Raul Meireles

[BosnianLion 232]

Guys I'm sorry for posting this here but is there a general transfer thread?

I was interested if Chelsea are still pursuing Josip Ilicic and Armin Bacinovic from Palermo but didn't want to open a separate thread.

LOL

Why would we give them an young striker who has the profil whom we need, to get a 28 years-old average player who we don't even need ?

Sometimes I wonder if journos think a second before writting...

That's a really depressing report. So many potential problems there.

1) Levy still not convinced to sell Modric

2) Modric is a Roman pursuit rather than AVB's

3) If Modric isn't signed, there's no alternative for a player like him

4) Instead, the club will seek Meireles...he's a good player but he's not a creative MF! For crying out loud, him coming in and Benayoun going actually means Chelsea loses creativity.

5) Perreira's deal is not close to signing at all.

So basically by the end of Wednesday, Chelsea could end up with nothing at all or just Meireles. I hope Mata is made of steel because if he gets an injury, good luck to Chelsea creating anything at all.

Why exactly do we want an injured player?

Yawn! the media say this about almost every player we're interested in.

.... and more! Rambo is much quicker and works harder than Meireles for pace!

His injury is a bruised collarbone and he'll be out for 1-2 weeks.

Look I don't want him either just because he's basically only coming in if we don't get Modric. Obviously I would prefer Modric. But if Chelsea come up empty-handed and Benayoun is leaving, then Meireles is better than nothing. I

Cool.

Anyway he's not a bad player, just not the Modric/Moutinho i expected!
