johnymac1983 2 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 ive never really seen the fuss about RM, a bit odd that pool would want to sell him after one season,maybe hes been causing unrest behind the scenes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Again, I like Raul but he's neither a DM or CAM which would address some of Chelsea's issues. But as a box to box who isn't much of a defensive force or a creator, why sign him? He'll be good for the odd goal but Lampard already does that. If he does come...I would start him in front of Lampard, Raul had a better season in 2010-11, he's younger and his legs are still good.

Kuyt and Raul were dropped to the bench for the first game. Aquilani and Rodriguez weren't even part of the subs. I'm hoping it all goes wrong for Daglish but who knows, maybe it's a matter of clicking and Downing/Adam/Henderson will take over the world.

Steve 10,227 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Not really needed and there is better options out there. Not taking anything away from him, he is a class act but just don't see where he would fit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 No offense guys, but if I'd know that AVB wants him, and you say we don't need him, I think I'll trust Andre.Just saying, 'cause I wouldn't be surprised if Roman brings him just like he brought Zhirkov or Torres, as a personal toy.Anyway, I wouldn't be mad if we sign him, even if we really don't need him. But don't forget that Essien is injured and we don't know when or if he will ever completely recover. Ramires can't take Mikel's place, in my opinion. Ramires is not a DM.

manpe 10,861 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It's simple - he would be a bench warmer, and we don't need benchies right now, our starting XI needs to be strengthened as a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Though if Mata and Modri are signed, Meireles should come too. Chelsea's masterplan to sign all M players. Messi is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicrico 175 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 He had a good year last year. Think there is far better out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Neither is Meireles.You're wrong. He can play there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You're wrong. He can play there.I've only seen him play for Liverpool and he's best in the center but not as a DM. He had a good if brief partnership with Lucas and Lucas was more the DM.But if he played DM in Portugal then fine, I can't speak to that.

Tortilla9 390 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Part of RM's problem at Liverpool, other than being at Liverpool, was managers (Hodgson and Dalglish) pushing him out wide to accomodate Gerrard. The wide role didn't get the best out of him.Aquilani is a more creative CM than Meireles though. He looks like a stiff wind could blow him over but he's creative and has an eye for pass and movement in the final 3rd. He had a good season with Juventus on loan but they couldn't agree on a price with Liverpool to bring him back permanently. He looked pretty good playing against Spain for Italy in the recent friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianLion 232 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Guys I'm sorry for posting this here but is there a general transfer thread?I was interested if Chelsea are still pursuing Josip Ilicic and Armin Bacinovic from Palermo but didn't want to open a separate thread.
