Aaron Ramsey will leave Arsenal for free at the end of the season after the club told him in person why he will not be offered a new contract, Sky Sports News understands.

if we can't sign Mateo permanent Ramsey could be an option in the summer

I am always on board with free quality, but I think Mount might stake his claim next year. Kante/Jorginho/Barkley/RLC/Mount looks pretty damn good (assuming we can't sign Kovacic, im a big kovacic fan and believe we should)

If Barkley/RLC continue to impress I don't see the space for Ramsey. Maybe if we manage to offload Drinkwater to someone and Fabregas leaves but even without those 2 our midfield still looks pretty crowded.

I dont care if we have to pick up partial wages, but can we PLEASE BIN DONKEYWATER!!! And Baka and Moses and Cahill, FFS!!!!!

Kovacic has to be first choice. Ramsey is a good player but if we have to choose one or the other it's an easy choice. Fact Arsenal are willing to let him go for free says a lot too... also Liverpool 😂 he's never gonna get a game, is he stupid? Keita is the more advanced player in that MF, Lallana can play there too.. then they have Oxlade Chamberlain too...

Wouldn't mind see us getting Ramsey but if we end up signing Kovacic and with a midfield of Jorginho/Kovacic/Kante/Barkley/Loftus-Cheek, where does Ramsey even fit in, especially when Sarri seems to have a rigid player-position selection in the midfield? And that's without even mentioning Mount.

If we get Kovacic on a perm basis, dont see the reason for getting him either, unless we sell Kante too. Obviousy  Drinkwater, Moses, Bakadonkeyoko and Cesc need to go too, so Ramsey would be more than likely Kova's backup in the role Kante now fills (and isnt doing a good enough job).

I don't see what he offers that would drastically change our midfield. He would just be another needless stumbling block for youth coming through.

Even if Kovacic does not come in

Jorginho - Kante -  RLC - Barkley - Mount - Fabregas(?) is plenty

No. Not even close. Especially if Fabregas is sold, which he deffo needs to be, he is spent, not capable of playing to high level in role he needs to be.

Let's look at what we would have if Kovacic is pulled back, and not replaced, and no others are brought in:

You have ONE DH DMF , Jorginho, with ZERO legit back-up in what is arguably the most important position on the field in Sariball.

You have a quite possibly completely maladjusted Kante as your B to B runner CMF hybrid with ZERO backup or competition (he is not adapting well atm IMHO)

And you have 3 AMF's

Barkley

RLC, who I rate but many do not.

and a teenager, Mount, with no big league experience playing for a manager who is so far pretty much refusing to play youth.

Donkeyoko and Drinkwater are SHIT and need to be sold like yesterday.

 

So, no, not remotely good enough, not even if we keep Kovavcic. We need a true backup DH DMF.

Sarri knows which one, and I agree 100000% (ironically he is a teen, lolol)

Sandro Tonalli, who has Pirlo 2.0 screaming from his pores.

Btw, I already listed prettt muchevery possible AND acceptable Kovacic replacement here
