    Another one to dissappear into the depths of Abu City's vast system.

    Wonder how much his parents got?

    Cracking player, i like how city dont hold on to their young players for too long and let them make permanent moves rather than just loaning them all the time

    Reserves going for £15m, good but not exactly world class players going for £70m-£100m.

    The transfer market is out of control. Going to take a massive club going under for people to realise how ridiculous things have become.

    Mandatory that they have a buy-out in Spain so they always set them ridiculously high. Vini Jr is about £900m :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Aaron Ramsey declined the Saudi money to sign for his boyhood club Cardiff on a low salary.

    Ramsey of course banked millions from Juve as a Bosman, but will have earned less than Jordan over his career.

    He’s 32, and had offers at higher level in Europe also.

    That’s how it’s done.

    I wonder if his serious injury and the genuine career-threatening he had has changed his perspective on whats important in football. Moved him away from maximising income towards maximising pride in his career.

    We talk about how short a career it is as often as excuse as to why they should maximise income (and I completely understand this in most circumstances). We rarely talk about how having a short career thats coming to an end means these players have a small window to do something they'll really be proud about when theyre older.

    Ramsey wants to play football in Wales in front of his kids. And I f***ing love it.

    Aye maybe right mate. It’s great to see. He is still at a decent standard it’s suggested Nice we’re open to negotiation, he hasn’t gone there with no options. It’s for love of his club and like you say it’s quality to see.

    Hope he goes well for them.
