Many poster's response was how he chose to stay at the blue half of Merseyside while I continued to hope how a top club will finally pick him up to show his true brilliance to the world. I knew Liverpool wouldn't since there hasn't been a transfer between them since like... never(?), Chelsea aren't shrewd enough to buy someone like him, United had a different player in mind while Arsenal where to busy worrying about Fabregas.

Finally, the man from San Sebastian has made the choice to step it up in his career to be a gunner as happy as I am for gooners, I'm more happy for Mikel as I hoped he would step it up to a big club since he clearly has been a big fish in a small pond. Its to sad injuries had to hinder his progress and take away from much of his time but my personal guarantee is that he WILL be a definitive success at Arsenal.

I Ramsey taking an understudy role with Arteta as Arron has the potential yet needs less exposure and more time to develop under an experienced and skilled maestro like Arteta.

Although Arteta isn't as good as Cesc or his childhood buddy Xabi Alonso, he is very very near as his defensive skills are impressive while his dribbling, close control and shot accuracy is better then both of the above. Did I mention his excellent crossing and killer final ball.



Arsenal have picked up just the player they need as don't let his lack of caps for Espana (think about the reason here) fool you or how the english media mentions Gareth fckin barry over him.
He may be 29 but do understand his reliance is on his technical abilities.

Just the signing Arsenal needs as hopefully this will prevent Arteta for being so overlooked in the footballing world.

Ive said it before, he is the closest thing to Cesc , and being 29, he will not hinder Ramseys growth. Constantly been putting up respectable numbers in that Everton team, expect it to go a notch higher with the arsenal.

To the guy above me, Mireles has only performed for half a season, Arteta has is PL proven for years
