SWaRFeGa Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Maybe add 15 extra PA to whatever he has at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWaRFeGa Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yaha, might turn out to be average. Wouldn't wanna go overboard. But I suppose you can do whatever you want with your own database - the researchers will re-assess for FM09 no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMT Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 He's mad if he goes there, nowhere near good enough for United, will just slump in the reserves. He'd be better off going somewhere like West Brom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be better off going somewhere like West Brom. That's what everyone said about Matt Jansen and he went to Palace then Blackburn and then disappeared forever. I know he had the bike accident but even before that he had declined rapidly and you have to think that perhaps taking the gamble with Man Utd and Fergie would have been a better choice than Blackburn and Souness.

Wilson7 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 i think he's a good signing personally. i signed him on the game 2 and he quite good for my at.madrid team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 He's not signed yet. All that's happened is that Cardiff have received 3 bids, and Manchester United have confirmed that one is theirs.

He certainly didn't live up to the hype, but taking that into consideration I don't think he was actually poor just that he was bigged up way too much, a la Neil Mellor lol.

That last minute goal vs Arsenal. Bast&rd. Now he just goes and gets sent off for mediocre teams. Ramsey's decision making and composure looked awful in the FA cup, and although the occasion certainly may have affected him, I've not really seen much in the Championship that's shown him to be much better. Can't ever see him being better than.. Fletcher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 And it's a bit weird that Manchester United have jumped the gun here. The player has only provisionally agreed and has other offers to consider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester United are saying that basically he's theirs, as he's agreed to their contractual terms; but he still has another offer to listen to, and so could in principle reject the Man Utd deal, if the other (believed to be Arsenal or Liverpool) is more tempting. I think at his age it's a test of character and where he sees his career at, given Man Utd's reputation for success, and Arsenal's for youth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Northern Irish and always get labelled as Irish so now I just classify anyone in mainland UK as English jkin This is turning into an off topic discussion and I don't really care where he ends up because as you said earlier he didn't really get my juices flowing in the FA cup. However, I don't see making the league cup squad or sitting on the bench but never actually getting to play as an incentive to join Arsenal lol.

A few League Cup games, a Prem game, loaned to League 2, released. Yeah. A bit off topic. I'll shush. If you call the Welsh English though, you're no better than the Americans, or Prince Phillip.

Nomis07 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Originally posted by Hershie:you're no better than the Americans, or Prince Phillip. Yellow card for offensive comment Personally I think Utd and Arsenal would both be excellent choices and as I said earlier the fact is if he doesn't improve enough to get games with either of those teams considering their coaching staff and facilities then he really was never good enough. Then again if he goes to someone like Wigan he may never reach his full potential because of no chance of European football etc. That's no disrespect to Wigan and i'm not saying he wouldn't achieve his potential if he went there, but the fact is he has more of a chance of reahcing it with a top team.
