Well done Dick and the Septic. We've given away a 400k p/w midfielder

[Ganpati's Goonerz--AFC's Aboriginal Fertility Cult]

He isn't that good even in his best position, which is where Unai has been playing him.

He has consistently shown himself to be an utter liability when played in a more central midfield role. Last time I saw Juve play, I thought they looked very good there. Will be interesting* to see where they play him and how much they play him.

* not really, f*ck 'im

They'll have to play him.

It's not like you pay £3-400k pw for a top drawer midefielder and leave him on the bench, is it? Oh.

I have just realised who "Dick" is. Silly me.

Ramsey - good luck to him. Very good player but not in the bracket of the alleged money he is earning (though I do know that the way the deal is structured means he is not earning the silly money per week being reported by silly people).

From Ornstein:

The club made Ramsey a new improved offer in September but it was declined by his management team.

Which is the complete opposite of what we were previously told ie wages agreed but he had extra demands with regards his role in the team and Unai said no.

Even that seems odd ie Unai saw him as a more offensive player but Ramsey wanted a deeper role in central midfield bit Ramsey has never looked like that sort of defensive player.

Do we owe Unai an apology? It seems this was down to money and there’s no way I’d give him anything north of 200 a week.

I thought it was just another case of verbal abuse being aimed at Rich
