He was head and shoulders the best centre mid in a promotion team. He's clearly a very good player. His passing is average but his dynamism is key and he's a massive figure in the club. He also has a very good habit of getting in the way. He's a real pest.

Our promotion campaign was built on being difficult to beat and conceding few goals. Obviously the midfield is part of that but for me Gunnarsson was the one who was more instrumental in that. Since he has gone nobody has filled that void, Ralls is an OK championship midfielder.

Ralls was far more instrumential in our promotion.

Ralls 37 appearances 7 goals 4 assists.

Gunner 20 apperances 1 goal no assists.

Last 4 seasons without ralls average points
(compared to overall target)
20 1.55 (1.58)
19 0.9 (0.89)
18 2.11 (1.95)
17 1. 25 (1.29)

Not a massive difference but doesn't show him as someone who massively influences games. Our central midfield is much of a muchness and has been for a few years.

Ralls doesn't do anything to a particularly high standard.
