Ramsey has made 11 (+6) appearances for City during his current spell at the club. We’ve won 4 of those games. Interestingly, Ramsey was on the field when the winning goal was scored in just one of those four matches.Quote:

Do you reckon Liam Cullen would get into the current Cardiff City starting line-up?Quote:

He's been an absolute legend but your body tells you when it's time to retire.
Indeed. When Ramsey joined City his was an injury-prone 32 year-old. He’s now a perennially injured 34 year-old. I’ll be amazed if he’s got much left to give at this level. That didn’t look to be the case in the second half of last season or the early stages of this. He looked spent.Quote:

I don't think many of the clubs around us at the bottom of the division would be turning their noses up at the chance of getting a player if his calibre
In fairness, Meite isn't competition in centre midfield.Quote:

I think to suggest that he's still capable of being a top player in this division after spending most of the last 18 months recovering from injury is being a bit optimistic - it's only being based on past glories and hope. On paper he should have a lot to offer. On grass it might be a different story. We shall see. A fully fit Ramsey playing at 80% of the level he was at a couple of seasons ago would be a great player for us. One at 50% who isn't fully fit won't help us at all. We shouldn't make the mistake of thrusting him in asap just because of his name.
