I don't know if Alex Song is on the list but he'd be a more worthy option from the current Goon squad.
I don't really want to rank potential. That would be a very different list. I do think he has shown something. Rightly or wrongly I think he has even proved something.
And that something is something so good that very few players in the world are even capable of it (which is why I make an exception in his case. There will be no one else with so few games on the list) and if it wasn't for the unfortunate coincidence that one of those type of players were at Ramsey's club already, and with that type of player, it can be hard to fit in more than one (ironically the one doing this to Ramsey,
himself is a victim of this sometimes for Spain where he is still behind Xavi), then I think Ramsey would be a star already. Likely much much higher ranked too.
But hopefully he'll have become good enough in other areas so that Wenger can feel confident playing both him and Fabregas. Then we can all have a good look! Like I said in the write up, Wenger did comment recently that it was getting difficult keeping Ramsey out of the lineup.
