Living rent free is a term recently coined.

It's a no for me on Ramsey.

We have to stay well clear from players who may either see Villa as a step-down or their last paycheque. Paying stupid amounts for players in their twilight years has been very much part of our downfall over the years. The likes of Lescott, Richards, Ireland and Pires, to name but a few.
When such names as Ramsey or Lingard are mentioned I put those players in the same bracket of the above and would probably show a lack of motivation too, yet still command a big salary.

The club has a plan and i don't believe that plan has changed, I would be suprised if we bought anyone for decent money over twenty six years old.

I believe he was attempting to reference the popular Gen Z rebuttal: "X is 'living rent free' in Y's head"

Ramsey is a no because he’s on huge wages at Juve but he is not in the lescott et al bracket yet. He’s not even 30, is at Juve and not because he’s rubbish and over the hill - remember he was playing every match for Arsenal before he left so it’s not as if they wanted to let him go they just “did an Arsenal”.

Has Aaron not featured much for Juve? He spoke a few words of Italian at his press conference when he joined, they all melted at his cute efforts. He could have had all the Turin honey that he wanted.

They've basically stocked up on free midfielders and can't really use them all so they all get to play a bit.

He's basically getting 60 minutes or 30 minutes in most matches.

According to our friends in the Meaning Evil based on nothing more than some bets being placed and Leicester having far more to offer than us, we could be about to lose Watkins to them.

Of all the players seriously linked with us so far, Watkins is the one I'm least concerned about.
