Dave Baldwin, the agent to Aaron Ramsey has hit out at an article claiming that his loan move to Ibrox smacks of desperation.
Two weeks on from his loan move to Ibrox the midfielder has racked up 30 minutes of Premiership action and starred under the floodlights of Galabank in the Scottish Cup.
With fitness clearly an issue he flew to Cardiff with his wife for a Valentine Lunch three days ahead of facing Borussia Dortmind in the Europa League.
Over the next nine days Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side face two testing matches against Dortmund, either side of visiting Dundee United on SPFL business.
What a stupid article, total lack of understanding on the business of football and written in a disrespectful manner to a top player. Rag journalism. https://t.co/kTLwUdJIaX

On the PLZ website, Alison McConnell shared her thoughts on the ‘stunning’ Deadline Day deal:
Aaron Ramsey managed to clock up some game time this weekend as Rangers comfortably saw off Annan to progress in the Scottish Cup.
Ramsey arrived to much fanfare with his arrival on the final day of deadline day a throwback to windows of old as crowds gathered outside Ibrox to catch a glimpse.
At 31 and with a catalogue of injuries behind him, Ramsey will feel delighted that he managed to get his boots on to remind himself just what that feels like; since last September, his only contribution in Juventus colours was six minutes in a European game against Zenit.
Time will tell whether or not it was an inspired move to bring in the Welsh internationalist but there is a suspicion that it smacked of a desperate last throw of the dice as the hours of the window ticked away.
Celtic once unveiled Robbie Keane to similar excitement among the club’s fanbase but the failed to lead them to a title that season.
Whatever Ramsey is, it is a gamble. It may yet land in Rangers’ favour.
But it points to a lack of a defined strategy in terms of building a successful business model that creates a conveyor belt of players capable of making first-team impacts while banking money for the club along the way.
It would take a fair bit of digging to discover an article tucked away on the PLZ website. Despite having a client that is among the highest paid footballers in the world it seems that Baldwin is very sensitive to criticism of his top earner.
The sensitivity definitely exhibits itself here. I can see nothing disrespectful in that article at all.
Just a desperate signing to keep the muppets happy.
A journalist being criticised for telling the negative truth about something hun-related? Quelle surprise!
Keep it up, you’ll go far…in the general direction of the buroo.
“…total lack of understanding on the business of football and written in a disrespectful manner to a top player. Rag journalism.”
You’ve clearly never done business in Scotland before, have you Mr. Baldwin…?
Looks like a fair reflection of the situation to me. Only time will tell.
