Ramires

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Ramires insist the Club World Cup is very important to Brazilians.

"I grew up seeing the effort of Brazilian clubs put into winning this competition and for me this title would be a dream come true," he said.

"This is part of our football culture. I came close in 2009 but that was not possible. Now I'll do everything I can to win this title for the first time, it will be very important for my 'CV'."

--------------

I would like to win it as well.

Will be bum out if we can't win it!

Wait sell Ramires...................... are you fucking insane???!?!

[Land 331]

man i relally worry for Ramires. are we buying a RW, yes no doubt about it, then ramires is pushed to double pivot role primarily and idk how comfortable he is there?

luckily its not my problem! but i do feel for him if he is frozen out a bit. quality utility man.

he is a dm/cm,not a winger.avb and di mateo turned him into a RW and that works fine when countering but it is terrible against teams who park the bus or have half decent defenders

IMO, his passing skills is underrated by many and he will surely be a good fit as CM alongside Lampard or Mikel. But the best position for him will be in a 4-3-3 formation.

Oscar Luiz And Rambo In Brazil Squad for friendly game on August 15th.

Brazil coach Mano Menezes has named Chelsea duo Ramires and Oscar in the squad to face Sweden in a friendly on August 15th.

Shouldn't that read as 'Chelsea trio Luiz, Ramires and Oscar'?!!

And what made Menezes changed his mind on Ramires? Thought he never really favored him and had find silly excuses to drop him before.

I hate the fact that he doesn't really have a position. He would work as a B2B player of a 4-3-3 but other than that I can't really put him into FIFA terminology.

[capriccioso 2,545]

He loses the ball too often at centre midfield. That's where we played him when we first signed him and he looked out of sorts then.

Either we play a 4-4-1-1/2 allowing him to play as a right midfielder or a wide 4-3-2-1 rather than 4-2-3-1.

Obviously the main problem with that is Lampard, he can't play there.

Alternatively:

That's a joke. His passing is very below average and can be seen in almost every match he partakes in. I don't understand the love TC has for Ramires. He worked out well last season because we were playing counter-attack and he can outrun a lot of people. We're not gonna play like that this season and he's way too overvalued by our fans.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Too much is made of his crossing ability, or lack of it. We've lost our big aerial threat in Drogba, is it really necessary for our wingers to be hitting in 10 crosses a game?

That's because he wasn't used to English football yet and needed time to settle.

Another position he can play is at RCM, in a 4-4-2 diamond midfield. Used to play there for Benfica IIRC.

That's his best position imo. But I don't see us playing a diamond anytime soon.

i havent heard that arguement (his crossing) but if thats being said then yea i agree no need. but he needs to be in cm, and in a 433 or 4141. he cant beat anyone one v one only on counter in space. which is why if we can be full throttle, with hazard and marin on wings and mata as cam, rambo can be that extra man making those runs into space and helpin us unlocking defenses. thats the only way 433 can work. a true LW &RW, aswell as cam. so long we havent had both and now we do, along with one of best cam/lw in juan manuel mata. i am confident 433 will work if hazard lw mata cam and marin rw. rambo in cm. it will definately work.

To be honest there's no much difference between that 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1 with Hazard-Mata-Marin up top and Ramires in double pivot. Also Mata isn't a CM.

For those of you who think Ramires cant cross, give it a break.
