Ramires

[zakhov 253]

Best of luck Rami. Might not be the last we see of him though. Anelka and Drogba both had stints in China.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Now for me we must sign someone else.

This amount banded about was just far too good to turn down.

I think it means both the club and Hiddink believe in RLC.

When a player's happy to end their time in the limelight this (relatively) young, I always feel uneasy. Obviously it shows the main motivation. Money. And that doesn't motivate you for long.

Who else in the squad would happily leave for China just now? The under-performers I bet - who've lost their motivation, because you can't keep giving them what they already have.

This is probably just how things are now.

Mikel outlasts another one! 

[Leif 6,006]

If a great musician suddenly agreed to only have their music released in 1 country because they're going to profit even more from it financially, you'd say they obviously don't love music, and you'd be annoyed at them for even being in the music industry when somebody else would kill to be there, for the right reasons, and not for the money.

I instantly feel all of that towards Rami. If he wanted football any Serie A team would have bought him. Any Ligue 1. Any Bundesliga team bar Bayern. Silly Rami.

 

-edit
He has enough cash to keep his future generations of sperm fed for donkeys years. So it shouldn't be money...Does he just like China? Why not just go on holiday there during the off-period and have a kick about?

It makes no sense from any perspective unless he's married to someone who always wanted to live in China.

Goodbye Rambo! We'll never forget your CL semi-final winner against fartcelona.

Are you always high?

Best of luck Ramires! Make that bank$$$$$$

[TheIceMan 596]

Yes the cleaning has began!!! Excited about this hoping that follows as chain reaction for: Baba, Ivanovic, Cahill, Mikel, Pedro and Remy and some of the loanees!!

We thank him for his service and wish him well in China, where he will be coached by another former Blue, Dan Petrescu.

Does he really have enough cash to keep his future generations fed for years? You think Ramires is living like the average joe, or will wish to live as one when he retires?

 

Money can disappear like that. Especially when your best earning years come when you are young and have relatively little expenses.  The media has stories of days of broke ex athletes.

Thank you and goodbye.

[iseah100 5,612]

Thanks for the memories Rambo.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,761]

I really feel he should have been our player of the year the first time Mata won. Absolutely fantastic campaign by him.

 

Will definitely miss THAT version of Ramires.

[AWorriedChelseaFan 151]

Thanks for everything Rambo! Wish him all the best in China.

 

25m is a crazy offer, hopefully we use the money properly.

Don't ever play yourself.

I didn't consider that. But what a lot of people don't consider, is that while these footballers are making millions on millions on millions, they aren't actually spunking millions then on cars and houses - they're leasing both of those things, for around a 10th of the price. 

They've got money, and accountants. Some of these players are modern day kings.
