Blue Armour 4,439 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Why Gourlay signed Raul Meireles"Because he's the hero that Chelsea deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll sign him...because he can take it...because he's not a playmaker...he's a stealthy goal-scorer, a watchful defender...the new Blue Knight " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm really excited. Some of you sound like pedophiles - "anything over 25 is bad".. get a grip 27-30 are the best years for a footballer. He also had time to settle in EPL at Anfield.. had a great season, gives competition to Lampard and Ramires for that matter.. has a good shot, can be a threat from a long range and that's what we've been missing. I repeat this is not a damn FM11 or Xpert11, this is real life.. he'll be brilliant if given the right chance and SUPPORT. He also has worked under AVB before, played with Torres before as well. Had we made Mata+Meireles signing last night together, we'd be all praising CFC board. I think they've done a brilliant job this summer. Getting in youth, especially Mata and Lukaku, didn't let Sturridge slip away, loans for Kakuta in Bolton, got rid of some youth players they knew weren't going to cut it yet. Loan deal for Yossi to Arsenal, so he can't play against us.CechBosingwa-Ivanovic-Terry-ColeMikelRamires-MeirelesSturridge-Torres-MataAvailable subs: McEachran, Anelka, Malouda, Hilario, Drogba, Lampard, Luiz, Romeu, Lukaku, Alex...I think it's a great line up, we have a good bench as well now. Face it, there are LOADS of games coming up. One injury and otherwise we would have been fucked but now there's cover for everyone. Who would have replaced Lampard for instance? McEachran surely will get playing time and rightly so, but he will never replace Lampard, not yet. Meireles is CM and DMF as well.I would have given you 100 rep if i could.

TomCFC 357 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Not sure about giving a four-year deal to a 28-year-old, but I suppose he's younger than Yossi. As long as he's creative, makes chances and scores goals, that's fine. It'll be interesting to see him, Mata and Torres together, even without Modric.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Think its optimistic at best to think he will replace lamps, u dont yet believe avb has the balls to drop super frank if he continues to be off the boil but we will see. Any inclination of what number he will take? 13 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badboy 1,526 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Why do we always do this ? We always let ourselves down when trying to fix our problems. Yet another season with no playmaker or right sided winger. You know what the sad part is ? We will probably go on and win trophies this season and it will paper over the cracks like in 2009-2010. We are appalling in the transfer market, its just shocking to see. If it were not for signing Mata i would of lost hope a long time ago.

Bacika 188 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good signing, decent fee, not crazy like 40 mil for Modric....this is great player no doubt, and will help us a lot this season I would love to see him playing DM instead of Mikel, but more offensively...

Fulham Broadway 17,311 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Can only be a good signing. Physical, drives forward,Bin dippers Fans Player of the Season last year :yes:Obviously Modric was first choice -but it;s like getting off with the ugly bird at 1 55 am in a club, when you've been eyeing up a stunner all night. However the ugly bird is a good fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri 115 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Oh well we have been linked to him since like forever and when I saw him on tv having a little chat while exchanging shirts with Lamps after the Eng - Ger game, I thought this is the year it finally happens ...He will NEVER leave Bayern, never!.

Sparkie 27 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Download the MOTD highlights + analysis for the Wolves-Liverpool game (Jan. 22) last season. Absolutely brilliant performance by Meireles in that game.Could I get a link for this please?Also, a four year contract gives us the oppurtunity to sell in two years and his value won't drop.

Cechmate 15 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just signed up for this site .He can play defensive or attacking , which gives the other midfielders pressure for places .. something they havent had for sometime , and the kick in the arse they need.
