Ollie 4,400 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 He had a great spell last season which coincided with him scoring against us. He can get goals and he's very fit. He's not a worldy but a signing none the less and AVB knows exactly what he's getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Fucks sake! Some people need to grow some things called "balls" and grow the fuck up, we've signed someone, and suddenly everyone is fuming because it isn't someone creative!Yes, I'm annoyed as much as the next person is because we didn't sign Luka Modric, but one positive aspect of this whole day has been this.... at least we haven't given that cunt Daniel Levy and his shitty little club any of our money.... £40m of it to be exact!The signing of Meireles is a good signing, it's better than nothing at all, and whether he's a creative one or not, we need to back him, just like every other player we have in our squad.CAREFREE!!Agreed. Yes, we desperately need a CAM, and we still do. Still, get behind Raul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX_Blues 3 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Ya I hope he links with Torres well. Welcome Raul and I dig those tattoos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson 358 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 The majority of you's are idiots. He is a good player. Fair enough it took time for him to settle in Liverpool but he has experience in English football, plus he was playing for a shit team.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 A bit excited for him. He scored 5 in 6 games last year. He could do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badboy 1,526 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I will give him a chance but i am not expecting him to improve our midfield put it that way. We have just signed another non creative midfielder, teams just have to sit back against us and we will not open them up unless Josh gets in which looks unlikely. We have no creative midfielders what so ever and that should of been the priority but we always do this, We still don't have a decent natural winger and we have needed that since Duff/Robben. We take years to sort out out problems and it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Hate Scouse 10,326 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Completely useless player. What a terrible day. We offload a good creative midfielder that we direly need to one of our rivals and then sign a useless bench warmer from Liverpool for twice his value.Have you ever watched Meireles play?? Quite clearly not, you absolute deluded twat....Just Saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I wont lie, Im pretty disgusted with the reaction of some on here. We bid 40 million for Luka Modric, what more do you want?Im delighted we got Meireles, by the time it got to the 9 o clock mark I had resigned myself to the fact that we weren't going to sign anyone today, I had been hoping against hope that we would sign a creative midfielder, in an incredible twist of fate in the last half an hour we did. Im not sure what version of Raul Meireles some have been watching but the one I've regularly seen play for Liverpool and Portugal is a creative player who is technically very proficient, with excellent movement and as an added bonus is quite versatile. He is 27 which means he is just entering his peak years. Infact a recent example of his obvious quality was LLiverpool's victory over Arsenal, Liverpool were struggling to break Arsenal down, they brought on Meireles and Suarez and it was their link up play that played the decisive role in Liverpool's victory. I think he will link up brilliantly with Torres, Mata and Sturridge and most certainly adds an option to our midfield that we previously didn't have.All in all Im excited that we signed him and for a fairly low cost too, the negativity on here at times baffles me.

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Some of the Liverpool fans are furious, haha. It's always good to p*ss them off. If he plays like he played in the last couple of months least season then i think he is a good buy. Judging by the Liverpool fans reaction he was a big player for them, and hopefully he will be a good signing. :blue scalf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 People, those who are critising the signing of Meireles (I am one of them) aren't critising the player. They are critising the fact we do sign a Box-To-Box player while we were crying out for a playmaker. We have nothing against Raul Meireles.

Rkk 17 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 God dammit, cant people just stop crying like a baby. Although he not the creative talent that all fans want,but he does bring a different dimension to chelsea, watch some of his game at liverpool before making stupid comment. and believe me AVB know him and he know AVB,he will bring something that Mikel Arteta cant bring, stop comparing him over Arteta. It is unfair to him when he haven't even play a single game for us. THERE IS ALWAY A REASON BEHIND A TRANSCATION, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
