Ramsey Can Never Be Considered Captain

Watching clips of Sunday again I really can't believe how selfish and self-obsessed this guy has become. In 13-14 everything was so natural and everything he tried came off but now he seems so keen on recreating that form and he's forcing everything.

Making me wonder if that's really what his game is all about. Someone like Lampard did it naturally for years (late runs, drive from midfield, keep the ball moving forward) Ramsey has a better skill-set imo but Lampard is who he should be replicating although he spoke of his admiration for Gerrard this summer that's not the player he is and should stop trying so hard to be him.

Constant lack of effort to dismiss interest from Spain is also a reason I'd write him off. We need someone who is committed and whether it happens or not at least sees his best years at the club. Hope Jack can get back to his best and stay fit because there's no better natural candidate in my eyes.

Another thing is... when will our main captain be a regular long term starter for us? We've severely lacked stability on that front for years. People say the 'armband doesn't matter' 'more than 1 leader' blah blah but it really does.

Nobody takes responsibility, there's nobody to look for to get us out of a rut either. Per Mertesacker? Don't make me laugh! Our last real consistent captain that was influential really was Vieira. That's too long.

Gallas was a mess, Henry's felt he'd outgrown the club at that period, Cesc was always returning to Barca, RVP's only had 1 season, TV & Arteta instantly lost their spots. I think we need to commit to 1 that will carry us through and lead properly

Very cliché but we severely lack leadership here. Coquelin & Wilshere are the only real players that I think have the potential but in a year from now we don't know if either will be in the side regularly. It's a shame Kos is quiet.

Think Liquid is Welsh. Ramsey is probably not even in the top 10 CMs in the league let alone the best. And if I built a box to box PL midfielder I would build Patrick Vieira or Roy Keane, Ramsey is not even close to that level and never will be.

Rambo is bang average. Any body that can't see that should probably take a trip to Wisconsin and watch golf.

He isn't average by any means, just a selfish idiot.

he is very average, and thats only if you include his good 6 months, if you didn't he would be long gone

santi scored 2 less than ramsey last year

If I was to build a box to box midfielder I would give him the ability to track back, to not take a shot whenever you have the slightest bit of space and to not go missing apart from to mess up an attack, so nothing like ramsey

Cazorla is clearly our best player after Alexis, in fact he is arguably better than Alexis. Ramsey has had one amazing season for us, apart from 13/14 he has flattered to deceive. Along with Szczesney he was the big disappointment of last season. Comparing Ramsey to Cazorla is embarrassing. Ozil is getting all the negative press but Ramsey currently is by far our weakest link.

Alexis, Giroud, Wilshere, Ramsey and possibly Coquelin arr the only ones who give their all, even when having a bad game. They never hide.

This doesn't change the fact Ramsey has been p.issing me off lately though.

Only lately? How about the past 12 months!

Don't get why he gets so much hate. He is a big player for you and his deflected shot was so close to going in.

I remember when he scored against uns in 2011 and we all know who died. Remember cardiff game I think in 2013 to around time Paul Walker died.
