dodojojo 510 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 "Chelsea show renewed interest in Liverpool's up-for-sale Raul Meireles"http://www.telegraph...l-Meireles.htmloh god please no!! :unsure:That's a really depressing report. So many potential problems there.1) Levy still not convinced to sell Modric2) Modric is a Roman pursuit rather than AVB's3) If Modric isn't signed, there's no alternative for a player like him4) Instead, the club will seek Meireles...he's a good player but he's not a creative MF! For crying out loud, him coming in and Benayoun going actually means Chelsea loses creativity.5) Perreira's deal is not close to signing at all. So basically by the end of Wednesday, Chelsea could end up with nothing at all or just Meireles. I hope Mata is made of steel because if he gets an injury, good luck to Chelsea creating anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Why exactly do we want an injured player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 2) Modric is a Roman pursuit rather than AVB'sYawn! the media say this about almost every player we're interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Why? He can't do anything that Rambo doesn't do already..... and more! Rambo is much quicker and works harder than Meireles for pace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Why exactly do we want an injured player?His injury is a bruised collarbone and he'll be out for 1-2 weeks. Look I don't want him either just because he's basically only coming in if we don't get Modric. Obviously I would prefer Modric. But if Chelsea come up empty-handed and Benayoun is leaving, then Meireles is better than nothing. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmin 2,484 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Ok so (almost) all of us were happy when Andre Villas-Boas became Chelsea's manager. Now he wants a player. Why can't we just give the man some confidence? It's not like he wants important players to leave. Buying Meireles doesn't mean we won't sign Modric or Sneijder or another creative midfielder.

Buying Meireles doesn't mean we won't sign Modric or Sneijder or another creative midfielder.According to the Telegraph, Meireles is a backup plan if Spurs won't sell Modric. So actually, buying him does mean Chelsea won't be signing a creative midfielder. It's B instead of A and not A+B=AB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yawn! the media say this about almost every player we're interested in.that is true but tbf we made a bid for Modric weeks before AVB was appointed.No Modric?no problem we have Josh.

laeth 527 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can't see this happening; don't think he is good enough for Chelsea. If AVB likes him so much, why did he flog him off at Porto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the Telegraph article.Okay, just read it. I guess we'll know which paper gets right by 11pm on Wednesday. I usually trust the Guardian more...and hope it's right. The Telegraph makes it clear that Meireles is the backup if the Modric bid fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 1. Modric2. Moutinho3. Meirelesnot the opposite...if we bring both Modric and Meireles though it would be nice, but me wants to see Josh play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortilla9 390 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't think Meireles is as bad a player as some people. He's not a CM wizard but he's not sh*t on a stick either. He can play the ball quickly, he looks to distribute, he can shoot. I could actually see him linking up well with Mata and the forwards. He may not be first choice but I don't think he's the worst thing to happen either IF it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
