Raul Meireles

[Rkk 17]

how much is the transfer fee?

I believe it's around the region of £12M~£15M, more likely £15M

Wouldn't have been my first choice to address what's lacking in the squad but he's here now for what will hopefully be the best years of his career. Any Chelsea player is our own. So welcome Raul, do the Chels proud.

He doesn't look like a footballer at all, he should be singing for Linkin Park.

I guess I'm the only one who likes his look. Whatever.

@Portugoaldotnet (Portuguese football news in English): Meireles is a very underrated player IMO. Always does a solid job in central midfield, attacking, defending, or box-to-box.

You're not. JF and I are in love with his tattoos and epic mohawk

i likes his look, we need player like him in blue kit.

What pisses me off most about this signing is that we've had about 3 months to either sign Modric or a similar sort of player and have ended with Liverpool's 5th choice utility midfielder.

This has been a massive let down.

I think people will find if they speak to any respectable Liverpool fan they'll admit they're disappointed to see him go. I have no idea why Dalglish played Adam and Lucas infront of him?!

A replacement for Lampard? i mean Lampard still has a role to play at Chelsea, but i think he needs to take a step back a realize that he is not getting any younger, he shouldn't be playing the full 90 minutes every game.

[Madmax 9,219]

Looks like a punk rock bastard, doesn't he? I like.

[Ollie 4,400]

This does feel like a replacement for Lampard i must admit.

Just funny to read lol

Not true, i also like him, he look totally badass, his tatto and his mohawk are just what chelsea have being lacking of.

Very harsh. He was the only good thing about Liverpool last season and therefore won the Liverpool Player of the Year award. He won the PFA Fans' Player of the Year award too. He's a good player and most importantly, he's intelligent and he loves to move(!).

I think he'll surprise a lot people here looking at most of the comments.

Liverpool fans on RM:

.. now Meireles.

He's (was) one of our best midfielders. Deffo better than Speo, Maxi, Kuyt and Shelvey.

In addition he had qualities that we lack; creativity & ability to both pass, cross and shoot a ball.

Also I hear we're only getting £10-12mill for him.

sh*t deal.

We look a better side with Raul playing, more fluid in attack

so they rate him as great player.
