it's like saying Giroud a better striker than van Persie was

Neither is it on pretty passing which you love.

Give me end product every day of the week.

Anyway back on topic, this Leicester scout. Is he decent or just another Bruce Forsythe type acquisition for our our staff?

Come on man you recently admitted Cazorla is better than Ramsey.

Barkley isn't a terrible player but he's not the player we need. We have a great CAM and Barkley lacks vision and passing to be a CM for us.

just to point out, this bloke was only head of technical scouting recently, his predecessor left to join Spurs, Steve Walsh, not the ex player, our Assistant Manager, Head of Recruitment, is our true chief scout and the key to our system, but good luck to Ben in his new role

This story has been over hyped so much ha. Don't expect him to come in and suddenly change our entire youth philosophy.

It's part of the youth transformation under Jonker. We're finally moving out of the dinosaur ages Brady had us operating under. Glad to see we're introducing some young blood who is up to date with the latest methods,

Cazorla is 10 times the player Ramsey will ever be, except if stamina is all that is needed to make one a good footballer.

On the flank as a winger and not a defensive mid, Cazorla is better
In the CAM role, Cazorla is better
In the CM role (as a double pivot), Cazorla has shown to be better
If ball control and first touch matter, Cazorla is better
If scoring from deadball counts, Cazorla is better
If whipping in deadballs count, Cazorla is better
If making incisive throughball passes count, Cazorla is better

...but if running after lost balls because of unnecessary flicks or ball hogging, or jog- strolling to add tour km coverage is all that counts, then Ramsey is better.

Anyways, back to the topic, like someone mentioned earlier, the scout identifying the player is just one step, the player being able to fit into our system is another, Wenger using said player rightly is another step. We could have bought Riyahd and Kante and but still insist on Walcott or Ox, or Arteta. It is this Arsenal's way. Scout effort equals to almost zero, except there is an injury.

You are probably looking for stats and i don't have that but I will lean more towards Ramsey.

Santi's highest goal scoring season for us in EPL was 2012/13 with 12 goals. While Ramsey's is 10 in 2013/14.
