Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Totally agree. Saw this earlier and thought it was a ridiculous choice, too much weight on the young guys shoulders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,710 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Pathetic really. Same philosophy as Scotland, choose the guy who plays for the most well known team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SandyWATP Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Don't see anything wrong with it.He clearly thinks he can take responsibility and handle the pressure, after all - he has the choice to turn it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Not ridiculous at all imo. Hes already better than anyone in the wales squad. He has that air of a captain about him and the way he has come back from his injury hes back playing in Arsenals team like he was never away. The manager will alreadybe saying to him theres no pressure its a friendly. Hes just giving him the experience for when it does count. Throwing him in at the deep end isnt always going to be a bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillete 1,338 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 You would think guys like Collins , Ashley Williams ( Swansea captain ) or even Ledley would be asked as they are far more experiencedIt's like us making wylde Scotland captainMaybe not that drastic but you get my drift Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott-RFC 308 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Always thought he was a better prospect than Wilshere, although its a lot of pressure at 20. What if they are 3-0 down after half an hour? Dont want that on a 20 year old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 666 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 to be fair hes probably the most mature and best footballer out of them! cant see him as a motivator though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilstonloyal 186 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 a bit too much giving him the captain's armband but its speed that seen him in training and thought he was up to it the most Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Their manager got the job despite losing something like 70% of his matches as a club manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Good appointment IMO.Aaron Ramsay is going to be the mainstay in the Wales midfield for years to come, and giving it to him is a long term thing and will settle the side. Definitely something England should be looking at. Giving it to someone who is going to be in the side for years to come would give the side a settled look and stop all nonsence that's been hanging around the captaincy for a while now.

Amac9 2,060 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Decent player who has showed flashes of quality now and again.If I was an Arsenal fan I would be happy knowing that they have Wilshere and Ramsay as the future midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Ramsey just has the air of a captain about him if you get my drift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
