So how do we pronounce this?

MUR REL LES?

I once said Chelsea had signed Essien but said it as ISON, and was was laughed at for a good few weeks.

Now he has to play Meireles-Gerrard in the middle
[/quote]

Doubt it, they're both a bit similar in style by all accounts.

It'll probably be Poulsen and Meireles, with Gerrard or Cole ahead.
[/quote]

Yeah, it would be a mistake to shoe-horn Meireles as a pure DM like Mascherano.

*Hopefully* we're trying to change our playing style instead of tryng to do a like-for-like switch.

We defo needed a bearded one in the midfield.
 
Meireles shone for Queiroz's side at the World Cup in the summer, and the former Manchester United assistant and Real Madrid coach told Goal.com that Liverpool supporters have much to look forward to.

“I think Raul Meireles is a fantastic player in the national team," said Queiroz.

"He’s one of the pillars of the Portugal team. He’s a great player and an excellent professional.

“He has all the conditions to be a success in English football at Liverpool. They have just signed the services of a player who stands out for his application, his professional dedication, his technical and footballing quality, and will be very successful for the Liverpool team.â€

Meireles, 27, had six successful years at Porto; where he won four Portuguese league titles, three Portuguese Cups and three Portuguese Supercups. During that time he played 153 times in all competitions, scoring 15 goals, and has played 38 times for Portugal, scoring six goals.

“He’s a box-to-box midfielder, he’s hard-working, creative, is a good finisher, he’s consistent, very solid, a great team player,†said Queiroz.

Meireles’ qualities also extend to his approach off the pitch, according to the 57-year-old, who said: “He’s a great person who is serious, he’s a player who has a lot of capacity to communicate. He’ll be a great reinforcement for the Liverpool team.â€

But Queiroz also warned against any expectation that Meireles could contribute in the same way as the tough-tackling Mascherano had in his time at Liverpool.

He added: “Every player needs his space and time. He’s Raul Meireles, not Javier Mascherano.

“He’s a player who plays very well at both ends of the pitch, is good at defensive duties, but is also an attacking player with a very good nose for goal. He plays very well defensively and in attack. He’s a complete player.â€

Meireles will be expected to strike up a good understanding with Liverpool's captain and midfield stalwart Steven Gerrard, and Queiroz insists this will not be a problem.

“All great players can play with great players," said Queiroz. "Steven Gerrard is a grat player, and Raul Meireles is a great player, too.â€

So, cos I've not really seeing him (did watch half a portugal game during the world cup, but can't remember him) can somebody tell me if he is more or less our new Alonso?

I would read the post above yours. I think Queiroz has provided the best possible description.
 
Have anyone seen him play on a regular basis?

I must admit I've never been impressed with him but I actually thought he was one of few Portuguese players who could hold his head up high after the WC.

He's certainlhy a no-nonsense tackler and as such he'll be much more likely to adapt than say Aqualegs.

It also seems that he's got quite a shot on him. He could perhaps be a bit more like the Lucas-player we were once promised.

I'm excited.
 
Meireles + Konchesky + Striker > Mascherano

I just knew we'd come out stronger... I KNEW IT!!!!
 
is he more of an attacking midfielder or a defensive midfielder? the reason I ask is, is he more likely to be partnered with gerrard or poulsen?

Which funnily is the equivalent to the ammount of goals he'll score on his debut.

You mean, like a Portuguese Gerrard?

More or less.
 
Maybe by the end of the season we'll be referring to Gerrard as the "English Mereileiels"
