Ramires

[Duppy Conqueror 1,526]

if Carlo wants to add an experienced Goalkeeper,that`s better than Turnbull & Hilario..signing Ramires will not prevent it,nor signing a Neymar or somebody of that ilk.

Ramires is a pure gladiator like what Essien is he never gives up to the last second

+ 1

I actually like the idea of Ramires and Essien in the same midfield. Although the similarity of their style could scupper their performance, look at what happened when Lampard and Ballack played in the same side, or in the early England days when Lampard and Gerrard tried to gel as a midfield pairing...

I honestly don't get people. First people shit themselves that we've got an aging squad and we need to sign people then when we look like signing someone it's all oh no this isn't the kind of signing we need to make blah blah. Literally there is no pleasing some people.

Haha with you on that.

We need a central midfielder, especially with the fitness of Mikel and Essien over the past two years.

Belletti, Joe, Ballack and Deco all out, too. Can't rely on Mikel, Essien and Frank for the whole season.

totally agree with you mate!

[chelsea-france 1]

I think he will come. It's a great player

I would agree with the fact Mikel has gotten better. I personally don't think he will get ANY better. But thats just IMO. I would like the best for chels regardless. You know theres those players that keep growing and growing getting better n better. Then there are those players that are supposed to get better but dont. I hope he can be something special though I myself don't see it.

CHELSEA want to wrap up the £17m signing of Benfica star Ramires in time for their pre-season tour of Germany.

Carlo Ancelotti’s squad fly out on Saturday and the Blues boss wants the Brazil midfielder on the trip.

But the Portuguese club are playing hardball and Chelsea may be forced to wait until next week to complete the transfer.

Yes it would be really good to get him before we get to germany so he can get to know the training regime and all that !

[LDN Blue 7,903]

As long he signs, I don't mind if it's this week or next.

Portuguese media source 'abola.pt' are reporting that Ramires has agreed to stay at Benfica for another year. Apparently they are fairly creditable, so again we'll just have to wait and see.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Benfica have reportedly convinced Brazil midfielder Ramires to stay for one more season before he completes a big-money move to Chelsea.

Ramires has attracted interest from a number of European clubs and has strongly been linked with an imminent switch to West London.

However, reports in Thursday's Portuguese press claim the 23-year-old has accepted an improved deal in Lisbon and will therefore delay his move to England until next summer.

Tabloid A BOLA says: "The subject is very advanced and the footballer (Ramires) has agreed a significant increase in salary and in others conditions."

Benfica club president Luis Filipe Vieira has allegedly held a meeting with Ramires with the Brazil international "willing to accept the contract extension".
