When things didn't go the way he wanted in season 2014/15, somehow, he fought all his way back into Wenger's first-team sheet and recently been recognised as 'the best midfielder in the Premier League' by Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Despite his recent good forms, Arsene Wenger would not be any happier as this prompst the 'Spanish Giants' Barcelona to put a keen interest on him by stating that they would be willing to splash out a 50 million pound for him. Wenger, however, is not nerve by the possibility of Ramsey's departure, with the signing of Mohamed Elneny is almost in his grips and Mesut Özil in his peak form, it is safe to say that Ramsey's departure would not make a difference. To add more possibility to this, if Wenger is to accept Ramsey for 50 million. Wenger could fully utilize his 50 million by bringing in Granit Xhaka and Adrien Rabiot, and it's like a deal of killing two birds with one stone. So, it's very likely that Wenger would not let go of this opportunity.
Put aside all the speculations on the departure of Aaron Ramsey, if Ramsey is to leave North London for 'Blaugrana', this would be no doubt that Arsenal fans will certainly miss this Welshman.
1)Ramsey's broken leg
Back in 27 Feb 2010, in a match where Arsenal play against Stoke City, Ramsey has broken his lower right leg after involved in a collision with Stoke city player Ryan Shawcross. This was one of the major setbacks for Aaron Ramsey in his entire carreer, but just wasn't enough to end his football carreer as he always seems determined to play. This incident, however, has soon become a nightmare for him where he made it clear he didn't want to talk to Ryan again. And after went through all the surgical procedures, Arsenal manager was surprised or perhaps a bit of relieve to heard that this incident could have cost Ramsey's carreer but didn't.
2) Right man for the right moment
Aarom Ramsey, the 'man of the season' for season 2013/14, has always stood up to the occasion while Arsenal in need of a man like him. His contribution to the team might not as obvious as the stats showed by Mesut Özil. He, however, had his own ways of showing it.
Arsenal v Hull City (2013/14 FA cup finale)
After 9 years of trophyless drought, Arsenal fans made it clear that they wanted Arsene Wenger to bring them a trophy to the Emirates. Even before this match, when Arsenal has beaten West Brom in a tough Semi-final into the Final. Most fans already showed their relieve upon knowing that they are going to face Hull in the final, for them, it was like a match of Buff guy versus thin guy. Frankly, in the final, Arsenal fans could have seen Wenger to hung himself when the 'Tiger' was already leading two goals before 30 minute. With a combination of team effort and courtesy from Santi Cazorla's free kick goal, Arsenal somehow made it to 2-2 with Hull in the 90 minute where both sides were forced to go into extra time.

What happens after it was everyone goes nut.
Arsenal v AS Monaco (2014/15 UEFA CL round of 16)
This was a season of ups and downs for the Welshman as he found himself goalless infront of goal most of the time. Despite his poor performances in some matches, no team in the world can prevent Ramsey from providing 'aura' to his team-mates. In this season, when Arsenal went through the group stages into the knock-out stage of 16, they were the sides to feel relieve when they've been drawn to face AS Monaco. This was when where Arsenal thought they would easily conquer them and so lowered their defences, but nothing comes easy for Arsenal. In the first round at home, Arsenal found themselves 3-1 down to Monaco, in which they needed a 3-0 away win at Monaco's turf in order to go into the quarter-final. Although the final result proved to be insufficient for Arsenal to go through, but this was no doubt that the other Arsenal team-mates should have provided more after Ramsey brought them up to 2-0 at 70 minute in the away game.
Arsenal v Borussia Dortmunt (2013/14 UEFA CL group stage)
Back to those days when Jurgen Klopp was in charge of Dortmunt, Borussia Dortmunt was one of the most feared opponents domestically and internationally in the Europe arena. For some years Arsenal have been encountering with the Germans, and Arsenal were always the losing side. But this time, however, was different when Aaron Ramsey was in the form of his lifetime. In match where both sides were in a 0-0 situation, Aaron was the one to headed in the winning goal for Arsenal.
3)Freak goals
If you are currently watching Cristiano Ronaldo scoring rocket shots, or Messi scoring stunning free-kicks, and then you think that there are no any other goal in the world could be any better than them. Then, you are probably wrong, not until you have watch how Aaron Ramsey scored these freak goals that could be candidate for the best goal of the season.
Ramsey v Liverpool (Premier League 2013/14)

Ramsey v Galatasaray (UEFA group stage 2014/15)
This was a match where Arsenal were slaughtering it's opponent to a 4-1 win, and there was no doubt that Ramsey took a part in it. To brighten the mood of fans, Ramsey awarded his fans a goal that could be the best goal of his entire carrer.
Ramsey v England (U21)
When he had his chance to impress his fellow Wales fans, he sure won't dissapoint them, a long shot... again...but with his left foot.
4) He married his childhood sweetheart
Getting married perhaps is one of the most happiest moments for a man, but getting married after being crowned as 'player of the season' for Arsenal is an experience only Ramsey himself can tell.
A story he can tell his son when he's grown up.
5)He's energetic!
He had the lung of an animal, you see him everywhere, infront and in the back. He is dangerous, he knows how to get inside the box while directing his team-mates to pass the ball to him. When he's around, the opposition had to work harder than they usually do if they want to score, because he always retreat to help his defending team-mates. So, he is the no.1 runner for Arsenal.

3)Freak goals
- There are some people known for their shot power and the ability to curl the ball.
In this case, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonel Messi are the best example:
