RAMSEY 'AFFECTED' BY OZIL WAGE
28/09/18
Earning less than Mesut Ozil has played a part in Aaron Ramsey's Arsenal contract talks breaking down, Andy Townsend told The Debate.
"It's a factor," he said. "They're all big boys, and know certain players will get a lot more than others.
"That's the same at any club, but when you're in virtually the same position on the pitch, he's probably thinking that if they're paying Ozil that amount, he will never be in a stronger position than he is now in terms of age, experience and everything else, and sometimes you have to stand firm.
"He's as productive as Ozil, I think, and if I was Ramsey right now and I was getting offered a third he's getting, I wouldn't take it either."
