He would have made a difference on that pitch today. His injury was ill-timed, much like Bale’s back in 2017.
All the talk after Croatia of him not getting back into the team was childish.

Starts 15 games, retires end of the season, that's what I said to my mate the second he was announced and the more I think about it the more realistic it sounds. I think this is his last throw of the dice to fall and stay in love with football but I don't know if his body can take it. Injuries, inactivity and probably some mental health issues have really taken their toll on Ramsey, such a shame. I can't say I'm surprised but this looks more likely by the day. 6 appearances for Cardiff this season, hasn't played in 3 months. Injured more than he hasn't been, a real shame.

What makes you say he'll retire though? Not a criticism, just curious as he hadn't hinted at it anywhere I've seen. Seems more determined than ever to be involved (or as determined as ever).

I think if we don't qualify for the Euros the question is will he want to carry on until he's 35 to make the WC in 2026? I can't see him carrying on for another 3 seasons, although time will tell

I just hope that our Aaron had a wonderful 33rd birthday last week and that he is getting himself fit and raring to go in the new year ;-)

I said "I can't see him carrying on for another 3 seasons" You seemed to be correcting me by saying 2 seasons rather than 3, and I said I'm including the remainder of 23/24, and then 24/25 + 25/26 when I'm talking about whether or not he will make the 2026 World Cup

Aaron was back training on grass on Friday!
Optimistic about being back for Valentine's Day.
Who needs chocolates when you can take your bestie to see West Brom away ;-)

Cardiff have plenty of options in his position with Turnbull & Colwill so hopefully Rambo isn't overworked when he comes back!

Post by underwood on Feb 4, 2024 15:42:17 GMT
If he stays fit he plays 4 games in 5 & comes off after 70 minutes in all of them. That’s the best we can hope for with Rambo now.

An early Valentine's present. Rambo is Back. On at start of 2nd half while bluebirds are 0-2 at home...

Had another 30' cameo last night. Seems to have bulked up a fair bit - hope its resistance training and not hob nobs ;-) Actually improved the team dramatically and pinged a few superb passes / crosses. Would like to see him start and get 60' on Saturday v Norwich

Injury set back for Ramsey, no details at the moment 6 starts and 2 sub appearances from 32 Championship matches, this has sadly been a disaster.

Confirmed now that he won't make the playoffs. Just the 8 league appearances for Cardiff this season

Is it time to retire? From internationals if nothing else?

Bloke is crocked unfortunately. Fantastic career and servant but if ever involved with us just reduce to impact player off the bench

Think he might be finished unfortunately. Hope we see him again in some capacity but hard to see that happening now

I know it's a terrible thing to say but I'm almost glad he's not available for the playoffs. If he was half fit Page would be tempted to play him, so this eliminates that conundrum.
Hope he gets back to full fitness, but when was the last time that happened?

Yes we have a small pool of players and the guy has been amazing in the past for us, but it would be like when England took Jack Wilshere to Euro 2016 despite only making 3 PL appearances all season.

Coming to the end of his time I'm afraid. Shame he got injured again so soon into the Cardiff season, and in reality for a large part, since that horrendous tackle at Stoke he's been injured with one thing or another.

I get all of these comments, and Ramsey will obviously be extremely frustrated so probably is tempted to pack it in. That said he’s shown when he is fit that he can still be a top player in the championship. He also showed last season that he can keep himself fit for extensive periods (think he played 30+ games last season). He obviously can’t be completely relied upon anymore at club or international level, but as long as he’s seen and treated as a bit of a bonus - someone who can come in for a spell of games like he did at the start of the season to provide that extra quality - but with others alongside him who are more reliable, then he still has a role to play. It’s up to him I suspect

It's been a difficult season for him so far but we should probably remember how important him staying on with Wales was after few key players retired and how for Cardiff it was probably the most exciting thing to happen since the league cup final against Liverpool.
