Nicely summed up on Reddit: Ramsey is decent for 30 mins, becomes his usual awful self for the next 3-4 games, gets injured, returns, rinse, repeat.
So, like at Arsenal.

Exactly - his career with us was dreadful, with a few highlights.
He had 18 months where he showed he really could be a world-class player, but a combination of injuries and a poor attitude on the pitch held him back. Was often disappointed at his over complicated approach to the game - e.g. the hollywood pass when a more simple pass was a better option - and his varying levels of effort in chasing back. Some days a workaholic, other days, not at all.
Can't take away those 18 months though - he was superb in that period and he showed up big time in a couple of FA Cup finals.

It's also why Henry isn't the outright 3rd or 4th greatest player of the past 30 years. If Henry had scored and we'd have won the UCL in 2006, he would probably be placed 3rd behind Messi and Ronaldo as outright GOATs.

Can you imagine if Henry had scored in the CL final and won and also scored in the WC final and won that too, both in the same year?
Damn.
He would probably hold the status R9 currently does and be the consensus greatest striker ever.

Juventus' 30-year-old Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey could return to Arsenal who are struggling to attract elite talent and may turn to their former player. (Eurosport)
