Our Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern are excited about being linked to one of their former fan favourites. Indeed, the Blues in the bar have good memories of bringing the likes of Nemanja Matic and David Luiz back, so it’s not an alien concept.
After leaving the club in 2016 while falling out of favour under then boss, Guus Hiddink. Ramires is seemingly sounding out Chelsea over a potential move back to Stamford Bridge, after falling down the pecking order at his current club Jiangsu Suning, so our barman thinks.
The 30-year-old helped Chelsea to a plethora of trophies including the Europa League, the Champions League, the Premier League title, League Cup and FA Cup during his first spell at the club. Indeed, now the £12.6m rated (by Transfermarkt) man is looking to add more to his personal collection once again with the Blues.
Our regulars are well up for this arrival and think it’s just what Chelsea need at such a bad time for the club, and our landlord is in full agreeance. He takes a look at TWO reasons why considering Ramires in the summer is the right way to go…
Better option than Bakayoko
Tiemoue Bakayoko hasn’t exactly set Stamford Bridge alight this season with his displays since his move. In fact, probably the opposite can be said for the former Monaco man. Bakayoko has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League and while often it can take a player a good year to adjust, there doesn’t seem to be much of that showing.
One of the lads at the bar thinks that bringing Ramires in and loaning out Bakayoko would be a genius idea, and it’s hard to disagree.
Kante partnership
With N’Golo Kante breaking down the play and feeding Ramires in his box-to-box fashion, Chelsea really could punish teams. Indeed, this has got many of the Blues in the bar salivating at the thought of these two workhorses battling it out in the centre of the park.
Ramires was a firm fan favourite which stemmed from his work ethic and the same can be said for Kante. Chelsea would prove a difficult team to break down with them two in the middle, and one that could build a foundation around the pairing.
