Respect his loyalty to the club by signing a contract, especially considering the situation we are in. He really is a player who is hot and cold though, and it's hard to know which one we will see from one week to the next. He, like Oscar, have amazing football ability when they are ON!

To be fair to him I thought he was one of the two good players in the side yesterday, won a lot of tackles and apart from that woeful 40 yard diagonal ball, I thought he was great

His energy and engine is enough to warrant him.

 

Especially now he is the never give up type of player we will need,

Why say

I've never seen Mikel play a forward pass

 when you knew it was a lie.

 

What can I say, I just love lying.

Please

Despite his limitation, he's the best midfielder we have right now. I wish he would run the ball more often, every time he pause and decide to play a pass, things tend to go wrong.

• 'Chelsea are closing to selling midfielder Ramires in this transfer window, with Bayern Munich and PSG interested in the 28-year-old.'

  Got his pick of teams it seems, wouldn't be upset to see this happen although I don't think he will be getting replaced. 

It's a shame because he sometimes just pops up with a great goal or run, and then gets overshadowed by mistakes.

As the years have gone by he seems to be digressing, and if we can make some money off him and look at Pogba in the summer that'd be a good move.

sometimes scores amazing goals, a lot of times can't even do the basic things

can't say i'll miss him if he's sold

Yep sums him up in a nutshell

Just January speculation. Like Mikel and brana ramires will never leave.

Ramires un a 3 man midfield is pretty good. Ramires under Ancelotti in second half of season was good and under AVB/RDM he was excellent. Since then its been more bad than good, i would sell him in the summer.

Sorry I 'fixed' that.

He regularly cannot make simple passes.

Does your head in, doesn't it?

Are we replacing him with anyone? Surely we have to?

Give Bamford a go

Can't understand why we would sell Ramires. He's a useful squad player - unless we are actually serious about giving RLC a run out, but I'm not counting on it.

I don't think he is useful at all anymore. He has had 2 good games all season. 1 against Newcastle as a sub and the other against Walsall in the League Cup. 

 

The guy doesn't have the same energy he once had, he can't tackle, he can't control the ball and he can't make simple passes. This may sound harsh but it wouldn't be hard for us to find an upgrade on Ramires.

The BBC interview with Wenger makes for interesting viewing.

He's asked some very loaded questions, basically tells Wenger Costa was offside and "made the most" of the challenge.

Wasn't asked about our penalty shout though.

Not sure what that has to do with Ramires. Is interesting he seems to have been frozen out. The talk of a move though seems like the talk of a move for Mikel. We hear about it nearly every window, but it never happens.

 

He only recently signed a new deal. What was the point there if we are just looking to sell him? Did it really increase his price?

Another positive move by Guus ... not having Rambo on the bench ... Jose type player only ... upgrade long overdue IMHO ...

ESPN says he's off to China.

Looks like he's leaving. Well this seems to have come out of nowhere.

China?!? 

 

he's 28..... as average as i think he is, surely there is a decent team in europe who would take him on? 

 

bizarre.
