Ramires

[Jose M 140]

I am sure that the deal is all done and dusted now. For some reason Chelsea have a thing about announcing signings on a Friday at 5pm, expect to see the obligitory picture of him signing his contract on the Chelsea website at 5pm today

:goodpost:

I hope so it'll make make my day , you sure about this tho?

On the Community Shield preview on the official site.

Of the new boys, Chelsea will no doubt deploy clever attacking midfielder Yossi Benayoun at some stage [, while this game will come too soon for latest midfield addition, the Brazilian Ramires]. Several youngsters will appear on their biggest stage yet, and how they fare may well determine whether they remain to fight for games in SW6 or are loaned out for a while to hone their skills elsewhere.

All reports indicate that the deal between clubs is done, Ramires seems to think it is done. Probably work permit issues holding it up.

Still expect to see "Ramires Signs" as a headline on the Chelsea website come 5pm.....

Chelsea target Ramires has revealed that he sought advice from two former Arsenal players before deciding on a move to the Premier League.

Ramires has explained that he spoke with Brazilian compatriots Gilberto Silva and Julio Baptista, who both played for Arsenal, regarding making the transfer to England.

The 23-year-old said in The Sun: "Gilberto, Julio Baptista and others gave me confidence by insisting I must accept this chance.

"In the end the Chelsea proposition was impossible to reject - not just because of the money but the chance to spend every day at one of the best clubs in the world.

"As a boy in Brazil I watched the Premier League and I remember how Chelsea and Manchester United played such attractive football.

"This summer has been a dream - the Portuguese title with Benfica, the call of Brazil, the World Cup and now the jump into the Premier League."

Jesus! I hate to be somewhat impatient, but I can't believe they're delaying the completion of this deal! Surely it's gotta be sorted and signed now!!

[EskWeston 696]

Well i guess my prediction was off then!!!

Lets hope it is the work permit issue that is holding it up and nothing else.....

[Shane 2,275]

Hope the deal is done sooner rather than later.

[chrismada9 1,948]

yeah I know! I can't afford to sleep away another day just so this deal can be done! I wanna use him on my PES 2010 master league game

Apparently over on CFCnet someone is saying there's a problem with the medical which is what is holding this deal up.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

I'll have a word with my mate over at the training ground and see if he has been in for a medical yet. I don't think he has mind, otherwise he would have said.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

Just been told that he hasn't been to Cobham yet, so the likely hood of him failing his medical is very low unless he is having it elsewhere.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Nah doubt end up like the Robhio saga..mean for one thing Benfica, are willing to sell him to us! Dont think Madrid were ever gana let him come to us and were probably grateful for the shirt cock up so they had more ot an excuse

[TrueChelseaBlue 105]

I'm getting impatient and a tad concerned... is he DEFINATELY joining us or not? getting really concerned now about this.. sick of waiting.... surely its only a work permit issue? someone help me out here.... is he joining or not? lol
