Unless its a long term deal if its 3 years he might think, its a shed load of cash, tax free and the family can move out with me
The Saudies, the Yanks, money usually wins out in the end..
Would be quite a nice feelgood story if, as all these stars flock to Saudi Arabia for a payday, the Wales captain turns them down to sign for his boyhood club
Piss off Saudi Arabia, you human rights abusing bastards.
Werent we saying the same things last year about Bale - didnt need the money, wanted to play in a more competitive league pre World Cup.
I think anyone will find it hard to turn down millions in the bank, but lets see what happens.
The money in Saudi should be a nobrainer, only a few years and he can retire back home to Cardiff then
Life is short, time with kids when they are little is even shorter and over in a blink of the eye, he hasn’t seemed too happy for years being away all through covid too…..he’s minted already so why add another few coins he will never spend to the pot? Don’t think I’d want to live there for whatever money…..could I get mango cider over there? Or a Guinness?
Ramey has shown he cares a lot about animal rights by previously supporting the world wildlife fund. Hopefully he cares as much about human rights and rejects any Saudi offering.
Easy Saudi money wins out. He'd be mad not to take it.
If he does have an offer from Saudi I am sure his agent, wife, family and everybody who knows him will be telling him to go there
If it was me Id be on the first camel out there and would only remember my conscious when Im back after 2 years and reading my bank statement
Saudi it is then.. He never made Gareth Bale money. He's gonna take it.
Are you really sure Ramsey's wife and family would be telling him to go to Saudi ? In fact I doubt very much if that is the case. His agent though may have other ideas.
his agent will
he family will be saying to stay, his insta has been showing him having a good time, doing normal family things, he has got to miss that, as goats said above, life short, enjoy it with the kids while they are kids
Why would his wife and family want him to move to Saudi Arabia for 2 years?
Who wouldn’t want a few extra million in the bank.
He will be signing for us.
I don’t think that caring about animals translates to caring about human rights. Sentimentality can be very close to cruelty.
Here’s a quote about Hitler from a German children’s magazine published during the Third Reich
“Do you know that your Fhrer is a vegetarian, and that he does not eat meat because of his general attitude toward life and his love for the world of animals? Do you know that your Fhrer is an exemplary friend of animals, and even as a chancellor, he is not separated from the animals he has kept for years?...The Fhrer is an ardent opponent of any torture of animals, in particular vivisection, and has declared to terminate those conditions...thus fulfilling his role as the savior of animals, from continuous and nameless torments and pain”.
— Neugeist/Die Weisse Fahne (contemporaneous pro-Nazi children's magazine)
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.
If that was the case he might as well stay at Nice who are paying him a hell of a lot of money and not move even further away from his family, if they didn't move to Nice with him they certainly won't be heading to Saudi Arabia
If they were trebling or more my wages, my wife would have me packed and out of the house before breakfast.
Me
Lots of people
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.
I’ll be honest if I was him I’d skin the message boards and say screw that, I’m going for the money.
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.
