Some of the responses in this thread are well and truly OTT.

Were we considered an option? Yes. Did the media speculation in the previous 72 hours raise hopes beyond us just being an option? Yes.

I'm not sure the LA deal came about until relatively late on, but I said when his agent had the interview to Wales Online that there would be an agenda; and it was clearly done to stop the hyperbole that was starting to occur.

He can go to LA; come away from the spotlight, get some match fitness (the league isn't fantastic but it's championship comparable) and see where he stands in a year time.

I would've been absolutely delighted he came here, but this makes him no less of the Wales legend he already was. It makes him no more of a Cardiff City legend, but then he never was one.

The unveiling at Hensol is a bit of a but ultimately that took place yesterday evening with the FAW as I understand it.

Plus, I'd always have preferred Ramsey if we can get him fit and firing anyway and no, I've not got a bloody clue .
