10 Weirdest Football Transfers That Happened This Summer

10. Aaron Ramsey To Juventus (FREE)

So we start with a transfer that is perplexing for a number of reasons. First of all, Aaron Ramsey had been at Arsenal for 11 years. 11, bloody years! To put that into context for you Manchester United had just won the Premier League and Champions League and Cristiano Ronaldo was on the cusp of his FIRST Ballon D’Or. Hell, Portsmouth were in the Uefa CUP!!

So why Arsenal, who are hardly drowning in experienced quality and important voices in their dressing room, would let go of such a player for FREE, is down right lunacy.

Secondly, Ramsey will be the third Welshman to suit up in the suave Black and White (After, Ian Rush and John Charles, respectively) which suggests a peculiar love affair between the Old Lady and the Valleys. Perhaps that musical accent goes hand in hand with the expressive language we all associate with passion and the class of Turin? Who wouldn’t pay to watch Ramsey navigate his way through a press conference in Italian?

Arsenal did offer Ramsey a contract back in September 2018 but he turned it down and the club weren’t prepared to meet his demands, which is further evidence of the absolute state the club has got them in since the Ozil contract pollava of last season. If you can’t keep your top players happy, they will bugger off to play with CR7 and Sarri.
