BlueSunshine 672 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I used to like him as a player when he was playing for Porto but he is certainly not the player we needed.Yossi would have been more useful than him,i really can't understand why we loaned him.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I am somewhat hesitent to what kind of system AVB will look to play now - but - it is nice to see a new face into the club that won't be going out in the next 24 hours on loan. Would have been wonderful if De Bruyne could have been the player who could have been our creative speark, or even that Yossi was. I guess the reported claims that AVB wants to use Josh more is more correct then we could have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OReillyD36 311 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm thinking 13 will be his number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he liked the number 10 more than he was letting on . 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 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.I think Meireles is a creative player and actually fits the bill perfectly as to what AVB is looking for in our style of play, Meireles is suited to playing a quick, fluid passing game, he is an excellent passer of the ball and has an eye for a pass.Honestly the way some people are describing him you'd swear we had just signed the lovechild of Vinnie Jones and Wilson Palacios and not the creative and technically talented Raul Meireles.

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 yossi didYeah, but for some reason AVB didn't want to play him. We now know that this is an AVB signing, so i think he will be playing a lot of matches this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 hope he provides in midfield .. not perhaps our first choice ,,,but now he is OURS ,,,so I hope everyone at least gives him a chance.Proper Chelsea fan, zolayes, well played my mate! We might not have wanted him, but we should now support him.I HATE HIM AND OUR BOARD TOOPathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall 315 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I HATE HIM AND OUR BOARD TOOYou're such a clown. It's done now so even if you don't like it you should just support it. Why don't you judge it at the end of the season? If he scores a hat trick in champions league final I don't think you'll hate him as much, and were you screaming about how much you hated the board when we signed Mata? MUG.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 On one hand, im very disappointed, we enterd this day knowing Yossi is going to leave, and we thought Modric he's going to come.Now Yossi is leaving, and we didnt signed Modric. So i thought that we are going for someone like Moutinho, but in the end we gotMeireles. I like this player alot, but im disappointed that we didnt have a better plan b or c if Modric isnt coming. On the other hand,its better than nothing, and i think he can improve our midfield. If we had Yossi and Meireles, it would have been better. Im shockedthat Yossi left to Arsenal... a stupid mistake, hope we will realize we didnt need him.A very confusing day... 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 Yeah, but for some reason AVB didn't want to play him. We now know that this is an AVB signing, so i think he will be playing a lot of matches this season.Personally Id love to see him start, he gives us a different option in midfield, he offers creativity, and a more subtle method to our approach play which should blend in very well with the likes of Mata, Sturridge and Torres.
