According to this we've won the race to sign him

Even better a report just in that he's snubbed manure for Arsenal from the official manure club website.

Yep - fkn scum.

Will be interesting to see how he goes in his first season.

I reckon he's got the ability to compete in the first team straight away. Probably providing us with something extra from the bench.

Uve been on the manure website? You must have a very powerful computer for it not to crash with all the viruses and trash on that website

The best thing is the Man Utd website announced the signing prematurely the other day, saying that Man Utd had won the race and he had signed for them - perhaps delibaratly in order to try and put pressure on him to sign before Arsenal flew him to Switzerland to meet Mr Wenger. Now they look like a bunch of dicks don't they!

How is this guy rated, will we see him make any appearances in the first team next year or is he a longer term prospect?

I reckon he'll be in the first team next year, initially as a sub, but will make more appearances as the fixture gets more congested.

With the signings of Nasri and Ramsey, it could mean that Arsenal will have a more attacking formation, without a DM, and two CM instead.

Wee...finally a signing! Ain't that feel good we beat United to it! On ya face United!

However, i still not so convinced he's the man who going to bring us any trophy next season

Welcome Aaron to the home of football!

Btw Nick, wanna come out with a chant for him ?

Good to finally see him in an Arsenal shirt.

Looking forward to seeing him for us in pre-season. We should have a number of first team players that will have a full pre-season.

There's a couple of good reports on the fella on Arsenal.com but has anybody got any quality footage of him? Jealous of your ATVO subscription Rich...you'd have access! Either that or detailed info on what sort of player he is?

I've got that he's versatile: played at right back/midfield. Seen as a central midfielder who's comfortable on the ball. Needs to bulk up a bit but at 17 has plenty of time to...anything else?

Here he is - his cameo in the FA Cup. Looks awesome! Especially having the confidence on such a big stage!

I think he'll tend to be played as a midfielder. He's a good all round player. I reckon he'll make it into the first team this year and possibly play alongside Cesc.

Ramsay and Nasri's signing could mean that Wenger is to play two central midfielders rather than a CM & DM.

Richard, if you don't mind, could you please upload video of Aaron Ramsey from ATVO in the video thread please? Cheers

You can't save videos from ATVO.

I'll put the link that Cyrus had in the section.

You can sometimes get ATVO videos on youtube, but I'm not sure how to convert them.

np Richard, found the video on youtube eventually just like you said =) So it's all good

OFF TOPIC here...

On the other hand Richard, is it possible to make starting XI player thread sticky, it's so hard to find them so times and there's a few duplicated ones as well.. Cheers

As in:

Almunia, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Clichy, Fabregas, Hleb, Rosicky, RVP and Adebayor's threads?

Well Richard, whoever you think would be in first team next season i guess

skyl wrote:Btw Nick, wanna come out with a chant for him ?

With a name like Ramsey - it should have quite a few F$%#ing expletives in it! And maybe a nice dinner too!

skyl wrote:Well Richard, whoever you think would be in first team next season i guess

Sounds good.

I'll fix it up.

i hope he's as good as he's hyped up to be...if he can step up like cesc (n theo who's improved heaps) we'd hav a trio a of youngsters who can really lead this team in the future. now for a CB, GK n maybe a striker Mr Wenger...

Can't see Wenger getting a CD unless they're cheap.

I don't mind Albiol though. For 5m, I reckon he's worth it, but not for the 10m than Valencia want. At 22, he's still developing and could allow Djourou to move to DM and us get some money for Gilberto.

Here's a link to the story:

The first pics of Ramsey at Arsenal's training.

Remember, although we've signed him he still is only 17 and we have many young guns itching to get blooded, lets not get too wrapped up in Ramsey too early as England did with Theo 2 years before he was ripe for us. Remember Theo was the saviour for England BEFORE he had even been fielded on an Arsenal first team game. Theo is coming into his own now but needed time to mature, lets give Ramsey the time before we pin any Arsenal outcomes on him.

Ramsey will take time to become a top player, but he showed in Cardiff's FA Cup run, that he's good enough to hold his own in the EPL.

He's probably better than the CMs that Pompy had in the final.

Wenger has said that Ramsey could be the answer to our midfield problems:

The Wales manager reckons he's as good as Cesc was at 17.

Check out this goal and assist from Rambo. Looks like a special player:

He has been likened to a young Brian Robson.
