One Arsenal player is the reason Aaron Ramsey has to leave the club

Arsenal are right to offload Aaron Ramsey as they can’t have two players as bad as him and Mesut Ozil at tracking back, according to the former Arsenal legend Stewart Robson. Robson believes keeping Wales superstar would be a waste of big wages. Robson told Love Sport: “Arsenal have always been quite good when they’ve won the ball back [because] they can counter-attack quickly and spring to life. "Arsenal have never been quite so good - or some of their players haven’t been - at recovering when the ball is lost. That’s been Arsenal’s problem for many, many years. But I think Unai Emery is trying to address that. But it’s going to take the mindset of some of the players, Ozil in particular and Ramsey. They are the two players that don’t react quickly enough when the ball changes hands.” The 27-year-old has hit 59 goals in his ten years with Arsenal, however, Robson insists Arsenal have made the right decision to sell him. Robson added: “I would say Arsenal have made the right decision because the two players that show the good and the bad of Arsenal are Ramsey and Ozil. “Ramsey seems to run forward much quicker than when he’s having to run back. He seems to be good at sprinting into the opposition’s box and you think: ‘that was great pace!’ but when he’s got to run back the other way, he rolls his head and looks as though he can’t run."
