Welsh Player News 15th October 2010 (Premier League)

Aaron Ramsey is thrilled to be back in training for Arsenal.


James Collins hopes that Villa’s result against Chelsea will be the same as the one they got a year ago today.

Simon Davies has enjoyed his rest over the international break and he’s looking forward to giving Tottenham Hotspur a tough time when they visit Fulham. But my dreams of a return to Wales for Simon look set to remain dreams.

Gareth Bale agrees that Fulham v Tottenham won’t be an easy game.

Danny Collins is enjoying playing at left back for Stoke City and Wales because he’s got Matthew Etherington and Gareth Bale in front of him. Presumably it is their skills he admires rather than their bottoms. Not that there’s anything wrong with their bottoms.

Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United can win trophies this season. Unfortunately, he’s probably right.

Find out the secrets to Ryan Giggs’ success. Retiring from playing for Wales isn’t one of them.

Ryan wants to become a manager eventually – but his younger brother Rhodri Giggs has got there first. He is now player-manager at Salford City.

Is Ryan the best Welsh footballer of all time?

But Ryan wasn’t always a good boy…

Owen Hargreaves says his next comeback will be his last. If it doesn’t work out this time, he’s retiring.

Danny Murphy has come out in support of Arsene Wenger’s claim that certain Premier League teams are told to kick the best players instead of playing football aganst them. But Ryan Shawcross thinks they’re both wrong. Nottingham Forest striker Robert Earnshaw is also far from impressed.

Stoke City say no way is Ryan Shawcross going to Juventus.

Gareth Bale and Nottingham Forest's Chris Gunter have been helping children with their reading. So there’s two footballers who can read.

Danny Gabbidon is impressed with new West Ham United team-mate Victor Obinna.

Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, and Newcastle United would all be interested in signing David Jones if he fails to agree a new contract with Wolverhanpton Wanderers.

But for now David seems very happy with Wolves and he’s looking forward to the next few games, as the suspension of captain Karl Henry means he’s almost certain to play.
