Ramires

Never a massive fan since his big dip in performance since the 12/13 season, but was a true servant to the club. Believed he was finding use again since last January or so when the pairing of Fabregas-Matic was turning sour. Sad to see him go, but £25m is a fantastic price.

 

And, once again, somehow Mikel survives yet another cull. Like my tag line used to say "Mikel - the turd that won't flush". Better than Houdini that man is.

But we'll one less player in the squad. That's the point.

Ramires' and RLC's minutes this season combined can very easily be filled by a single player.

That said, I do believe we will actually go for a replacement, but probably in the summer given that it's already the 25/26th.

Wished to see Mikel go before Ramires, esp because Ramires is more useful in rotation/backup because he can fill in in a number of positions and roles.

However, reports say Ramires is unhappy... unhappy about the lack of minutes, his form, or not starting? If for not starting, well, he should not be routinely starting games for us, which btw also applies to others who have been starting for us anyway...

A bit torn on this one: happy that we are going to (potentially) improve on him, esp technically, but also unhappy that Ramires' career is pretty much over.

China though? He's only 28, he would easily play in many top European teams. Not top top teams, but the Liverpools and AC Milans of this world. Where is his ambition? Doubt he'll be getting anywhere near the Brazilian squad playing in China.

Nevertheless, for all his faults, overall he has been a success and has left a lot of heart and sweat on Stamford Bridge. Good luck to him wherever he goes.

Money. To put in perspective, Asamoah Gyan moved to some Chinese team last summer and is reportedly earning over £200k p/w. So imagine a more valuable and bigger name like Ramires will be earning considering that will be the highest amount a Chinese team has ever payed for player. Probably more. Ridiculous amounts of money being thrown at players now and that is why so many players are moving there now. People will say he was on a lot at Chelsea but he probably will triple his wages in China.

And let's not forget...he's won it all at Chelsea. So he obviously has a lot to be happy about in his career so far, why not a ridiculous payday?

Yeah, I'm sure this thread will be flooded by all those people who watch the Chinese league on a weekly basis! :P 

I wouldn't put it past people to bump this thread each time he scores saying how much we need him now

Everyone looks at the huge amout of money and a lot of the people get greedy, the question is, do they really pay it?
Remember this:

For most of Drogba’s short stay in China, talk swirled about his imminent departure as Zhu battled Shenhua’s other owners for control and wages for some of the team’s foreign players reportedly went unpaid


In England and Germany you don't have those problems, some clubs in Spain have problems, but no one can control what the Chinese clubs are doing, it's out of our hands...
If i had the choice, i wouldn't go there, i would stay at Chelsea, maybe Ramires didn't talk to Drogba...

25m £s is like 33m euro more than double his worth. Crazy what he will earn there. Best of luck thanks for all the memories and some great goals. Not gonna talk about negatives. His pace, stamina, heart and collection of text book finishes and brilliant solo runs in spite of his limited technical ability will always be cherished fondly.

Can say that I will miss him alot. Has been quite poor recently but he has been a great servant years before. Would've kept him as a squad player but 25m is an amount you just have to accept.

Always loved the lad! Hope he plays in China only until the end of the season and then move to Europe. Jeez 25m.!

I noticed a lot of the guys who move to China only stay there for a few months to a year so I think we'll see him in Italy or Spain before too long.
