Ed who do you think that will join us in Jan

{Editor's Note: I think there will probably be a right back - a couple have been looked at including Van Der Weil - but he could end up going to Barcelona if Alves leaves. I think a player deal may be agreed for the summer as well.}

Chelsea are interested in signing Lazio and Romanian center back Stefan Radu as Chelsea have been watching him in several Lazio games this season. Lazio has responded to this interest from the Prem champs by offering the 24 year old a new deal with a £17m release clause.

Any truth in this ED?

{Editor's Note: None that I know of - Juventus have certainly been interested in the player. I expect right back to remain a higher priority than centre back.}

Chelsea should sell Ramires at the end of the season. This guy is just not doing to job for us. We paid a staggering 18m for player who won't even get game time once Lampard or Zhirkov is fit. Honestly Ramires is a good player but would be better of in Germany or Spain. We could signed Meireles or Moutinho for atleast 12m or Banega for 8m. Chelsea spent 23.5m on Benayoun and Ramires when they could have chased Ozil and signed him for 12m and Meireles for 11.5m same amt of money but better players who would have a bigger impact and the same wages will be paid to both players. Plenty people will say give him time but he will not get time once Lamps or Zhirkov is fit and he cannot push Mikel out of that position because he lacks technique and passing and distributing skills. He's not very physical and will have trouble adapting. In the end they should sell him and buy Bacinovic or Anan with the money they receive.

Whats your thoughts Ed?

{Editor's Note: Ramires is struggling to adapt - he certainly will not be sold in January.}
