Liverpool released the details that he handed in a transfer request at like 22:30, 30min before the deadline!! Obviously he requested it earlier but still damn didn't expect this, I'm quite pleased with this better than nothing!

Thoughts??

Really surprised when i saw that. But all in all we needed 2 midfielders and we got them. I don't know if i can compare modric to meireles but its still a super signing for the club. Oh and what happened to van der wiel's deal? Did it go through cause i haven't heard anything. Lets keep it blue.

Not sure how I feel about this. I still believe 100% that Montolivo was the man for us once Modric fell through, was cheap and I think a much better signing than Raul.

That said, performances will easily sway me Razz

Mikel
Ramires - Meireles
Sturridge - Torres - Mata

Thats how I see it.

Not happy with this move but I welcome him. hopefully he does well.

Go read the thread I created in the liverpool section for his style of play. He isn't a Play maker but thats going to be Mata's job anyway.

I think its a good move.. He is not super good enough to block the path of McE and at the same time he is quality enough to do some damage to the opponents. More than anything this adds depth to the squad.

Guys don't get too excited about him.

He CANNOT play where Lampard plays, the most he can play is as a box to box midfielder.

Nor is he good enough to start for us, so he can be expecting the bench. Which I'm sure he wouldn't mind with the highish salary we probably gave him.

I'm somewhat happy with this signing as along as he isn't considered ahead of McEachran and as long as he offers something unlike his former companion Benayoun.

He is better than Montolivo man..Why do chelsea need a slowpoke in midfield..And He isnt one of the most versatile players around there..

He's a top player, technically good, but doesn't matter now anyways.

He's technically good but he's very indecisive..Doesnt really assert himself when he's needed too atleast i've made this conclusion of what i've seen him at fiorentina..

Plus his natural position is a deep lying playmaker which Chelsea dont need i assume,since They have Mikel who'e been deployed there as a destroyer..

Anyways Meireles is a great signing..Would he deployed in a b2b role or as a trequartista?Should be the former since AVB is going to stick with 4-3-3 isnt he ?

Ahk, well i'm just going off what i've seen(which probably is alot less than a serie a fan Razz).

Fairly sure b2b but wouldn't be certain.

@jewel I'm not thrilled with the signing but I think we gotta at least be a bit positive and just see how he goes and how AVB uses him before we rate him.

Meireles isn't going to start over Ramires and Anelka isn't going to start over Sturridge. Trust me...First hand info.

Besides, AVB likes a winger who can cut in, Hulk, Sturridge.

Ramires form is too good to be dropped.
