Some Chinese club for £25m.
I love him for what he has given to our club for the last 6 years. But I think now is probably the right time for him to move on. I just don't see where he fits in to this team.
Good money, but what a weird move. Who goes to China from a top European league at 28?

'Absolutely love Ramires. Always been a better player than anyone gave him credit for.'

Not sure why that's funny. Paulo Ferreira was the same. Great player who never got the props he deserved.
Minus his first six months as a Chelsea player where he really struggled to deal with the pace of the league, he's been well worth the 18mil. Never stops running, never tires, quick, decent finish and adaptable. Not the best technically but didn't need to be, great little player.
Worth keeping if a 25mil bid has been tabled? No. But wouldn't mind to much if it fell through.

I will always love Ramires for the greatest goal ever scored by a Chelsea player - but let's be honest, £25M for him is unbelievable. He is looking less and less like a first team player - especially under Hiddink, so the money is probably more useful for us.
BUT, I hope they use that cash to strengthen the centre of midfield - which is where we are severely lacking. Fabregas can play well, but only when he has 2 central midfield minders to protect him like yesterday. It was no surprise that Fabregas finally had a good game when both Mikel and Matic provided some much needed solidity in front of the defense. But let's be honest - that is not Matic's best position. Both Mikel and Matic seem to play best in the defensive midfield role (although Matic has been poor for most of this season for some reason). In an ideal world we would have just one of those players playing the defensive role, alongside a more dynamic player (Pogba ideally - but realistically that's very unlikely). Perhaps that £25M can go towards finding someone to fill that position.

I'd happily take £2.5 million for him, let alone £25 million.
Appreciate what he's done for the club, particularly that goal vs Barca but he should have been moved on a couple of years ago.

If they're gonna fill in Ramires' position I'm sure you could tempt Mo Farah.
