Gaston Ramirez’s permanent move after impressing massively on loan last year does not seem to be working out too well for the lanky Uruguayan. He has been a regular feature in the team but after being played out of position lately, it is said he wants a move elsewhere. With the evident quality and experience in the Premier League, he won’t struggle to find suitors in England and with a number of clubs struggling to fulfil their objectives, available quality in the market will be snapped up in no time.
With Middlesbrough again going on a spending spree this window, there will be ample replacements for the player if he decides for a change of setting. His skills on the ball and his ability to link up well with the striker makes him a real attacking threat and his physique and determination hold him in good stead in tight situations, especially in the physical nature of the Premier League.
Let us take a look at three ideal destinations for the player.
CRYSTAL PALACE
The Eagles are struggling badly in the League and are still without a win in the league under new boss Sam Allardyce. With the team slipping into the relegation zone with the history making Swansea win over Liverpool, it is quite clear they have to move fast and use this window to make alterations which might help them in their quest to salvage some pride this season.
With rumours of Townsend joining Newcastle United gaining momentum, there will be a replacement needed and Big Sam can surely come up with a way to make use of the former Southampton attacker’s guile and creativity.
STOKE CITY
The Potters have also struggled this season initially but have sort of turned things around lately. Mark Hughes will be a relieved man but he would know that there has to be further changes in order to sustain this newly found momentum and translate it into a competent league finish.
They have signed Berahino to solve their striking woes but they still lack depth in the creative department. And with Bojan linked with a move to the Riverside Stadium, there might be a like for like swap between the two clubs.
SUNDERLAND
The club which needs players the most in the League at this moment. Moyes is in a rut and he has neither the financial backing nor the players to come out of it.
Ramirez’s potential move is likely to be a loan one now and with the Black Cats in desperate need for players all over the pitch, they should go all out for him as his partnership with Defoe might well turn this hopeless season around.
