That's a really depressing report. So many potential problems there.

1) Levy still not convinced to sell Modric

2) Modric is a Roman pursuit rather than AVB's

3) If Modric isn't signed, there's no alternative for a player like him

4) 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.

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

Cool.

Anyway he's not a bad player, just not the Modric/Moutinho i expected! :no:

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.

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.

But according to the Guardian, that's not the case :thinking:

Oh really? I haven't read that one. 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.

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.
