Arsenal
legend, Ian Wright has said that the club have made the right decision to sell
midfielder, Aaron Ramsey, because the Gunners can sign two or three players
with the Welshman’s wage.
Ramsey had
been keen on staying at the Emirates and was close to signing a new long-term
deal with the Gunners.
However, the
Arsenal board decided to withdraw their offer after holding talks with the new
manager, Unai Emery and Ramsey look set to leave the club in January or at the
end of the season.
Ramsey was
surprised by the club’s decision to withdraw the contract but Wright feels the club
have done the right thing.
“He is a top
player, when you get a top player like that who is going for free, you are
going to have teams of that calibre [Bayern] coming for them,” Wright said on
his YouTube channel.
“I think it
might be the perfect time for us and for him to move on. I think the boss
should be given, now, the time and especially the money, to try and find maybe
one or two replacements for someone like Aaron Ramsey, rather than giving Aaron
Ramsey the kind of money he was asking for.
“Maybe we
can get two, maybe three players at the 70, maybe £80,000-a-week level to come
in and really bolster up the squad and contribute more.
“I think it
might be time for Aaron to move on and I think it is a really good move for
him, so hopefully we can, whether it is this window or the summer, we can get a
few players in that fill that gap.
“It isn’t
something I’m too disappointed about, I’m pleased for him and I’m pleased with
the new ruthless Arsenal in respects of the way they are saying.
“If that’s
the way it is going to be, then that’s the way it is going to be.”
