renanh 311 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Is Raphael going in? Do you guys from Brazil consider Luiz good enough for your starting 11? Rafael from Man U? nope.And yes, absolutely, can't see anything other than DL and Thiago Silva as our CB pair. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo 28 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Rafael from Man U? nope.And yes, absolutely, can't see anything other than DL and Thiago Silva as our CB pair.You don't think Dante will overtake him? Also, if Fernandinho does go to Man City, does that open up his spot in the NT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renanh 311 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Fernando - GrêmioHernanes - LazioLuiz Gustavo - Bayern de MuniquePaulinho - CorinthiansThat's his midfield, i could easily see Fernandinho overtaking Fernando for the World Cup if he does go to Man City and proves himself there.I'm obviously biased towards DL, but as long as he doesn't go crazy i don't see it happening.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Ramires was dropped for disciplinary reasons. Something to do with being injured not showing up in time (he showed up late accompanied by Eva), and perhaps also not sticking around. Not a done deal for the WC-unlike Ronaldinho who showed up completely drunk-but Ramires will have to work hard AND talk with Brazil coaches/officials if he wants to secure a spot next year.This was NOT the time to not show 100% commitment though, if he wanted to play next year that is.BluesMaster, agree with need for a rest, but it could negatively affect the player's confidence. Or it could make him work even harder to make up for it and get a well deserved call up for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 From the club's selfish POV, Ramires missing out for the Confederations Cup is a good news for us. Can get a proper break after a long hard season and return fresh for next season. Shame Luiz and Oscar are in the squad especially the latter. He could do with a break!

didierforever 7,349 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 the only half decent thing he did in the match was win the bloody corner... never again wanna see RAMBO in that wide position... anyways LOVE U RAMBO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,959 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 He surely set a new record of being offside in one game. That was just frustrating. Anyway, just like Torrey, we may say he won THE corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Spent half the match in the offside, but he did cause the Benfica defense a lot of trouble. Wasn't as bad as people are making him out to be. Luiz and lamps, for example, had much much worse performances tonight.Anyway, it doesn't matter, what matters is that the trophy is ours!

teignman 441 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Had a shocker in the EL final, granted whilst playing out of position. However, he was tenacious as always and played his heart out. He's got guts, and sometimes guts is enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 He had a disgustingly poor game yesterday and I was ready to lambaste him, but then you think that he is a holding player, playing out wide in a team that doesn't use the wings. Did a good job defensively, but hopeless going forward. I hope this serves as a reminder to the new manager we need wingers, and that Ramires is a centre-midfielder. That being said, what other options did we have? Marin is useless and Moses is out of form, so he was probably the only real choice Rafa had.I personally would have done with RDM did against Juventus, and played Azpi on the right of midfield, with Ivanovic in behind, and Luiz dropping back in as a centre-half. Ramires CM alongside Lampard, with Oscar and Mata drifting between the LM and false number 9 position, Azpi on the right, and Nando up front. Similar to what we did in Munich with Bertrand on the opposite side. However maybe that's a little too revolutionary for Rafa haha!

mybodyisready 155 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Good player but I've always said if we could replace him with Paulinho i'd be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeriRamires will be the first Benitez's request for Napoli after the manager will sign his contract, according to Corriere dell SportBtw, expect Benitez announcement between saturday and monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Was just about to post the above ^^^He can be hit and miss, has poor finishing, can be reckless and is one of our worst passers, but it would be such a shame to let go of someone who gives their all for the club, has scored crucial goals including the one sending us to the CL final and has an infectious smile.Napoli don't have any amount of money they'd be willing to pay which would make our club turn their heads I feel. £30m or above and he can go Or maybe if we get Inler in exchange.

DJames 729 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The only people Benitez can take with him is Torres, Benyayoun (and maybe Marin) yuvala and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
