Ramires

[bababoom 4,478]

True, his first touch has improved quite a bit over the season. If his finishing had been this good earlier on he'd easily be on 20 goals by now. Still, what a player. He'll get better and better.

And he looks so cute with his braces...

Ramires key to Chelsea's future after impressive FA Cup final display

All quiet efficiency and leggy running the Brazilian midfielder has replaced Michael Essien as his side's energy source

Without a doubt our biggest miss for the final. And that's saying something about the growth in his stature and importance to the team post arrival , considering other players to miss out include the captain and man mountain Ivan.

I have always criticized Ramires's lack of technical ability , but now when he is deployed as a winger it's much less apparent because he doesn't need great ball control , passing or a great 1st touch to keep the ball on the wings , i like him very much at that position , with his pace , continuous running and dribbling you always know that he will at least get you 1 or 2 great chances each game .

Even if we get new wingers , i think Ramires should start next season's big games , what he adds to the team will be deeply missed in 19th of may.

The first Brazilian to score in the FA Cup Final. Damn, how he will be missed in Munich

I want to make a machine that would merge ramires with mata. The resulting player would be the best footballer in history!

If we had Ramires we could of Nullified the threat of Robben. He is a player who we can be used in a tactical way, he can counter pace based players like Samuel Eto'o did in the 2010 Champions League final against Robben. Mourinho figured out that if he put Eto't on the right win then Eto'o could use his pace to counter Robben's electrifying pace and it worked wonders, Robben was not even effective and we never heard of him in that final.

This, he would have helped out a great deal with Robben or Ribery.

Real shame he's not going to be available, someone else would have to step up big time.

Who raples Ramires in Muchen?!?

I hope Sturridge, Kalou or Torres

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Surely we'll miss him on 19 May 2012 , but i think Sturridge , even if he's not a playing every time must start the final , we'll need his speed , against Bruno or Van Buyten , he could be the 'key' in this match , of course he must play with the team and defend more , but I think he knows that and in a final of Champions League , its better to start him than Malouda.

Ramires is surely one of the potential player of the year , he was decisive in big games such a number of time , and his Barcelona goal was just pure class and pure magic, the REAL ramires !

As they said on ITV's pre-match analysis,

"he's a lad who just loves playing football"

Even Drogba at his age is miles quicker than van Buyten. Sturridge's largest asset is one that's unnecessary because there's already loads of players that can shit on van Buyten in a sprint.

Which brings us down to his weakness: defending, and boy, will we need a lot of that if we are to win this trophy.
