RAMSEY BAFFLED BY CONTRACT SNUB

AARON RAMSEY has revealed that Arsenal have left him totally in the dark over why they decided to retract their contract offer. Sportsmail revealed that Ramsey was expected to leave the club at the end of the season due to the impasse over a new deal. Ramsey had been on the verge of signing a new contract at the Emirates, only for the offer to be withdrawn last month. And the Wales international claims he has had no answers as to why the club pulled out of the deal. ‘Well, there is no contract on the table at the moment so there is nothing for me to consider or whatever,’ said Ramsey (right). ‘We all know that the contract was taken off the table. I’m not sure exactly why because a few weeks before we sort of agreed and I was ready to sign. ‘Something happened, I am not sure exactly what, but that contract is no longer there, or nothing’s on the table. ‘Hopefully somebody will come up and tell me why. I’ll accept that if there’s a reason. But at the moment, no, I haven’t (had an answer). Yes, I’d like some clarity, but I’m just concentrating on playing my football.’ Ramsey’s future is now hugely uncertain. Manchester United, Chelsea and Juventus are all believed to be interested. But no matter what the future holds, there is one club Ramsey said he would never sign for. ‘No, I’d never join Tottenham,’ said the 27-year-old, after he captained the Gunners in Thursday’s 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon. ‘I don’t feel like I’m playing for a contract, I’m playing the way I have always played.’
