Ramsey injury delay worries Wenger but do Arsenal NEED him?

If Arsenal were to have a fully fit Aaron Ramsey, the question for me is would he even be a regular starter for the first team? If it was the central midfielder we saw giving his all and playing very well for his country Wales at Euro 2016 and earning himself a place in the team of the tournament then the answer would probably be yes.

And also if it was the goal scoring Rambo that found his shooting boots in the 2013-14 season, hitting the back of the net 16 times and firing the Gunners to the top of the table and leading a Premier League title challenge that looked like it would be successful until he picked up an injury on Boxing Day that ruled him out for most of the rest of the season.

Perhaps it is that Ramse4y that Arsene Wenger is thinking of as Metro reports the boss is very concerned about the continuing delay to the 25-year old’s return from his latest injury problem. The problem for me is that we rarely see that Ramsey in an Arsenal shirt and now we have Granit Xhaka and Santi Cazorla who I would pick before the Welshman.

You want two good players in every position and Arsenal appear to have two very good ones in that box-to-box role, so is it really such a worry that Ramsey is taking a long time to recover?
