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."

Ramsey back to the Emirates

Forget an extension of his loan deal Aaron Ramsey will be heading back to Arsenal after the Hull City game Saturday. Reports in the press and internet have Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirming he wants the young midfielder back.

With a fixture pile-up and injuries it always looked likely a return to the Emirates Stadium was on the cards. The highly rated midfielder could be in line for FA Cup action next week in the fifth round replay against Orient. Wenger is happy with his progress while with the Bluebirds. Arsenal are still the chase for four pieces of silverware, The Premier League they are chasing down top of the table Manchester United and there is the Champions League and a Carling Cup Final.Wenger said,

“He is on loan until Saturday.

“After that, he comes back. He could be available for the FA Cup replay against Leyton Orient next Wednesday.

“Yes, I intend to use him. I have had good reports from Cardiff. He could not play on Saturday because he had a little hip problem and we demanded he rest.

“I think he will play this Saturday again and then we will see if he comes through that game well. After that he is available for Arsenal.”

Cardiff fans will be disappointing but that what happens in the loan market a month is nothing in football. There is little Cardiff City boss Dave Jones could do but give Wenger a call to confirm what the press are reporting is true.

Will Ramsey and Chopra be fit?

Will he or won’t he is the big question surrounding striker Michael Chopra, be fit enough for the top of the table clash with Leicester City. Yesterday the rumour was it would be touch and go if he would be fit, today the player himself is telling the local press he his will to play the rest of the season with his ankle injury if he has to.

It will be down to Bluebirds boss Dave Jones if he is will to risk playing Chopra carry a injury or play it safe and keep him on the sideline until he is 100% fit. Could he last out the season ? There are still 14 game to play and there is the play-offs depending how the season ends.

Loanee Aaron Ramsey is expected to undertake a late fitness test on his thigh injury and is expected to pass and play tonight. Saturday and the trip to Hull City will single the end of his loan period unless Cardiff City boss Dave Jones can get an extension.

The Arsenal boss said at the start of the loan he wanted him back after the one month deal. Expecting him to be ready to push for his place back in his squad. Ramsey himself said he was looking forward to going back to Araenal and was ready to fight for his place.

It would be handy to be at full strength Cardiff need to get back to winning ways but the fixtures have not been kind to the Bluebirds over the last week or so.

Ramsey to stay? waiting on Arsene

Well that not a surprised if it turns out to be true, Cardiff City boss Dave Jones wants to keep Aaron Ramsey and extend his one-month loan deal. According BBC Sports website is reporting that Jones will talk with the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to see if a deal could be done.

The ex-City player has been a hit since his return to Cardiff but is due to return to Arsenal after next Saturday’s game at Hull City. Wenger is on record has saying he wants Ramsey back in his squad before the end of the season. It would be beneficial for him to stay at the moment, if he was to turn to Arsenal it would be more than likely he would be fighting to get on the bench.

Cardiff City manager Dave Jones on Ramsey said:

"I don't think he's at the fitness levels to go back to Arsenal yet, then I'm going to say that because we want to keep him.

"He's enjoying himself here. He's with us for some more games and we will see where we go from there.

"Aaron's doing well. It will be down to Aaron and Arsenal themselves to see what they think and where he's at. But if we can keep him then fantastic."

He could miss the Nottingham Forest game tomorrow with rumours he is carrying an injury after the mid-week Burnley game. Boss Dave Jones will give the player a late fitness test to see it he will be fit to play. Before joining the Bluebirds on loan he also spent time with Forest on the road to fitness.
