I quite like the image of Ramires on the side of midfield. He certainly has the pace. AFAIR Brazil played him on the right in the WC didn't they? His crossing hasn't been on view much, but then we're not known for having classical wingers anyway, inspite of the best targetman in the world upfront.
Name one season he didn't spend 3 or 4 months of on the injury table. I'm aware Liverpool's lack of other striking options had a part in him being played on half fitness at times, but the situation isn't much better here. The boy simply can't take the physical challenges of this league. And if continues to be here, he'd be done by 31-32.
I understand what you're saying but IMO he's not good enough to start games for us right now. It's a shame we've such a small squad because otherwise he wouldn't playing.
