Ramires

[Peace. 4,352]

Alex will be there to help him out with that I'm sure.

Bosingwa, Feirerra and Hilario too.

[- 25 - 167]

Bosingwa, Feirerra and Hilario too.

& Neymar hopefully.

The appeal is set to be heard today.

I expect an announcement within 24 hours.

[EskWeston 696]

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

Hmmm, maybe i had the time and day right, just the wrong week

I am pretty sure we can all agree that this deal is done! But until the deal is announced i am sure we will all just keep expecting the worst....

I am more bothered if he can play against West Brom in time or not

May possibly come off the bench, but even that isn't very likely. Having not trained with the team at all yet i doubt Carlo will chuck him in.

Right. Who wants to bet he signs today? lol

Still going for 5pm tommorow, lol.... it's the Chelsea way

I reckon he'll sign today, and be presented tomorrow!

The amount of time this signing is taking is quite concerning in my opinion. I'm getting a little edgy that he might not join.

Work Permit paperwork takes days to come through! We had the same problem with Alex when he signed with us. People kept saying that he would need to stay for another season at PSV because it took ages for the paperwork to be accepted. It does take time.

I'm sure the Chelsea faithful can get it sorted!! We have until the end of this month to get it completed so I don't see a problem..... *hopes*

Speaking of Work Permits, West Ham's new signing Miralem Sulejmani has been denied a work permit because he didn't meet the Premier League quota for permits.

Are we sure Ramires does?

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Someone said on BBC 606 that 'apparently' his work permit has been accepted. But don't take it at face value.

Let's now wait for Neymar

[LDN Blue 7,903]

So he won't be available for West Brom? Oh well, not the end of the world.

Good news if true...
