Ramires

[Korea 734]

Just like Luiz right? Oh wait, he along with Mourinho turned down the offer and stated he's happy here

Let's see you say this in January or the summer...

Real and Barca dont give up after their first attempt, especially if they want the player..

Bale: took multiple windows to get

Modric: multiple windows to get

Cristiano: multiple windows to get

Cesc: multiple windows to get

Henry; multiple windows to get

Neymar: Chose barca over everyone in europe

Watch as Aguero eventually leaves for Barcelona as well..

Chelsea midfielder Ramires has told the Brazilian media he is in the dark about reports linking him with moves away from Stamford Bridge.

Recent reports have suggested that Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona were lining up moves for the Brazilian international.

However, Ramires insists he knows nothing about the rumours and that he is only focused on doing his best for Chelsea.

"Many people are asking about the supposed interest from other clubs in my football but I don't know anything, apart from what was reported in press," Ramires told Lancenet.

"I am under contract with Chelsea and my attention resides solely in keeping on doing the good job done at the club."

Turning his attentions to Brazil, Ramires is determined to keep his place in Luiz Felipe Scolari's squad with next summer's World Cup finals in mind after featuring in the recent friendlies against Honduras and Chile.

"It's always better to win and thank God I returned home with another fulfilled goal," added Ramires.

"We are in the final stretch for the World Cup so whenever I had the chance to play I try to always do my best so I can assure my place in the squad for this competition, which is the most important one in Brazil's national team history.

"We played our last friendly of the year and now I am focusing again on Chelsea until the next national team call-ups."

We can't sell our best finisher.

If we do, 100 million will do it.

I think the lure of Barca may be too great for him. But if the Barca magic starts to fail now that Guardiola has left, well then there's nowhere else to be except Chelsea. Anyway, we wont sell him............why should we? he's irreplacable at present

Why would Barca want Rami? I would understand Real, but Barca?! I mean can you imagine Ramires trying to play tiki-taka with his passing ability? That would be hilarious to watch!

I think they've been actually trying to move away from the exclusively passing game they had employed in the past.

Sorry mate, I'm only responding to the rumour!!!!!!!!!!! But now you ask the question. They might want him exactly because of the way he plays. He would bring something new to them, and with Guardiola gone they may feel they need new options. But I do see what you are saying and tend to agree with you. But how many players have been swayed, and left clubs where they played regularly to sign for big money and so called bigger clubs. ie;- Maschareno

Yeah, but a jump from Xavi and Iniesta to Rami, might be a bit too big of a leap for them!

You're they have been trying to introduce a new style like Robguima said, but Rami is just too different and would struggle to fit in, imo. Would be such a shame if Rami makes the mistake that Mascherano and Song made.

I agree, but we have built our midfield around Ramires (in my opinion)...........My worry is Barca may offer to do the same for him

Well they'll definitely need to make a lot of changes to make that work. But if it did happen it would be a real blow for us. He's the only CM that fits our current system!

[DoubleO 192]

Such a bad performance from him yesterday. He could've been sent off like he has been several times before in important matches. I mean, when does he learn? When you get a yellow card, the last thing you should be doing is kicking the opposition players and moaning to the referee.

Sometimes he just does this.

Thought he was appalling last night, yet Lamps is getting a massive amount of abuse across the forum.

It's one thing to have a loose touch all night and almost get sent off but kicking a player off the ball when we're putting together a decent attack is absolutely boneheaded. Looked tired for the first time ever and needs to get back to his best against Southampton.

He's all legs. Once he's tired, not very effective.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Equally as bad as Lampard last night. Both need to buy some new studs, the amount of time they slipped was embarrassing.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Not only that but his ball control was horrific.

[Barbara 15,149]

Not only that but his ball control was horrific.

I was nearly embarrassed for him and that nonsense foul that stopped our attack had me

I get it that if he's tired his legs stop working... but at some point it seemed to affect his decision making too.

I'd love to rest him against Southampton, then I look at our bench and the options are dreadful. Between benching him and Lampard, I'd go with Lampard, because of the age, but I don't see how we could bench both...

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Was tired, thats the only excuse for that shambolic performance
