I don’t think that caring about animals translates to caring about human rights. Sentimentality can be very close to cruelty.Quote:

I’m not suggesting for one second that Aaron Ramsey is similar or equivalent to Adolf Hitler in any way.
However your hope that the human rights record of Saudi will deter Aaron is likely in vain.
He's made a hell of a lot of money from football, he was on over £100k a week at Arsenal for years, he was on £400k pre tax at Juventus plus whatever his signing fee was and is on supposedly over £100k a week at Nice. That's millions, not quite Bale but still plenty of money.Quote:

If the Saudis are interested, then Nice would be wise to trigger the contract extension and then demand a transfer fee. They may get a windfall given what the Saudis might pay
Phil Blanche says Cardiff are drawing closer despite Saudi interest
I guess there is one thing taking a decent drop in wages and another missing out on a few million. I guess they weigh up how much that extra money could change the rest of their life and their life style.Quote:

The extension was automatically triggered. I'm sure some of what you say has been playing out over the past few days. If Ramsey pulls this off then he is absolutely all the good things that people have said about him :thumbup:.Quote:

Saudi can blow us out of the water as far as money is concerned. But home is where the heart and family is. And I guess he already has enough dosh to be secure for a lifetime or two.
It's Bale mark II but we might have a slightly better chance at this one as he's played here before
Agreed. Bale had no affinity to us whatsoever apart from the fact he was born in Cardiff.Quote:

Cadden from the Sun reporting that Ramsey's closing in on signing for Cardiff. Phil Blanche, who also covers Wales, reporting similar "despite big money Saudi Arabia offer"
Looks like it may be happening
The Saudi offer means that they either uproot their young family to Saudi Arabia or Ramsey sees very little of his kids all for the sake of more money, when they likely already have more than they could ever spendQuote:

I'd take that money, knowing that it would all be over in two years. No long distance though. The family goes together.
But then Ramsey is a far better person than I am. He's coming home and he didn't even have to :ayatollah:
Monday.
Nice to see the Daily Mail reader’s typical commentsQuote:

I’m confused now, is it still next week, or this week ?
that might well be the first time i've ever read a daily mail article and not come away pissed off thinking i'd never read another daily mail articleQuote:

sorry to others mentioning WOL but the BBC don't get on board with stuff like this unless it's true...

He's coming home - Rambo's coming home:ayatollah:
AaaaaRRrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGgGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
Has Ramsey ever mentioned of doing his coaching badges? I remember a story of him and Bale going to be offered the opportunity a few years ago. I'm assuming as he's been on the continent he wouldn't have been able to take up the offer or he wasn't interested?
I'm clutching at straws here but I'd love him to return and start doing the badges with a long term view to the club.
Rambo as manager in 5 years.
It's the romantic in me.
*I've proper cursed his return now and he'll fail the medical.
I'll be absolutely buzzing if we get Rambo back home !! What a boost for us fans , players and the club 🐦🐦🐦🐦😍
Don’t think that’s how you spell Aaron RamseyQuote:

Doesn't seem to be any uncertainty on whether a) he is having a medical today or b) his contract has expired
Some extra cash for Rambo's wages :sherlock:

Still no news
Aagghh
Hmmm, as the French might say its a case of..... "we've been here before"
It is a national holiday in France. As opposed to Bale, this time it is done. He needs all the paperwork finishing at Nice’s end. I wouldn’t be surprised if this rolled into next week.Quote:
