I'd prefer we get him over Messi tbh

Agreed, getting him, Reus, and Khedira would be a much better upgrade on the team than Messi - Cesc is more than excellent at the #10 role, it's one of 3 roles we actually don't need to improve on.

Ramires is better than khedira....

Thought I was the only one lol.

It's probably the real madrid factor.

You know Ramires is the better player when both Jose and Ancelotti want him over Khedira.

Khedira on his day is quite great too. Better than Ramires. Dont forget Khedira was playing under Mou in winning season and also in germany WC team.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Not fond of Ramires at all...

Ramires brings more bang for buck. Not on crazy wages and doesn't sulk if he's not playing... perfect squad player.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

How anyone can not like Ramires is beyond me! He's a squad player who can cover a variety of positions and scores goals. He is precisely what you want in a player who is coming off the bench and getting the odd start.

I think there might be need to get another CM next to Matic, not just a bench player. While I would prefer someone else over Khedira, he is cheapest option and knows Mou well.

We're not the type of club that acquire players because they are the cheapest option, if Khedira can't improve our team significantly(and I'm of the lot who think he won't) then there is no point in acquiring him. Pogba makes sense and the price shouldn't matter, the cheap alternatives don't win you games.

Seriously can't see anything Khedira does that Ramires can't/doesn't.

Couldnt agree more on that, however if Mou wants another CM in january, he will get Khedira more likely than Pogba. Summer, everything is different then. But we need some addition now to give certain players some rest.

Jose is not one for the panic buy, Matic was a necessity last year as he is proving to be. Also why would we get Khedira when we have Ramires and he barely played? Is Khedira that much better than Mikel and Ramires? The grass is always greener is strong amongst Chelsea supporters... Sturridge comes to mind.

This bloody headlines "Varane wants Chelsea move", "Messi fancies Chelsea"

Yes ladies and gentleman, the transfer window is open!
