Raul Meireles

AVB wanted him, and I trust his judgement. He has to be better than an out-of-form Lampard, surely?

[Kojo 4,676]

Well look, Meireles won't offer you long balls, but if he plays in Lampards position, i think this would be very good, he's good at getting forward and picking out nearby runs, also he's got a shot on him. He's useful, but lets look at the positives of this transfer.

I HATE HIM AND OUR BOARD TOO

I don't understand this at all. Give reason for your hate... Or don't post such stupid comments.

I put a post on the 'deadline day' forum, people complaining he is just another B2B midfielder I think will be (hopefully) pleasantly proven wrong. He is not a B2B midfielder in the Ramires mould, he is a more creative and technical player but also has a good engine that allows him to get up and down the pitch. That engine is an asset in that he can be found more regularly in higher offensive positions which can only benefit the likes of Torres.

The other big plus was that he handed in a transfer request so late on to force the move through showing his desire to join us. Modric never showed the same desire for me, he never pushed it as far as he could to force a move, instead prefering to save face and reluctant to waive any loyalty bonuses. I would much rather someone join who wants to play for this club.

Good luck Raul, I think he will turn out to be a very good signing.

Just because the club never buy the way you want? you're such a disgrace,

Perhaps Lampard will be dropped. Hopefully.

He's a solid addition. Think some fans were spoiled by the deadline day in January and expected more.
