Man United agree Ramsey fee with Cardiff
by jakepjohnson on June 3rd, 2008Champions League and Premier League winners Manchester United have agreed a fee, thought to be between £5m to £6m, with FA Cup finalists Cardiff City for their 17-year-old teen sensation Aaron Ramsey.
Midfielder Ramsey, seen as a new Ryan Giggs, has been under the spotlight with the Bluebirds with their two appearances at Wembley. He was subject of interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and the boarding school that is Spurs, despite only 22 games and 2 goals for Cardiff.
A statement on manutd.com said:
Manchester United is delighted to announce it has agreed terms with Cardiff City for the transfer of Aaron Ramsey subject to terms being agreed and the player passing a medical.
I believe its a good move for United and Ramsey. His development will grow at United and it is great to see Fergie investing in young British talent. Its just a good job he isn’t English or he would have cost £10m+.
There is talk of him being loaned back to Ninian Park for the 2008/09 season, surely a good move for all three parties, what with the successes of Ben Foster at Watford and Fraizer Campbell at Hull.
Maybe Joe Ledley is next on the shopping list?

no thats what you would do.
and then try and buy flops to replace him.
United are going to loan him back to Cardiff next season so he can develop further.
The same way Ben Foster and Frazier Campbell has developed.
If Ben Foster was fit, he’d be challenging for the #1 jersey with Van Der Sar

The best thing he can do is sign for United. Under Sir Alex, they have a proven track record that is second to none when it comes to nurturing young players into first class professionals and he’ll be allowed to express himself in the countries most free flowing football team.
The worst thing he can do is sign for Arsenal.

Ha ha ha - imagine if he signed for Everton - what a joke that would be.
Who does the kid support? That’s who he should sign for.

Hardly!! Given Benitez’s track record, he’ll probably be shipped out to Villa for 2 years then they’ll slap a £15M asking price on him.

Way to report wrong news.
Arsenal and Man Utd have agreed fees with Cardiff.
Agreeing the fee is the easy part anyone can throw an offer at a club, negotiating with the player is the difficult part.

Altohugh have to say i think he will go Manc’s.
