The rest of the players who were involved in international matches over the summer: Kasper Schmeichel (Denmark), Aaron Ramsey (Wales), Khephren Thuram (France U21s) and Ayoub Amraoui (Morocco U21s) will join up with the squad next week.

Hopefully some clerk who writes that up has made an incorrect assumption

City board still believe Ramsey is coming back to Cardiff City and Dalman remains that a deal is done

Aaron Ramsey's contract at Nice expired last month, but it is understood Ramsey played enough games to trigger an extension clause.

There has been no announcement or confirmation, however, to suggest the relevant parties have agreed to him staying on with the Ligue 1 club after Ramsey failed to agree a long-term deal.

Ramsey is also adamant he wants to stay in Cardiff.

I think that is just lazy journalism that we get over here Annis
Because he hasn't seen him sign anywhere

Doesn't seem like as he is included in next season's squad, with a different number from last year. :banghead:

This depends on the small print over extension clause, perhaps they read it as ' once the target is hit the extension kicks in ' but AR and agent read it as ' once the target is hit AR has an OPTION to extend.'
Oh my poor fingernails.

Aaron Ramsey is very close to finalising a deal with Cardiff City, apparently on a two-year deal. Ramsey is in talks with Nice to get out the contract extension they are trying to trigger.

Get there in the end lol.

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

It may be that it is AR's choice whether to trigger the extension, as he originally turned down a long contract!

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 12:00 pm

So does anyone actually know what’s going on? So much conflicting information.

Aaron Ramsey has two offers on the table.

Cardiff, and a big-money option in Saudi Arabia.

Making the rounds on Twitter

I cant cope with much more of this! hope he signs, he'll bring a stability to the side, there'll less panic in midfield and what a role model for the youngsters. and if he sells the club a lot of shirt(less his cut) and puts people on seats then all good

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 12:56 pm

Ramsey is doing everything in his power to come home

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 1:08 pm

They'll be laughing down the road again like after the bale fiasco if this ramsey thing goes tits up
I personally will be peeded off after all parties concerned stringing fans along again
why cannot the people concerned say yes or no
or at least stop builing up the fans hope to then have the rug pulled from under.

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 1:10 pm

The longer this goes on the more unconvinced I’m becoming. I hope we get some 100% concrete decisions one way or the other so we can move on.

If he comes then I’ll be over the moon. If not, I’ll be gutted for a while but we gotta move to other targets, pre season is fast running out.

We need clarity one way or the other before we go to Portugal I feel.

It helps if you don't believe everything you read. So much speculation but at the end of the day it is just a business transaction and these things take time. I don't for one minute think the club is deliberately trying to build up the fan's hopes only to let them down. It is quite obvious that a deal is close but I certainly won't lose any sleep worrying whether AR will or will not be joining us.

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 1:56 pm

He might have triggered the option for another year but my understanding on these things is it still requires all parties agreeing to it….he hasn’t agreed to stay on which Nice will know full well…..end of story

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 2:13 pm

Hi everyone. Long time reader - first time poster.

I really hope AR comes home.. As stated before, we need STABILITY this season and we need someone in the middle who can play that killer pass. All of our midfielders are very similar in playing style. :bluescarf:

Re: UPDATED: “ LATEST ON RAMSEY / CCFC “

Wed Jul 12, 2023 2:16 pm

At the time the contract extension was active (No. of games played). L'Equipe were saying that HE (Ramsey) was about to trigger the 12 month extension.

Also when you think about it. Who is being tested with such a clause?

It will be the player that will be given the opportunity to extend IF they proved their fitness by playing a certain number of games.

This clause is to stop players gaining an extra year off the back of a season of few games and injuries. It's their incentive should they choose to take it.

He won’t come, it’s last season all over again, I bet :(

Monty, I don’t understand why you’re ‘peeded’ off?

Why do you think all parties are stringing fans along?

According to Annis this transfer is all signed up so why not have a bit of patience?
These things are sometimes complicated and take time, can’t you comprehend that?

Look at Declan Rice and his transfer from West Ham to Arsenal for example. It’s all done and dusted and has been going on a lot longer than the Ramsey situation but cannot be revealed yet for whatever reason.

Or are you just trying to blame our club?
