dodojojo 510 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If Meireles is coming, I would bet my left testicle that its because Torres wants him here. I dont follow Liverpool games very much, but how was their link up play?I truly doubt Torres has that type of influence at Chelsea just yet. He needs to score goals for quite a few seasons. And frankly I doubt AVB would tolerate kow-towing to a player in such a manner. He may tread lightly around the older established players but not bow to Torres whims on transfers. Clearly Mata was wanted by AVB and Torres helped facilitate it. I doubt Mata would have been brought in over AVB's objections just for Torres' sake. Just look at Benayoun's situation. He and Torres are really good friends. If Torres had any pull, why have they hardly played together at all under 2 managers? Why is Benayoun leaving? Meireles played with Torres mostly under Hodgson so the evidence was a bit tainted by the crap football played but they linked up pretty well considering they had to play such negative football. For sure, Meireles would be one Chelsea midfielder willing to pass the ball to Torres. They also seem to get on really well. I don't think Meireles is particularly excellent in anything, he's just a good all around player. He may not be great defensively. The big plus he would bring Chelsea is that he understands pass and move football which seems to have been a forgotten art at Stamford Bridge. If Meireles comes in, I'm sure Torres will be happy but it won't be because he demanded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I am really worried that we will get crazy-desperate at 10pm GMT and offer Danny. I know it probably won't happen. It should be a no brainer when Liverpool ask for a talented 22 y/o + cash (the cheek!) for an average 29 y/o that plays a position we don't even need, but the nutters that run our club....... I am very worried indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Moutinho :'(That's what I've been hoping for all day, but I've heard more pigeons taking a shit outside my house than hear anything remotely promising regarding him on SSN!I turned it off because I gave up years ago... and because I can't fucking stand Sp*rs, Arsanal and Scumpool fans cheering on there... cunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laeth 527 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 This reeks of desperation; AVB got rid of this guy as he wasn't good enough for Porto - and now all of a sudden he is good enough for Chelsea? What the fuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuriZhirkov 106 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hahahahhaa... LOL! Put in a transfer request 30 before deadline.. cant stop laughing.. :541:But I think he is extremly underrated.. and better than Yossi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 AVB obviously likes him and he knows him well. Usually i would say Meireles is average but because AVB knows him very well, i'd like to see it get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Moutinho :'(too late to agree a bid and ship him over for a medical sadly he is a brilliant player that we defos need.. fuck modric and meireles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortilla9 390 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think he's a little underrated or not as bad as most think. AVB does know him and maybe he knows how he can fit him into the glorious midfield he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'll think about Meireles when he comes, but if Studge is any way a part of this, I'll go on a shooting spree I tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I would actually be happy with Meireles for 15m. Sure we could've done better, Moutinho would've been a better choice, but hey, better somethin' then nothin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
