Maybe I'm a cynic but since the Anelka days, a lon g term contract doesn't make
much difference any m ore. When a player has had enough they just make n oises,
complain, then, inevitably, leave. A positi ve to the Ramsey situation is, when
he decides to leave and go home to cardiff he'll still be able t o drive to tra
ining every day. Also, as arsenal wi ll more than likely spend the rest of etern
ity abo ve cardiff in the league, only when he's close to retirement will he ut
ter those dreaded words " I'd like return home to play for my home town club
again at some point."
