Ramires - Chelsea

[jim]

He's been one of the positives at Chelsea this season, at a time when they seem to be struggling a bit compared with previous seasons.

Fits right into the English league with his general work rate and dynamic play. Got himself in on the goals as well. Proper box to box midfielder!

Agreed. One of the first names on the teamsheet now. Ramires does exactly what any manager wants, he gets on with his job quietly, puts in the effort and has good technical ability. This season he has really added a goal-scoring dimension to his game and is impressing greatly as a result.

I've been a Chelsea fan all my life and I have to say, I absolutely love Ramires, he is easily my favourite current Chelsea player. Why? Because of the effort he gives, he never, EVER gives up and his stamina is one reason he's called "The Blue kenyan." He is not the most technically proficient but his dribbling skills and pace are unrivalled in the Chelsea side, and his driving runs from midfield are one reason he has played in almost every game under AVB.

Great showing from him against Barca. He really is one of the best at that,erm, shuttling midfielder role just wide of centre.

[Fred]

Yes, he definitively deserves to be called by Mano Menezes!!

remires is not brazil national team quality,he fits good with chelsea and teams who play defensive football so he can use his speed and hit on the counter attack but wit brazil its different,cuz brazil don't play defensive football,so its hard for the midfielders to hit other teams on the counter attack.brazil usually dominate the possession so that means the midfielders has to have brilliant first touch and close control insight spaces so that brazil can keep the ball in the oppossessions half,similar to what barca does and how brazil use to do it in the 90's,and remires don't have that quality as an attacking midfielder,his main qualities are his speed and stermina which are great but as an attacking midfielder u have to bring more than that if u want to play for brazil,cause there are many players in brazil with the same quality that remires has.

Ramires is not an attacking midfielder. He may be at ease when counterattacking but he's in fact a defensive midfielder. I think a can be a valuble asset to the brazilian national squad. this team's problem is and always will be its passivity without the ball. everybody expects someone else to do the dirty job. Ramires accepts this role without complaint and he can kill you on the counterattack. I expect him to be on the team soon, because he's one of the best in what he does. He may not be flashy, but he's good
