Arsenals Aaron Ramsey:

Even Arsenal's harshest critics couldn't deny that Aaron Ramsey has endured a very difficult start to his career in English soccer, and his recent return to form and consistent first team action has very pleasing to see.

Having managed to work his way past the kind of mental barriers that held back former Arsenal striker Eduardo after his return from a horrific leg injury, Ramsey looked all set for while at the start of this season for a career in the limelight as the attacking component of a midfield that appeared well-balanced and lethal when it needed to be.

However, Arsenal fans have been disappointed to see the form of Ramsey drop in recent weeks, with doubts now hanging over his head regarding his ability to replace the gifted Cesc Fabregas in the middle of the park, which has in turn cast a shadow over the team’s standing on the betting line.

Not quite as good as he needs to be:

Although Ramsey can use the ball quite well and possesses a great deal of talent, the real question remains whether or not he has that special touch required to hand Arsenal that killer pass or thundering finish that Fabregas used to provide on a more than regular basis.

Having realised that he is now almost a guaranteed starter for Arsenal, Ramsey will need to sit down and think about the ways in which he can improve short and long-term.

Fail to put serious thought into this issue, though, and the undoubted potential he possesses will perhaps not be allowed too much longer to fully flourish at a club that knows it needs to address its weakness for holding onto players for longer than necessary, or else risk falling even further behind in the gambling online odds.For both Ramsey's and Arsenal’s sake, we can only hope that his rapid improvement starts as quickly as possible.
