Strikes me that you're a bit shallow.

so far this sounds a lot like the flamini story. minus the spell at LB

Since returning from injury he's had the same upper body strength as my Nan - so far this year I reckon he's now stronger than her, then again she died in July.

Funnily enough:

The stats bear it out: last season, Ramsey attempted a tackle every 30 minutes, at an exceptional success rate of 89%. This season, he’s already the league’s best midfield tackler, winning 12/13 of his duels (a success rate of 92%).

I've been critical of Ramsey but have no problem at all with his performances this season. He's been doing well.

He's been better this year but Santi, Wheelchair & Ozzy surely must play in a central midfield 3 ( Santi is wasted in wide position ) - probably with Lukas & Theo either side when all fit. Only room on the bench for him.

A tackle every 30 minutes, that means 3 a game. No wonder we say he is crap and just allows the opposition, free range in midfield. Now that Flamster is back he should sit on the bench, watch and learn. Then again being crap doesn't mean you get dropped by the Prof. Alumina was in our goal for 4 seasons. Let's wait and see how great Ramsey has been at the end of the season not at the middle of September.

AKBs, I hear the new mantra is that Ozil is a trophy , we don't need 4th place anymore.

Thats a recipe for disaster. Need some defensive nous in midfield. Having Arteta there led us to having the 2nd best defensive record in the league last season. Flamini is now crucial, as is Ramsey. It's Arteta versus Flamini for one position, Wilshere versus Ramsey for one position and Cazorla on the left.

I think Koscelny & Metersacker were a bigger influence on our defensive record in 2nd part of the season rather than Arteta. He is too slow, gives away more free kicks from tacking than he does winning the ball - cannot play a Mascerano/Makelele role. He is a modern day Ray Wilkins, more than happy playing 100 passes per game that get us nowhere.
Attack is the best form of defense - give Jack the role to hold off when Santi & Ozil attack - awesome. Having to play with defensive midfielders purely shows you have a shit defence.

A post that reads like a poke in the eye.

And I don't know where you've heard that mantra coz it is news to me.
