This will go down well...

This was always obvious, just wasn't accepted from fans...

*sigh*

That dashes any hope I had of us buying a new midfielder. I just don't see how it would be possible for every fan here to see that we are and have been in desperate need of a specific type of midfielder but the board don't. They can't possibly think that Ramires is good enough, surely?

José keeps saying that we'll be making a "couple of clinical" signings. Striker is obviously the main one but a CM is just as important. Ramires holds us back more than he helps us these days.

It's not necessarily the board who think he's good enough: it's Jose. After his performances this season most managers would have given up on him. But you have to remember that Mourinho wanted to buy Ramires at both Inter and Real; and not once has he publicly criticised (and Jose is hardly averse to doing so) or dropped Ramires this season in spite of his many ridiculous displays of petulance and incompetence... Instead he is constantly defended and made an untouchable — if that's not a manager-player obsession then I don't know what is.

Idd. If we want to start playing more attacking football we really should get another CM who can pass the ball. Or try a youth player, Ramires is only good for some games.

Are you still alive?

Guessing the head smashes to the keyboard must have at least knocked you out.

Ramires, I'll give it another year to judge tbh. Like some said, a good squad player option for certain games, but an all-in starter like Matic, and i doubt Jose isn't going to buy a CM or at least thinking of implementing someone like Josh or Chalobah in.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

The sad part is that he was actualy our best CM before Matic came, and a very good one too. Always involved in game; was one of our leaders, stepped up when needed.

As soon as Matic came, he massively decreased. I remember he was one of best players along Mata and Luiz last year, and one of better this season before turn of the year. Now, he is reaching Mikel level of usefullness sadly.

Cant believe that so many of players we buy cant fill the potential/form and improve. Ramires, Luiz in first place, all strikers we aquire, then Schurrle, Willian, Oscar,...last three still have time thought.

But I realy expected more from Ramires and Luiz when they came. Never realy understood Ramires buy, as he is jack of all trades, but master of none, someone who can only be sub player in world class team But Luiz, I realy hoped he could somehow step into shoes of Carvalho. Well, maybe he will one day if we dont sell him first...

[Blue Armour 4,289]

People are so unforgiving these days...he hasn't played enough games in a row in the second half of the season with all the suspensions,...he went from nailed-on starter in CM to an outcast within 2 months.

Well I never liked him, even when he played good he would still annoy me with his shit passing.

this why i critise mourinho, he fail to improve and fill the potential with so many players except terry, cahil and hazard, so many our youngster just learn about hardwork and tracking back. He even not improve our collective play and maybe really decreased it. I fear this because his very conservative tactic.

And yes,because you mentioned it, i remember again ramires before 2014, arguably our best CM (maybe i forgot because ramires just turn into frustasting player for the rest of 2nd half of the season )

But this is bother me too, with the arriving of Matic, what happen with him (beside injury) or this because different role and then he become struggle?

I mean why when he got better player or i say great DM beside him, thats not making ramires improve or performing even better but actually playing worse ? ?

Torres can't even be the best at being the worst

He along with Oscar was given the opportunity to raise their game and be leaders and this past season both failed and were especially woeful down the stretch. I'm sure they will be incredible for Brazil in the WC then come back down a notch or two for the club with fatigue as the first excuse, to be followed with a repeat performance from last season. But I'm sure they'll come up with some really fun pics on the bench for instagram during a crucial match.
