da poker: Yesterday, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey confirmed on his official Twitter account that he had agreed a pre-contract with Juventus after months of speculation suggesting that he would be joining the Italian giants.
da pinnacle: And according to BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein, the Welshman is set to earn an astonishing £400,000-a-week, which will make him the highest paid British player of all time.
The Breakdown
For as good as a midfielder Ramsey is, there is no world or universe where the 28-year-old warrants those kind of figures.
Ramsey’s injury record alone means handing him such wages is an incredibly crazy move, while he simply does not do enough on the pitch when he is fit enough to play to deserve that sort of money.
In fact, no midfielder in general should be offered the £400,000 that is currently being mentioned.
They are rarely capable of winning games in a way a forward can or at least as often, while albeit not the same profile as Ramsey, Juventus already have some very good players at their disposal when it comes to the middle of the park.
Considering all of that, Arsenal supporters, who know Ramsey best, will probably be laughing at this insane investment Juventus have made.
