Better than Ozil! Fans rate Aaron Ramsey higher than £42mman

One year ago if you had suggested Aaron Ramsey would finish ahead of Mesut Ozil in any

kind of poll many would have thought you were mad.

Yet here we are, October 2013, and exactly that has happened.

What's more it barely comes as a surprise, which is no slight on Ozil, more a ringing

endorsement of Aaron Ramsey's supreme form.

Ramsey has been named the player of the month by Arsenal's official website - for the third

month in a row.

"The Welsh midfielder has claimed the award for the third time on

the bounce after scoring five

goals in September.

"Ramsey recieved a huge 72.2 per cent of

the vote, with new signings Mesut Ozil

and Mathieu Flamini coming second and

third respectively."

It is not just the fact Ramsey tops the list

which is commendable, but the sheer scale

of his victory as voted for by Arsenal

supporters.

Ozil received 17 per cent of the vote with

Flamini 5.6 per cent.

A deeper look at the statistics shows it

should really be no surprise at Ramsey's

runaway success.

The midfielder has scored as many Premier League goals as Olivier Giroud, and has only one

less assist than Ozil.

He has completed an incredible 434 passes, more than 100 more than any other Arsenal player,

while his 35 tackles are more than twice the number of the nearest second highest Gunner.

It is clearly well deserved and the judgement of Arsenal fans is spot on. We just wonder what

he might be worth now...
