Football FanCast columnist Jerome Johnstone looks at the tough decision facing Aaron Ramsey and wonders which club will prove the best move for the Welsh wonderkid.

I wonder how Aaron Ramsey is feeling this morning. 17yrs old, just out of school, and you have three of England's great football clubs after your signature - can life get any better?

There is no doubting this boy has ability and anyone who saw Cardiff's run in the FA Cup can vouch for. He seemingly has no apparent weaknesses and can play a variety of roles within the team; he even filled in at full back at one point. There are a lot of people who will come out and say, "We have been here before", and it is fair to say that history has a list as long as your arm of potential superstars, but it is widely accepted within the game that this kid is on a different level and would hold his own in the Premier League now and with relative ease.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Everton, being the latest, have all had offers accepted by Cardiff City, who are refusing to stand in the player's way of a move. Apparently a move to United would be Ramsey's preferred choice, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be the best move for the player. Arsenal is notorious in blooding their youngsters, while at Everton you feel the player will get a better opportunity to play first team football.

It is quite a dilemma that Aaron Ramsey has, but few would argue a nice one to face. What would be the best move for the Welshman and which club will offer him the best chance of developing?

I agree i think Arsenal will be the best move for him. United have far too many players ahead of him in the pecking order, while I don't see Everton being a good move.

The key to this deal is that we will loan him back to cardiff. Arsenal have proven with Walcott that they don't like to loan out players that have cost them a few bob, so it has to be utd.

Whoever gets him has got a World class player on their hands. The rumours down here is that Tottenham are also in the running and are using Gunter and Bale as a way of attracting him. United will be best for us as we get the player back but IMO it is a toss up between them and Arsenal. Everton havent a chance.

I think everton would be the best move for him. They have a manager with a proven track record of bringing through & developing young british talent. They're a club that give youngsters a chance. At everton if he progresses he could play 30-40 games next season. He would be unlikely to do that in 3 years at Arsenal or United.

Manchester United have the best chance by far of singing him IMO but if he has ambition he will join Everton, he could get a game and also Everton give the youth a go (Wayne Rooney, James Vaughan, Victor Anichibie, Jac Rodwell) etc.
