Raul Meireles

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Yeah, buy a box-to-box if we can't buy a playmaker... This logic strikes me.

This.

Can't believe this. Another defensive player. Great work Chelsea.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Maybe just maybe AVB potentially has Essien in mind? I know we have other options at the moment but this is the only logic I can see in it. I don't mind Meireles, I just don't know where he would play!

How about fuck off

[Kojo 4,676]

that is true but tbf we made a bid for Modric weeks before AVB was appointed.

No Modric?

no problem we have Josh.

It is a problem, because Josh wont start, Modric or any other playmaker is the only hope to put Lampard on the bench.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

I'd love to see a midfield of

McEachran --- Meireles

Ramires

in home games, if we don't get Modric, we have to groom McEachran for creative role.

How about fuck off

how of all the strikers listed is Dan the most obvious

[Styles 9,790]

If we sign Meireles then I give up all hope on anything ever again.

[magicrico 175]

I'd hate this transfer. Don't rate him

[NoFear 23]

If he aint spectacular,he is solid and quite a consistent performer. But the problem is we have Ramires who is playing superbly in his role for us. So unless AVB plans of using Ramires in the DM role, I cant see where he would fit in our starting 11.

[Fulham Broadway 16,975]

Devastating, physical, proven scorer for the dippers. Would like this to happen, but no way Kenny boy will let him go

[Waterfall 893]

Would rather spend 35M euros on Gotze than 10M+ for this guy.

[Billy. 2,742]

hes a good player but hes not what we need right now and plus cant see liverpool selling anyway

[whinni09 37]

I'll fucking cry if we get him......................................................

[cujo101 75]

Why do I feel like we are getting ripped off again...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

To be fair.. I wouldn't complain about £12million.

He is good muscle to have in our, weak, midfield. No-one fucks with Meireles.

[Sheva. 5,373]

I have no problem with this, as long as we do not give those basterwards any player.

And we also get Modric

[nadavTKL 1,787]

I like Meireles, but i dont know where he will play. We have Lampard, Remires and maybe Essien later this season, no need

for him. Unless he can play as a DM. If he can, go for it! (but not instead of Modric!)
