Arsenal wont miss Aaron Ramsey as much as people think, says Piers Morgan on talkSPORT
Piers Morgan has hit out at those criticising Arsenal for allowing Aaron Ramsey to join Juventus in a free transfer, insisting the Gunners wont miss him as much as people think.Ramsey will end his 11-year stay with the north London club this summer, having agreed to join the Italian champions when his Arsenal contract expires.The move has surprised many, especially given his prominent role in Unai Emerys team, with the club facing criticism for letting another of their top players leave for nothing.1

Rasmey is off to Italy to join Juventus in the summer

The 28-year-old has made 35 appearances for the Gunners this season, scoring four goals and providing eight assists.But Morgan says the anti-Arsenal clamour surrounding Ramseys exit is ridiculous and insists they will not miss the midfielder next season.Aaron Ramsey reminds me of Olivier Giroud – theyre both very good footballers, but honestly we havent missed Giroud at all since he left and I dont think were going to miss Ramsey anything like the way people keep going on about it, he told Friday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.The truth is, Ramsey for the last few years has been a perfectly good player in the team, but under Emery he hasnt started that many games. Recently hes started playing well because hes got his big deal and good luck to him. Hes been a good servant to the team.But Ramsey has been part of the least successful Arsenal team over a decade-long period that weve probably ever had.So lets get things in perspective.We need world class players to come in. I think weve got some in the team.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are beginning to show that theyre pretty formidable as a forward duo, Mesut Ozil is world class when he fancies it but doesnt fancy it enough, and I think were seeing some of the other come through as well.

But honestly, does the future of Arsenal depend on Ramsey? I dont see it.Some Arsenal fans may disagree with me, but I just dont.Morgan and Ramsey have history.The Good Morning Britain presenter has been a vocal critic of the midfielders performances throughout his senior career at the Emirates Stadium, so much so that the Welshman refused to shake Morgans hand after a game back in 2015.And, after Ramsey asked who’s Piers Morgan? in an interview, Morgan began referring to the former Cardiff City man as whatshisname.

Just bumped into Whatshisname. Offered him the hand of peace…but he declined. Fair enough. #afc #emirates— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2015

He said: 'I don't think I want to do that' > RT @GangsterGooner: @piersmorgan did he say anything to you or just completely blank you— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2015

On a positive note, Whatshisname had a good game today. My motivational tweets continue to pay dividends. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 26, 2015
