Can Jones keep hold of Ramsey

Cardiff City boss Dave Jones is still hoping to do a deal with Arsenal and keep Aaron Ramsey a while longer. Ramsey is due back with Arsenal after the Hull City game is boss at Arsenal Arsene Wenger said in the press a few days ago that he wanted is player back.

His (Jones’) ‘cunning plan’ is to see if they will go with a new deal where they could call Ramsey back with 24-hour call-back basis. The Gunners picked up a number of injuries in mid-weeks game against Stoke so it keep be a non-starter him staying on another short loan deal. If Wenger is planning just to call him back to occupy the bench surely it would be better for him to play regular first team football.

Wenger is reported to want his star midfielder Ramsey to be in his squad for the Arsenal’s FA Cup fifth round replay against Leyton Orient on Tuesday. However, he can’t play in the return tie because he was unavailable for the initial tie. It is bound to frustrate the arsenal boss

Cardiff boss Jones said:
"We're trying to work with Arsenal to see whether we can have him a little bit longer, maybe on a 24-hour call-back."
"We've put our case and I'm sure they'll put theirs.
"But he is an Arsenal player and we knew the situation and they've picked up a couple of injuries so whether that affects the decision or not, we'll wait and see.
"If he's going to go back and just sit on the bench then that's no good for him so I'm sure we'll try and come up with a solution.
"But that will be Arsenal's decision and whatever they decide will be fine with ourselves."
