#2 The Aaron Ramsey contract situation
Aaron Ramsey, who recently confirmed that he was moving to Juventus next summer when his contract with Arsenal runs out, was tipped to become the new Arsenal captain and sign a new long-term deal with the club when Emery's appointment was confirmed. He was Emery's type of player- very versatile, technically sound, high offensive and defensive work rate, tracking back and always trying to create something.
He originally started playing as the No.10, just behind Lacazette or Aubameyang, or both. As the games passed by, Emery grew less and less convinced that Ramsey would fit into his plans. It was widely reported that Arsenal backed out of talks about a new contract, even though Ramsey was willing to stay at the Emirates.
As a result, Arsenal had a player leaving for free at the end of the season, and while it didn't affect Ramsey's performances, because of his professionalism, it would have affected the morale in the dressing room. It also affects a manager, when you know that one of your key players won't continue next season, you would want other players to play in his place, and adapt to your philosophy.
