Ramires

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Going to be on fire this season -our Player of the Season 2011-2012

I doubt that. Not because of him, he's a great player and I personally realy like him, but with the talks about Pastore in our team, I think the midfielder who will

lose his spot in the starting 11 is Rami. I mean for most of the games. IF Pastore will come, Ramires will be only a realy good squad player, but out

of the reguler first 11, Unless:

* He will show he can be a DMF and Boas will prefer him over Mikel (and than maybe over Essien).

* Boas will decide to bench Lampard(If Lampard will play badly like last season, if not, I doubt Boas will do that) and go with Pastore has our only attacking MF.

And for that I think Rami will have to show he can be more affective in our attack.

* Boas will make him a proper RB has been said, and I actually think he can be a RB.

* Pastore will play on the wing.

Funny thing is that in my FM save he's been my right back ever since the start. I had a lot of injuries and he had some experience at RB so I shoved him in there, and he performed so good that I kept him there permanently and now he's a beast there.

I'm a big fan of Ramires. How many games is he going to be playing this year? Considering rotation, possible injury, etc. I think he plays 30 total.

I absolutely disagree there. In the AVB midfield three, you have a CDM, a CAM and a B2B. Ramires can play in all three of those positions, but he is best in the 'Essien role' as a box-to-box player. Meaning we can play Mikel-Ramires-Lampard but vary it on form and on fitness. Ramires' versatility ensures he will be first choice in my opinion. And if AVB doesn't make him first choice, his appraisal of players is definitely lacking.

Ramires, who must serve a one-match suspension for the red card he picked up at Old Trafford in our quarter-final tie against Manchester United last season, will miss our first game at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Forgot about this.. should be fine without him for Leverkusen though.

Unpopular opinion: Our midfield will be much more effective if McEachran was playing instead of Ramires.

^ That could also work.

Oriol

Lampard - McEachran

Problem solved.

I am sticking to my pre season foretelling that he will be Player of the Season

He has been great so far! I agree with this fully.

Was brilliant today !

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I say that after 90% of our matches in fairness.

not just unpopular but misguided...perhaps in a couple of years ....perhaps ....

One of my favs. Always gives 100%, and seems like a great guy as well.

Any news on his Injury??

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Andre said it was a minor one, but we'll know more after he runs some tests and has a scan.
