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!)

Haha don't let the tattoos fool you, Mereiles isn't strong at all.

I wouldn't mind Mereiles joining us for 12 mil at all, as long as it doesn't mean we're not getting Modric or a player of his type.

@nadavtkl

He can't play DM (unless you like DMs who are weak defensively ).

[cujo101 75]

Don't get me wrong, Meireles is a good player but for some irrational reason I keep seeing Liverpool saying 'thanks for the cash' again

[lionsden 4,689]

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

I gave up hope when we placed a bid for Perreira. . .nothing surprises me anymore about our transfer dealing and those who will find a way to defend everything relating to Chelsea.

You can almost picture this

News: Chelsea fc are on the verge of signing Peter Crouch

some TC members: AVB knows what he's doing.. . .Crouch wouldn't be a bad addition.

Right im going to try and get one thing clear, Merieiles may not be the household addition, but one thing we miss without Essien that seems to go un-noticed due to the obsession with width and creativity is a midfielder that could take a big game by the bull of the horns.

Mikel im not sure he can do that, Ramires while he will be great for us im still not sure he could dominate in a big match just yet and Romeu will be 50/50. Merieles has been there and done it, we lack a hardman in the middle with Essien out and Ballack gone and that is the one element that worries me for the big games, with Raul Mereilies in that will be sorted.

I do not honestly think Merieles is a "plan b" for Modric, i think AVB is planning on bringing them both in. Yes i know my spelling of Merieiles is shit and inconsistent but this is a football forum not a spelling competition (just incase anyone picks up on it).

[Kojo 4,676]

Couldn't give a fuck what Liverpool say, cause they will say anything just to get to you, just like most people do. We don't need Meireles, but if he's willing to come as an extra midfielder and not a regular starter then sure, 12 million isn't bad. But if this is getting in the way of Modric or a creative midfielder then this is just pathetic, and i can see why most people have given up on the board.

[whinni09 37]

Why cant we just put £12million on one of the benchseats? We haven't tried Romeu yet..

Good point, spending £12m when we have Romeu and need a creator in the middle of the park...

[Madmax 9,219]

Funny how people were saying AvB must've some plans for him if he's going to sign him (Perreira) but now regarding Merieles the same people say they're disappointed.

Whatever happened to "He's the manager so trust him"?
