Smalling better than Ramos, only on Redcafe.
Sergio Ramos | Signs new 5 year contract
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I guess we asked for Benzema, Varane and got rejected so now moved onto Ramos.
It seems we are getting desperate.
It seems we are getting desperate.
If we sign him, we should put him at right back only for the reason that I always play him there on Fifa and he's amazing. Poor logic maybe, but I have faith.
Anything can happen, but it's beyond me why Ramos would want to leave Madrid.
Ramos would be great.
He has an extensive history of being a bit of a hot-head, but he's undoubtedly a world class defender and would instantly improve us.

AS suggesting Ramos' time at Madrid is up...
Come on now. Bloody hell.
Would be perfect for us, not a chance in hell of it happening though. Would also cost like 50m minimum. Can't see him wanting to leave though if he did, then we would have as good a chance as anyone I'd guess.
I hate Ramos but Smalling better? What?
Also as I stated I hate the guy but come to think of it buying him would be a nice deal. He can play as a RB too.
Him being a cu.t I can imagine him driving scousers crazy with his antics.
Saying all that I'm 99 percent certain this deal wont happen.
Im the biggest Smalling fan and even I see Ramos is way better. Although Ramos is overrated defensively, his ball playing skills and attacking influence are immense.
Ramos is twice the footballer Smalling will ever be, it's laughable to suggest Smalling is the better player. He has become so overrated on this forum it's getting ridiculous.
We'll be left with Arbeloa.
Pretty disturbing that we could nearly go through the entire Real first team and still get a player who'd improve us.
Eh ? Smalling is better than Ramos ?
Ramos is undoubtedly one of the best and most rounded central defenders in the world. Yes, that isn't saying a lot given the current dearth of quality at the particular position, but come on. Smalling might be close to him as a pure defender when he's fit and on form (debatable still), but Ramos is one of the best distributes from the back (up there with Hummels or Pique), is mega experienced (almost 130 caps for Spain, 80+ European appearances), knows what it takes to win (has won the European Championship twice, World Cup once, Champions League once), is a leader, would give us a legitimate set piece threat (something the team has lacked), and raises his game in the most decisive of moments (both offensively and defensively).
That said, this seems like a negotiation manoeuvre, or maybe posturing by Ramos and his agents to secure his long term future at Real.

Anyone who makes Vida seem hinged surely would be a big risk

AS reporting unequivocally that Ramos wants out of Madrid
I've seen "Lukaku better than Saha" and "Smalling better than Ramos" here the past two days. My brain can't take much more.
I was being slightly sarcastic when I said Smalling was better, what I meant is that I don't rate him as defender.
I've seen him a few times and he is a glorified midfielder who can't defend.

If Ramos fails Woody should ask for Modrić next.
Strange assumption.
Some cracking comments in here. He's a brilliant defender and I would happily take him although I very much doubt it will happen.
What the...? This is surely a wind up. Would love Ramos here, but why would he want to leave Madrid??
Most overrated defender in world football ever.. I hope its muppetry. P.s he is a c**t
Wait. How is that a "childish" response? Did Busqeuts ever clearly apologize for that? If he did, has he changed his ways now? The point here is whatever Ramos has done, he's been doing it in the open for everyone to see. He is over-agressive on the pitch but Busquets is ten times the twat Ramos can ever be.
Serious question how much is he worth considering his age and length of contract.... £20m?
Also, my preference would be Ottemendi.

Typical CAF view of all Madrid/Barca defenders.
Ramos would be a great signing.
would be a great signing.If we went for Ramos then I guess Otamendi would be off the cards given Real have been linked with him and would need a new CB?
Reportedly he wants a massive hike. He's on 4.5m for sometime now, wants more than 10m. Perez doesn't want to give him that much.
They're both twats in equal amount.
Being overly aggressive is far worse than being a diver.
Are we trying to get him for our right back position?
Ramos, Smalling, Otamendi, Shaw
That would be a very good backline.

If this somehow materializes, I hope we play him at RB primarily, not CB and get Otamendi for CB.
That's just a typical stereotype. He's actually pretty poor as a midfielder. The few times he's played there he looks shite. But he's a world class defender no doubt about that.
don't believe it still. but not unrealistic, multi-positional (that twitching a s s right-back role calling!), comfortable ball-playing defender, first-class experience which only Carrick and Rooney have in the team
He did say in January that every day he prefers the Premier League more. But like the seemingly common thought on here, it's got to be his agent angling for a bigger contract surely?
I'm not going to believe this until Ballague confirms it or an official report from United stating a deal has been agreed.
will quote myself from earlier
yeah... edited it recently but it was only a typo.
