It's time Wenger's Welsh Wizard waves goodbye to North London

Many, many fellow Gooners will disagree with what I have to say, but I feel that this Summer Arsene Wenger should cash in on inconsistent midfielder Aaron Ramsey while he still has some value.

Yes it could come back to haunt Arsene but this season Ramsey has been blowing hot and cold, and far too often it has been the latter.

On Sunday he only came on for the remaining 12 minutes but during that time he managed to squander a superb chance to double Arsenal's lead when he selfishly blazed wide with Robin Van Persie in acres of space.

Of course for a while fans of the Welsh captain could point to his horrific injury he received at Stoke last season which I agree affected him on his return, but it has been over a year since his comeback and that excuse has long gone.

Registering just three goals from midfield in 39 appearences is not an amazing record from someone who gets as many chances as Ramsey does and with Tomas Rosicky's improving form and Alex Song's consistently superb performances Ramsey is becoming the weak link of the midfield trio.

I am sure that when Jack Wilshere finally returns from injury Wenger will go with Song holding midfield and Rosicky and Wilshere playing just in front.

He cost the club £5,000,000 when we took him from Cardiff nearly four years ago and now his value is probably still above what we paid for him, but if his performances this season continue through to next then it will drop, rapidly.

If Wenger was to sell the former Bluebird and invest the money in improving the squad then I for one would be delighted.

Thanks for all you have done Aaron, but for me, your time gracing the Emirates pitch is up.

He's just a kick for fk sake! This is his first full season in the prem league and he's just come back from a major injury that alot of people don't come back from! Give the kid a break, it will take time to develop into the player he can be. Its the same for anyone! He may or may not get there, but we shouldn't be pissing him off already.

People are so quick to judge. Clearly morons, he's to young to have shown his full potential just yet.

he's just a kid*

What a ridiculous article !!!! He is just 21 and has been through hell, needs some fucking time and i think he hasnt been that bad, actually his season has been pretty . Not everyone is cesc fabregas !!!!

[Umair Iqbal Khan]

sell a player at 21, who has been injured for long and just had one full season under his belt !!! he needs time and in a season or two he will be a very good player, cant say he will be the next fabregas but he will be good !

BRILLIANT ARTICLE. IF HE WAS A FOREIGN PLAYER ALL OF THESE IDIOTS WOULD BE SAYING SELL HIM ALSO. HE IS OVERRATED, ARROGANT, SLOW AND SELFISH! SELL HIM AND SELL THAT OTHER FUCKING IDIOT WALCOTT!

I FED UP OF READING THESE STUPID COMMENTS THATWE SHOULD NOT SELL RAMSEY BECAUSE HE IS SO YOU. WHY ARE YOU ALL HAPPY TO SELL DENNILSON? DENNILSON IS FAR BETTER THAN RAMSEY. I KNOW DENNILSON IS NOT BRITISH, BUT HE IS BETTER.

although i have been saying ramsey has been a disappointment this season, maybe because of the high standard of cesc but ramseys passing has let him down in my opinion. he doesnt seem to get the team moving as slick as rocsicky or arteta. he seems to delay the pass or choose the wrong pass, yes his shooting is bad but i wont hold that against him as a midfilder its not always about shooting. i agree with the authors about hot and cold but 1 full season maybe jumping the gun on seeling a good young player.

And presumably you wanted rid of RVP because he was never fit, Song because he wasn't fit to wear the shirt and that young upstart Thierry Henry who was useless when he first joined the club. What a dick.
