‘We’ll cope without Ramsey’

-

ARSENAL hero Ian Wright says he won’t be too disappoint­ed to see Aaron Ramsey leave this summer and believes Bayern Munich is the right move for him.

Ramsey’s contract situation has been a hot topic since it was revealed terms previously on the table for the Welshman were withdrawn at the last minute.

The former Cardiff City man said last month that he was mystified over why talks stalled.

“We all know the contract has been taken off the table and I still don’t know why, because a few weeks before we’d sort of agreed a deal and I was ready to sign,” he said.

“But something happened within the club and I’m not exactly sure what it was.

And Wright says it is the right time for player and club to part ways.

“He is a top player, when you get a top player like that who is going for free, you are going to have teams of that calibre (Bayern) coming for them,” Wright said on his YouTube channel.

“I think it might be the perfect time for us (Arsenal) and for him to move on.

“I think Emery should be given the time, especially the money, to try and find maybe one or two replacemen­ts for someone like Aaron Ramsey, rather than giving Aaron Ramsey the kind of money he was asking for.

“Maybe we can get two, maybe three players at the 70, maybe £80,000 a week level to come in and really bolster up the squad.”
