I am concerned after reading the comments made by Ramires that have been published in the press yesterday. Ramires was asked about the possibility of making return to Brazil and Cruzeiro and responded by saying:

“If Cruzeiro are interested, it’s possible for me to go back. Although it’s not a decision I can make and difficult because my price is very high. If Cruzeiro could raise the money, I would go back for sure.

“I was happy at Cruzeiro and felt an obligation to return at some point as the club offered me a chance to launch my sport career in Europe. I still follow their matches on the Internet. The fans were always good to me and named me ‘Ramires the Warrior’.

“I still keep all the videos of when I played at the club and in difficult moments at Chelsea I watch them to increase my morale.”

Now you can understand why I am concerned. It’s not as if he is talking about going back one day, he is talking about the present!

The club has to be concerned about this, and I am sure the club representatives will have a quiet word with the Brazilian.

Ramires without question, has been our most consistent performer, and he won the player’s player of the year award last year. Chelsea need Ramires for the foreseeable future and I hope he stays at the Bridge.
