Arsenal hero: “Emery to blame for Ramsey departure”

Arsenal’s decision to allow Aaron Ramsey to leave on a free transfer was Unai Emery’s decision, according to former Gunners midfielder Perry Groves. The former Gunners midfielder told LeoVegas: "I can't believe Arsenal have let themselves get into this position over contracts with Ramsey, [Mesut] Ozil and [Alexis] Sanchez. "It doesn't make business or footballing sense to let your best players get into the last season of their contracts. "Aaron Ramsey would be a £35-40million player if he was under contract, but we're letting him leave for free. "I think it was entirely Unai Emery's decision to withdraw the contract offer so he is clearly comfortable letting Ramsey leave. "I'm a big fan of Aaron Ramsey. I think he's a brilliant example of a modern-day footballer. "His attitude has always been spot-on. He's very low maintenance off the pitch. He does get the goals. "I'm sad to see him go but Emery probably thinks that he can get someone else to play in the No. 10 role on less money than what Ramsey was looking for."
