Raul Meireles

[Tomo 21,751]

Mikel, Lampard, Anelka and too a lesser extend Alex are IMO the main culprits for our slow play. bring Luiz, Meirieles, Romeu and Danny in their places we might see a more faster Chelsea.

Well one thing for sure, it can't be any slower.

Stop moaning, he's a great player you'll see!

Meireles giving Torres a relatively easy tap in.

Yeah, they seem to work pretty well together.

Start Rant

Got into an arguement with a stupid scouser today about this. He said that he wanted Meireles to leave but afterwards he said that he was a traitor.

"Betray us and you will always walk alone." Fuck off you stupid scouser bastards.

WHY DO THEY HAVE THE WORST FANS IN THE WORLD?

I bet they all think he did it for the money. I think he joined to win trophies and be around many other Portuguese speakers.

End Rant

That goal was all Torres.

"Betray us and you will always walk alone."

Id rather walk alone.

Well... Welcome Raul. You have a lot to prove to me, but I really like your style, hehe The kind of style we need in Chelsea to play more a tough style

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Meh.... Just heard and very underwhelmed, still give him a fair chance

[LDN Blue 7,903]

One good thing about Meireles is he is an avid follower of the "pass-and-go" movement. Something we really lack..

[J.F. 1,484]

bad boys, bad boys...

[LondonPride1905 236]

One thing is certain, he can make a pass, he is experienced, works his *ss off and costs only 10 mil. If something he reminds me of Ballack, and with all the negativism in many of you, that may stimulate him even more. COME ON, RAUL, SHOW THE SCOUSE TROPHIES ARE WON HERE, NOT NEAR LAKE MERCY!

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.

Cech

Bosingwa-Ivanovic-Terry-Cole

Mikel

Ramires-Meireles

Sturridge-Torres-Mata

Available 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.
