Ramires

[Milan 17,859]

Ramires and Maicon recalled by Luiz Felipe Scolari for Brazil friendlies against Australia and Portugal in September. Looks like the issue with the Brazilian federation has be resolved.

Scolari: "I know Ramires had problems with CBF president Marin. But I showed Marin my list yesterday, and he accepted Ramires is in."

Thank god for that. Ramires doesn't deserve to miss out next year.

What was his problem with this CBF?

I love this new Ramires we are seeing, consistent and better first touch, more consistent passer, seems a bit stronger. Jose has obviously worked with him over the summer.

Ramires v Villa: 104 passes, 94% pass accuracy, 1 key pass and 4 tackles won.

Yup. What a beast. Best performer so far early in the season. Not only for doing the typical Ramires things but showing exceptional passing ability. First name on the team sheet now, undoubtedly!

Imagine this Rambo with a capable partner in Midfield.

No but seriously, he was amazing today. Want to see him with MVG or Mikel and see how those partnerships pan out.

Still getting bypassed a bit too easily in the pivot it seems. Though it probably doesn't helped with Lampard partnering him there.

No probably about it, the pivot is our weakest part of the team when Lampard is in there against teams who have a lot of energetic players in midfield. Not to forget how much Lamps slows everything down......

Is ramires the modern bison? or is that blasphemy?

Ramires, if his form continues should be a regular starter this season.

I might be alone in this thought, but he resembles so much of Makelele to me. Only like twice as fast.

Makelele was much better in terms of pace, Ramires is more agressive, Makelele barely tried to shoot. I think they are two completely different animals.

Great to see that people are finally starting to really rate this guy. It was criminal how underrated he was by our fans.

[Rambo 1,729]

Ever since watching him play in his first start vs West Ham I knew he'd become my fav player one day. He's not the most gifted technically but his work rate is just as fun and inspiring to watch considering his size.

Just wait for people to turn against him when he makes a mistake.

Imagine what he will do when Van Ginkel is in the line up. he will have more freedom to counter which can only be good for us
