Clubs wanted him, he was prepared to leave, Jose blocked the bids because he wants him to stay, he said he'd stay here as long as the club and the manager want him because he feels he ows everything to Chelsea.

But yeah, Bograde II. Swansea draw, Tibo red card, Eva row, the immorality of the British sports press to turn a normal incident into a national story and call it the 'Eva Row' to make it look sexist, all obviously Mikel's fault.

On Rami, no way Jose lets him leave either. In fact, fully expect to see him start tomorrow at City.

The Brazilian midfielder has got an international call-up again and has been talking to the Brazilian press.

He doesn't want to go anywhere, feels Chelsea has been a dream, and wants to win more trophies with the club.

Only in the sense that he's staying to ride the wave haha. His contributions in the past far outweigh Bogarde, but the situation rn warrants the comparison xD

If this was the same ramires, but ramires doesn't look the same anymore....

All those injuries might have played a toll on his body now.

[Beigl 1,387]

He instead of Cesc should have stood on the pitch as he was one of our better players today. To be honest he was about twice as good as Fabregas today

[The Skipper 20,593]

We need a serious upgrade on Ramires.

He was okay today but he cannot be our go to option in big games.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

He looked slow, which is his main strength, is it not?

Rambo doesn't look the same....

Really surprised Dunga called him up

[didierforever 7,349]

well, i guess i must have seen a different game cos along with matic and begovic, he looked like the only person who could hold his head high.

he should have been the partnering matic, not the bottler.

Do you think he would've had a decent game if he was playing in the middle?

[HRiver 1,512]

Please get rid.

[didierforever 7,349]

yes. ten times better a game that was had by the bottler playing along side matic.

[JaKstone 307]

Ramires had one job to do, track back Kolarov and of course he failed. The Special One lost his magic it seems, I could of predicted even before the start of the match he will fail.

Get rid of him.

You are right, Skipper. We have right now many problems, but this one is among the biggest. Your "big game" player cannot be an average player such as Ramires, who is above all poor technically. You especially cannot play him as a winger.

As soon as you make this move, even before the kick off, you know that you will concede the midfield domination and that you will play as the inferior team that tries to hold on and get a result.

From a technical point of view, this move is bad. But the stance you take when you make it is even worse, this is a bad message. That is why if Oscar cannot play the big games (whatever the reason is, but it seems to become a fact), then it is necessary to find someone to be our starting n°10. Because to replace Oscar by Ramires in every "big" games, it is already bending a knee to your opposition.

Whoever at the club came up with the idea of playing Ramires out wide should have been sentenced to 30 years in prison long ago.

[Magic Lamps 11,449]

also no idea what has happened to Rami. Remember Ramires of 2012. He was so instinctive in his decisionmaking. whenever he did receive the ball in space he just ran towards goal and shoot. instrumental figure in our cl and fa cup win back then. he still has the same stamina and pace today, just his instincts are gone. he has become ponderous on the ball which is deadly for a player with such a low football iq.

Somebody should tell Mou that just because Ramires is wearing #7, it doesnt make him a winger.
