Jusek 2,031 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 He has pretty good shooting technique. Can crack some great volleys, like that Wolves goal. Some firepower behind the strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 After a lot of thought I've decided this isn't the worst signing in the world. Sure he isn't exactly what we needed but he provides cover and is a full international so clearly is a decent player. I guess most of us we're hoping we would build for the future in just one summer which was never going to happen. Who knows, some young player somewhere might have a great season and prove to be a better option than an overpriced Modric and McEachran will definitely get more minutes.

Joelasticot 111 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I remember when people on this forum said we would lack goals in our midfield in the future with the likes of Ramires, Mikel, Josh etc.. That tatooed guy might just be what we need as a transition before we find a proper replacement for Lamps.By the way I'm really into his bad ass looks and stuff. Even though he wasn't the most creative midfielder available on the market this window, He seems to do the job in terms of being on the end of creative passes and carrying the action further up the pitch with yet simple but always great passes (on a technical point of view).

Ray. 217 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Glad after all the hype we have someone. Don't know much about him, but can't wait to see him in action, maybe he might prove to be the perfect partnership for a certain striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Must be something about ex-Liverpool players giving the finger and then joining Chelsea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sl1XWFI7tUThe finger, the goals against us...It's clearly a pattern. Maybe Suarez is the next one to score against Chelsea. And maybe he'll flip the bird to the Arsenal's fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeB 1,281 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 How long is he injured for?Any how do you pass a medical if you are injured?He is no longer injured, I though he was injured longer but a Portugese friend said to me that he is OK, he trained normally today and is due to play tomorrowI really don't get the whining on this signing. First off, fuck sp*rs and modric. Im actually glad that deal wasnt sealed. The thought of giving them 40m just makes me sick + im sure he will leave either on january or next year and then he will probs go for 25-30m. Honestly I think it's likely to go through in January, Spurs did not spend a lot in this transfert market, because of Levy's statements and his controls on the buisness. No huge investments means that there is no really long terms plans planned since this summer, it maybe means that Uncle Arry is not likely to stay next summer... In the most probable scenario of this season, no Champions League for Spuds and Liverpool to qualify in C1, I wouldn't be surprised if Modric wants to leave in January or in the worst case, in the summer in order to play Champions League again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Not true, i also like him, he look totally badass, his tatto and his mohawk are just what chelsea have being lacking of.So damn true!!!He was one of my fav players outside of Chelsea, the coolest footballer in the world i think... Suit us well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_Blue 71 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good signing IMO. I'm sure AVB has some plans for him.Absolutely loved the Meireles thread on scouser forums. Starting from " I've heard he has put in a transfer request, and I don't understand why" at 10:30 PM last night to :541: 'I won't mind 15 m plus Sturridge' at 10:40 to 'Lets do a Levy on Chelsea' at 11:00 to total disbelief and whining after the transfer was confirmed on chelseafc.

If we sell Kalou nobody here gonna get mad lol.Yeah a friend of mine is a Liverpool supporter and he isn't happy. He rates Meireles pretty highly. I just tell him he's come to a better club Top signing in my opinion. Hopefully he'll find his feet as quickly as Mata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 First of all: Welcome to Chelsea, Raul!I'm happy we didn't get Modric. He's a good player but the money we wanted to pay for him was too much. The more I'm happy Meireles is playing for our team now, he might not have that creative attributes Modric has, but by signing Meireles instead of Modric, we got a pure team player, a player who has great b2b abilities and the most important fact in my opinion, that McEachran will get (probably) more playing time than he'd get if Modric was on our roster now.Hope Meireles will make his way and win as many trophies as possible with Chelsea.

But you've done very well in looking at the positives my friend, McEachran wouldn't of played as much if Modric came, plus with Meireles he adds pace and moving forward, something Chelsea lack, we sit back to much when we shouldn't because we have no ability to get the ball forward without actually moving forward with the ball. Sturrdge and Mata offer that pace and something special, Torres also offers pace, so he will probably get used to this, Ramires is the only pacey midfielder we had to be honest, Lampard and Mikel are slow, so it's nice to have someone like Meireles on that team.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Laughable they thought they had a chance of getting Sturridge I realy hope Sturridge will prove himself this season, because it was realy annoying trying to explain Liverpool fans that there is no waywe will let Daniel go. One great performance by him would do the job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
