Aaron Ramsey

“As a midfielder, you have to have vision. If you see an opening that might create an opportunity, you have to believe in yourself and go for it; a 40-yard pass or an eye-of-the-needle ball. You have to feel you are going to make it. That's the way I play. I have a picture in my mind, and I go for it.”

“Central midfield has been my main position, but I'll play wherever the gaffer wants me.”

“I much prefer playing in the centre of the park; that's where I feel comfortable.”

“All I want to do is improve as a player.”

“There's always pressure on Arsenal to go out and win games and win trophies.”

“As a kid, I was always pretending to score the goal in the FA Cup final, and I managed to live my dream.”

“It's a massive difference when you play in front of full stadiums; you can sense the buzz around the players, and it helps us get that extra one or two per cent that may be the difference in games.”

“Ever since I was a boy, I have wanted to be a professional footballer and to captain my country one day.”

“In all ways, I want to be better in all of these things that top midfielders can do.”

“When Bale first started at Tottenham, they were struggling to win whenever he played at left-back, but it is unbelievable how quickly things can change in football.”

“The Premier League used to be two teams going for the title, but it has come on a long way since then.”

“At the beginning of the season, you're still getting your fitness levels up, and those first few games are quite tough.”

“Arsene Wenger gives youngsters opportunities, and if he thinks that you're good enough, he'll play you.”

“Nothing's in my head when I'm out there; I'm just trying to have fun on the football pitch.”

“The main factor in joining Arsenal was meeting with Arsene Wenger and to hear what his plans were for me.”

“I'm an Arsenal player, and I want to remain an Arsenal player.”

“I watch a lot of golf, but I'm only a fair-weather player.”

“The worst position you are in is when you are on the medical bed, and you can't get out on that training pitch.”

“Arsenal have a history of bringing through youngsters, giving them opportunities, and turning them into world-class players.”

“On away trips, I'll listen to my iPod sometimes or watch some TV, see what's on of a Friday or Saturday night - I'll usually save the TV box sets until I'm at home with the wife.”
