francozola 2,040 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Personally, I am a little uncomfortable by this Meireles hate right now. Apart from giving the ball away a lot, he did ok yesterday imo. Yes he's an extremely average player but some of the people who boo him/lambast him are convinced that Lampard is still a midfield maestro, can do no wrong, etc etc. I know that Lamps is a Chels legend unlike Meireles, but I don't see much difference in their performances this season. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Also I thought Ramires was as bad as Meireles yesterday (in different ways, but if I had to rate their performances I'd give Ramires an equal or worse rating than Meireles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Choulo, Gaël is home-grown.I'm not too familiar with those rules, but I thought that in order for a player to be considered homegrown, he has to have spent a certain amount of time with the club before a certain age. Didn't we have the same problem with Bertrand this year in the CL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog 2,084 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The Sun is reporting that Real Madrid are lining up a £10m summer swoop for unsettled Blues midfielder Raul Meireles. I know the Sun is basically fish wrap, but I thought I could interest you good people w/ this tidbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I wouldn't sell him. We are already short of midfield options and Lampard and Essien both are past it. We need to be bringing midfielders in. He is clearly not good enough to be a starter but he is a good squad option.I know everyone thinks he's shit but he's not. He's an average player who does okay when he's given the proper duties in midfield. Plus with so many players leaving at the end of this season, we can't afford to sell him and then be 1 player short next season or have to spent another 15-20 million on a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
