Ramires is a perfectly good footballer.

But is he worth £25million? The Brazilian box-to-box midfielder has served Chelsea well in his five and a half years at Stamford Bridge, playing 246 times and scoring 37 goals. Including this brilliant chip against Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League semi-final second leg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7FdqIthU0s The Premier League champions certainly got full value for their £16million outlay to Benfica, and now look set to make a profit on the player. According to BBC Sport, Ramires is set to join Chinese side Jiangsu Suning in a deal worth almost £25million, a fee that seems excessive for a useful, hard-working player, but one currently being kept out of the Chelsea XI by John Obi Mikel. However, Chelsea fans will miss the 28-year-old. https://twitter.com/SabFrniCFC/status/691599760910897152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Silly_willy17/status/691600877845626880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/TheCampaignClub/status/691601017184600064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Murphs90_/status/691601118976184320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Zaki_Diab/status/691599686235508737?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
