The Race to sign Ramsey - Two becomes Four, it may yet be more


What a crazy 5 months in the life of Aaron Ramsey, not quite yet 17 and a half.

Since getting his Cardiff City full debut in January, he's had 20 games for City, been the youngest ever Welsh Under 21, called into the senior squad and been in a F.A. Cup Final and now has every big club in the land rushing to want to hand over multi-millions to Cardiff City to sign the lad. Talk about having the world at your feet.

Yesterday it was revealed that Manchester United and Arsenal had agreed a fee with Cardiff City. United were quick to jump the gun making an announcement that the player was on his way to Old T. Today, they've announced they've agreed terms with the player. Ramsey and his family are believed to be Manchester United fans and it still seems certain he'll sign for the Premiership and European Champions who were the first to show interest and would look after him well.

However Rambo will speak at Arsenal too before committing and now will be adding the Mersey duo of Liverpool and Everton to his list as both today agreed the same fee with City, thought to be between £5M and £6M as a package. Spurs may yet do the same.

This could drag on for another week or more but it's only right Ramsey speaks to all and takes his time making a life changing decision. Not quite the choices I had at his age!
