Ramires is an integral part of this squad and the people who want him sold are crazy. His pace, intensity and stamina will be key in many games this season and offers something no one else in this team can. He is coming back fresh and will have something to prove. I, for one, welcome him back.

Agree with you some of the way but not all of it. Our squad definitely needs a player who offers the qualities you list and Rami is one such. His shortcomings are well known however; shortcomings which often become an issue during games. If we can find someone else to match Rami's strengths and to offer improved finesse in possession, that would represent a significant upgrade. That player may not be easy to find but we should be looking. Hard.

I think it's important to distinguish his pro and cons as an individual player and his role in the team.

I won't say he has poor technique, we have seen he can be exquisite at times. Rather, his consistency is pretty poor technique wise. Plus he gives stupid fouls.

But, his role I'm the team diminishes in terms if technique with the addition of cesc. In fact, all of his pros seem to match cesc's weaknesses. With matic and cesc playing centrally, those stupid fouls seem less dangerous.

I think he is more important this year than last year.

Integral is taking it too far. we already have Oscar and Willian (to an extent) for the battering ram role. He's useful but not "integral"

He has more assists than both of them in the league this season.

No doubt, and if we had Ramires instead of Willian against Chris Smalling on the counter, we would have had a half-time lead at Old Trafford

Was he with Brazil in the International break or was he spared to recover from his injury?

I vaguely remember Jose saying after the Liverpool match that Rami will NOT be joining the the NT.
