player we need.

 

I'm out.

A lot of that could have been said about the Ox, and he wasn't exactly shoddy before disaster struck.

Personally I agree with Ramsey's injury concerns, but if Klopp sees something he thinks he can polish and use for the benefit of the team then who am I to disagree with him ?

It depends on whether Klopp and his back room staff already have their eye on a younger, less known and more robust player who can provide what Ramsey does.
