I maintain Ramsey didn’t want to leave.
Whether he wanted to leave or not is immaterial if he wouldn't sign the contracts we were offering him. As I said a few days ago, he's not in the wrong for holding out for what he knew he could get elsewhere but we're also not in the wrong for deciding what our limit was and sticking to it and then letting hi leave on our terms for a fee we're happy with when talks broke down.
100% this. There literally was a contract on the table and had been for months, according to reports, and he did not sign it. That is completely within his rights, and I applaud him for holding out for a contract that came close to what he believed he is worth, but I do not blame the club for sticking to their guns as well. Blame the system.
