5 Reasons Why Sergio Ramos Would We A Great Signing For Chelsea

5 Reasons Why Sergio Ramos Would We A Great Signing For Chelsea
Rumours for the past couple of months have said that all is not well in the Real Madrid camp. First it was Ronaldo who was not happy and now it is said that Sergio Ramos is unhappy as well. He has shown this by wearing Mesut Ozil's jersey underneath his own whilst playing. This was seen as a lack of respect towards the club leading to rumours saying that Ramos could leave Madrid, or rather be offloaded in the upcoming January Window. It is said that he could leave for a price of around 40 million pounds. This is a lot of money but Chelsea could afford him. But this makes us think, Would Sergio Ramos be a good signing for Chelsea Football Club. Here are 5 reasons why he would be a great singing:

1. New Breed of Centre Back:

Back in the day if you we physical, knew how to lay a tackle and could boot the ball halfway up the pitch you were a typical Centre Back. Now in the era of "Tiki Taka" and "Beautiful Football" a centre back has to do more than defend. They have to distribute the ball well and be comfortable in possession. Sergio Ramos ticks the boxes. He is excellent at distributing the ball can handle the pressure of annoying forwards trying to get the ball off him. As Chelsea are trying to play this "Beautiful Football" Sergio Ramos would be an ideal Centre Back

2. Great Age:

At the age of 26 Ramos his best years are still ahead of him. The investment would be wise because at this age he could still contribute a solid 6-10 years

3. Replacement for John Terry:

With all the controversy John Terry has faced recently we could see his career coming to an end earlier than it should. He has already retired from England and Chelsea might not be too far behind, This means we would need a replacement of the highest calibre. Sergio Ramos would be a great fit. He is a world class defender as shown at the Euro's where he was an rock at the back stopping players like Balotelli and Ronaldo. He has the potential to be a future leader at Chelsea and would be a very good replacement for Terry.

4. Would Fit In:

Nowadays we constantly hear about how players feel at a club, whether they fit in or not and whether they like their surroundings. Sergio Ramos would have no trouble fitting in at the club with fellow Spaniards Torres, Mata, Azpilicueta and Romeu. This means he can get down to business on the field straight away and settle down faster.

5. Versatility:

Ramos spent most of his career playing as a Right-Back up until a couple of years ago where Mourinho transformed him into a centre back, a position in which he has flourished in. Ramos still sometimes plays as a Right Back due to his ability to get forward and send delicious crosses into the box. At the moment we may not need Ramos to play as a right back but it is always great to have the option available.

Conclusion: Sergio Ramos is a terrific player which every club in the world would love to have. 40 million pounds may be a big price tag in the eyes of some but if you have seen him perform at his best you would understand that this is a very fair price. He could be a rock for our team at the back. In the future it would be very possible to see Sergio Ramos and David Luiz at the back, both very talented players that could form one of the most solid centre back partnerships in the world. Their partnership could be the equivalent to what we had in the Mourinho era with Carvalho and Terry at the back. Impenetrable.

    1. Whoever you are, you have 'football sense'
      I think those are the only 2 signings chelsea make in January.
      If not Falcao then Isla!

  2. I totally agree with this, but I would rather save £20-25m and give Real Madrid Branislav Ivanovic at centre back. They are similar types of players, but Ramos is just better than Branislav at everything, and younger. Ivanovic + £18m should be enough to persuade Real Madrid, and I think that would be a good deal for all parties.

  3. We have Cahill,Terry and Luiz currently our centre backs. Cahill doesn't play much already due to the dominance of Luiz and Terry. Then there's Ivanovic also as a centre back option. If we want to sign Ramos then we'll have to part ways with either Ivanovic or Terry in the same transfer window. Luiz and Cahill is the future of Chelsea. Now where will Ramos fit in with all the quality in the squad? Having Luiz,Cahill and Ramos in the same squad is unhealthy. It was the same with Torres and Drogba,even Sturridge is unhappy with lack of play as a centre forward. Once Terry hands over duties to Cahill and Luiz,we'll have to sign a young centre back to take over when either of the first choice defenders leave.

  4. i think we don't need him,i hear someone saying he's better than iva,but thats absolutly rubish,iva is a better all rounder than him,and for 40million?is not worth it..he does do some crazy thing at times,like tackling aimlessly...

  5. Personally I don't think Ramos will ever leave Madrid. But if he does then its really good for Chelsea. But currently we need a 40M striker than a defender. Or a quality CDM.

  8. hey people. last person we will need is Ramos, especially with his price. do you guys remember Jores Okore from the Nordsjaelland? he was the crazy CB who outran Moses from way behind, stopped most of our strikers and wingers like a solid rock. he is only 20 years old. on top of all that, that guy can tackle, shield the ball and deliver brilliant passes.

    1. Brilliant point. I totally forgot about that youngster. He was brilliant and I also heard he openly offered himself to us. Let hope we keep a close tab and snatch his signature before big clubs come calling.

    2. yes indeed. almost similar to Ramos, just that he can't play as a RB. other than that, he is much younger than Ramos. getting him will definitely cost us less too

  9. apart from what i've said previously, we already have RB choices like Cesar and Ivanovic(might stay even longer). i personally think Jores Okore will join Chelsea soon if both clubs and players reach an agreement because he stated that he's been a Chelsea fan since he was young. and i can bet you he will cost less than half of Ramos's value, so getting him will be value for money. also, perfect replacement for JT. KTBFFH :D

  11. What if Mourinho come's back to chelsea and Ramos is here. ''will they get on' he will be leaving because of Mourinho.!!

  12. Torres would be happy, I think. He seems to like Mata and Ramos a lot. It would be good for him to have another friend here.
    Well, since he doesn't take the pens...
