Former Gunner Martin Keown is livid at the club on their stance on Aaron Ramsey. The midfielder is more or less a Juventus player and will complete his switch in the summer on a free.
Ramsey starred in Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Chelsea and did an excellent job in marking out Jorginho, reducing the Italian to only a couple of touches.
Keown cannot understand the decision to let Ramsey go and says he’s sickened by it/
“It’s the saddest thing of all really, how well he executed the plan today but in possession and out of possession,” the former defender told BT Sport.
“He’s obviously doing that to such an extent that [Mesut] Ozil can’t get near the team.
“But Ramsey’s not going to be part of their future and I find that sad.

“I find it a little bit sickening that he’s going to be leaving, they’re trying to make progress and one player who was singly so important won’t be a part of Arsenal’s future.”
The former defender said he doesn’t get why the club haven’t fought harder to keep the Welshman, saying that Juventus’ gain will be a big loss to Arsenal.
“It’s madness and he’s going to Turin and Italy next season,” Keown added.
“It’s not as if he’s going to some Mickey Mouse team, he’s going to one of the best teams in Europe.
“Arsenal have lost him and I don’t know who’s making those decisions.”
The win against Chelsea cuts the gap to a top-four finish to just 3 points and Arsenal now have a lot more confidence going into the game against Manchester United in the FA cup.
They also face Manchester City in the league the week after and will hope to get some revenge after the Citizens defeated them 2-0 on the first day of the season.
