Term-X 7,891 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 £15m for a 28 year old box to box midfielder, and the justification for this is that he's 'better than nothing'...Jesus Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,438 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Not exactly a creator...but he sure knows how to put the ball inside the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Better than nothing.Yes but we have just signed a player just for sake of signing someone. What will he add to our team ? We probably spent more for him then arsenal have for Arteta and we needed Arteta more. I am so disappointed with this signing, the only good that can come from this is if he benches Lampard. Raul can not play a through ball but he can score goals, we don't need a 28 year old replacement for Lampard ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Didn't want him, but he'll do Ok - who would you have preferred though Arteta at 10 mill or Meireles at 15 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Raul MEIRELESChelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Raul Meireles from Liverpool on a four-year contract.The midfielder, 28, arrives after just over a season at Anfield in which he made 44 appearances for the Reds.Born in Aves, Portugal, the highly-rated international began his career with his hometown club before a move to top-flight Boavista, where he spent one season before moving to Porto in 2004.It was at the Stadio do Dragao that he flourished and helped Porto to a domestic treble in 2005/06. He scored against Chelsea in the Champions League knockout rounds a year later.Two more league titles followed in 2008 and 2009 and Meireles established himself in the national side, playing under Luiz Felipe Scolari in the lead-up to Euro 2008, where he scored his first international goal.He played every game in qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, and then scored in South Africa during the 7-0 beating of North Korea to catch Liverpool's eye.After a low-key start in English football, Meireles came to life in January 2011, scoring five times in six games.The 5ft 10in midfielder appeared twice from the bench for Kenny Dalglish's side this season before completing his move to Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day.

laeth 527 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well, I guess he can replace Lampard in keeping Josh out of the team for the next 4 years . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortilla9 390 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Raul can not play a through ball but he can score goals, we don't need a 28 year old replacement for Lampard !He actually can play a through ball and better than any of the other CMs. Whether he replaces or benches Lampard is up to AVB.
