Owen Hargreaves on Aaron Ramsey leaving Arsenal
He has started the last three matches and scored and captained the side in the 2-0 win over Newcastle on Monday.
Hargreaves cannot understand why Arsenal allowed another of their star players to get into the last year of their contract.

“The thing is, what would he cost you in the current market to replace?” Hargreaves told Premier League Productions.
