Aaron Ramsey: “I’m really”

Aaron Ramsey:


“I’m really happy to be back and helping my teammates.” said Aaron. “I’ve got a smile back on my face again, and hopefully I can help towards the end of the season.

“It’s been a tough few months, so I’m just happy to be back. I had a bit of a setback, and then it was just about making sure that I was right when I did come back. I’ve missed two decent chunks of the seasons, so it’s been very frustrating on that front. I’m hoping now to have a strong end to the season and help this team as much as I can.

“I feel good in myself. I’ve played 45 minutes for the U21s, I’ve played 60 minutes in the Cup, I’ve come off the bench, so the next progression now will be to start a [Championship] game. I’m feeling ready to do that.

“I really enjoyed coming on at the weekend, back here in front of the fans. That was a nice moment for me, and I just want more of that now towards the end of the season. I’m concentrating on a week at a time, a game at a time, and going from there.”

Having made his Championship comeback in last weekend’s Severnside derby, Rambo reflected on his time on the sidelines and the off-field opportunities it provided.

“I’ve had my fair share of injuries over the years, so I know how to take those moments; having the right people around me is really important.

“I’ve had to use that time wisely, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to coach the U18s and I’ve done a couple of bits for the First Team as well. It’s addictive – you definitely see the game differently. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.

“I’ve done my A License now, and I’m going to start my Pro Licence soon. The Club have been great in accommodating that and helping me along the way. It’s a journey that I’ve started, to put things in place for when that time does come.

“The Academy do a fantastic job at bringing through some great young talent. I’ve been really impressed with what they’re doing with all the age groups there. They’ve got a great facility now, and hopefully they can take full advantage of that.”

We’ve really missed him. Hopefully we us him properly now. He will be so valuable if kept fit.

Picking up a good wage for it while out too. Think we could have spent the money elsewhere to be honest.

It's easy to say that in hindsight.

But let's not forget that 99% of fans (me included) weren't saying that when he signed and were delighted.

So in all fairness, on this occasion, if we weren't saying it then it's not reasonable to think the board should have thought it.

If he wants to stay longer though, I would want it to be on reduced terms.

Quality player on his day but any extension should a rolling one based on injuries, we just cannot afford to have a world class player collecting wages for the majority of season.
