Why didn't we go after Meireles?

He was the perfect B2B backup material ... Very Happy

Lass to them and Meireles to us, both parties happy Very Happy

Meireles would be benched though, he would not be happy.

Do you think he'd be a starter for us?

Well it's not clear if he would tbh, maybe he was promised first team action at the Bridge. I wouldn't be surprised if he was not starting for Chelsea too.

No mate, it's obvious he won't start.

No way he starts for Chelsea. However, since Chelsea plays a 4-3-3 exclusively, they need more mids and he would be higher in the pecking order just because of formation.

Ramires isn't exactly untouchable.

Ramires is pretty untouchable to me. Not a pretty player to watch... but does all the dirty work. Right now, he's what Coentrao is to us... but lacking Coentrao's final ball ability. That's Ramires' weakness.

Oh yes he is. At least when compared with Meireles.

Yeah, if he had a good final ball he would have been superb, but I guess his runs make up for it (which often sees him running ahead of the strikers even, which is how we got our second goal against Norwich).

Meireles' work rate is amazing. Just watch.

He'll probably get the nod aswell, Portuguese connections ya know. =P

EDIT: Just realised this was the Real Madrid section. Embarassed

by El Chelsea Fuerte Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:25 pm

Bet he's a poor man's Ramires in work rate. :coffee:
