The early morning speculation has proved correct as Rambo has told Cardiff City that he wishes to sign for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal. It now remains between the clubs to wrap up the finer detail but Peter Ridsdale has already confirmed it is the best 'up front' offer with some talk that The Gunners are paying the full fee now but that there will be no sell-on clause.
Rambo will now be close again to his best mate, Chris Gunter, who is nearby at rivals Spurs. Ironic both of them were sold by City before Cardiff fans had much chance to fully appreciate them as each only played 20 games for the The Bluebirds.
City fell over themselves to sell Rambo to United talking about the special relationship and thinking how they'd have Ramsey back next season. That's why I believe they too quickly snapped up United's offer when they could have had an auction and got more.
How ironic that the reason City wanted to get him to United - to get him back for City - is probably the biggest factor why it didn't happen ... well that and Alex Ferguson leaving it with Ramsey and his family to meet Gary Neville instead of him. That's poor!
Think Ramsey will be a better player with Arsenal and their style of football and I fully understand why, if he's leaving Cardiff then there's no way he would want to stay on. Can't escape the feeling that as good as the fee is, Ridsdale still cocked it up.
BEST WISHES AARON.
