Best CM Pairing?

Would love to see a pivot of Ramires - Oscar. Can see Oscar playing the Modric role at Madrid, can put in a good challenge and counter attack quickly.

Ramires doesn't have much besides pace.

Yes, you've already said that. And for me, that's just not true. Besides pace he obviously has stamina. And imo, he's the best finisher in our squad.

Not to forget his covering for full-backs.

I don't care who pairs Oscar. Just make sure he plays there starting at Everton.

Engine, pace, tackling, workrate, passing, movement, intelligence etc he has it all.

I wouldn't say he's the best finisher (Lampard and Mata are able to score great goals with fairly high shooting percentages. Ramires is more limited in his range.) but I think that he has a generally underrated skill. He doesn't take a lot of bad shots. The vast majority of the shots he takes are from areas where he should be shooting so he is an efficient shooter who doesn't waste a lot of shots. That's Ramires' positive qualities for me-the ability to contribute massively without being the focal point of anything and without trying to extend himself too much beyond his skill set.

Is he the same mould of modric?

Cant believe that we did not sign a top midfielder again in this window.

His shooting for range is just woeful. But his finishing from inside the box is unmatched by anyone in our squad, especially not at top speed like Ramires does. Goals against City, Barca, Liverpool, Wigan, Tottenham, Madrid,,etc and those are just off the top of my head; no one in our squad is capable of those finishes, imo.

I would love to see an Oscar - Ramires partnership, don't know if Mourinho is thinking the same though.

are you serious with your final statement???

I think his finishing is hit or miss - and my lord, when he misses, he misses it weeeeeeeeelllllllllll by far

I would say he has FAR more composure when it comes to taking chances when compared to say, someone like Mata which allows him to shoot without hesitating. This makes him very adept at striking whilst moving at great speed. As far as quality of the finish itself goes, all I can say is he can do a great chip shot, but that's about it.
