Superblue 6,372 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think we have to consider the players now coming into the side who will all give the team an extra edge and freshness in the areas we lack.Meireles is the most creative central midfielder at the club and has an eye for a pass and a goal. He will add something to our midfield no doubt.Mata gave us an extra cutting edge in the final third against Norwich and will be our creative hub.David Luiz will help to bring the ball out from deep much quicker when he's fit, which has been a problem in the first games. He may even be utilised as a DM, where I think he would do a very good job.Sturridge will give us pace out wide, a youthful enthusiasm and appetite, and also create problems for defenders when cutting in, which can only help Torres from being isolated and doubled up on.

HRiver 1,512 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I was quite surprised at first when I heard of the transfer. Never thought of the possibility of signing him.But welcome Meireles! Hope your career at Chelsea is a successful one. :cfc:He's a hard worker and a good footballer in general, so I'm rather pleased with this transfer.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 he should play in mikels position againts most teams we dont need a real DM!This! Definitely agreed, we don't need a Makelele against teams like West Brom or Norwich, we need an Essien! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomCFC 357 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Interesting that he's got 16 - his compatriots Bosingwa and Ferreria are 17 and 19 respectively (and Hilario 40, but that ruins my "stat"!).Here's a video on the BBC article of his stunning Wolves goal (might not be available for non-UK fans) - http://news.bbc.co.u...ll/14708743.stmTorres also scored the other two in that 3-0 win (his last for Liverpool).
