I don't have a clue about this guy but if Chelsea and Manu wanted him then that's good enough for me.
[/quote]

they obviously didn't want him *that* much.
[/quote]

Yeah, but even that someone considered him of a quality to be linked with them makes him a step up from say, Konchesky.

lol
 
Re: Meireles.

Don't know an awful lot about this guy to be honest. Seen him play couple times and he seems tidy...is he box to box?
 
Re: Meireles.

What kind of body shape does he have, CP30 (Hamman), R2D2 (Mascherano), Metal Mickey (Molby) or Big Trak (Spearing)?
 
Re: Meireles.

YAYAY! I go to the gym for an hour and good news happens! Makes for a nice change. I don't even know much about him but I'm happy.

That's pretty much how I feel about it. Until I've seen him play, I'm going to assume that he's the answer to all of our prayers.

Meireles is average.

[/quote]

Well he isnt anything special but its not like we are going to go and spend 20mil or so on a defensive midfielder like diarra or cambiasso etc. So for around 10mil Meireles or Khedira would be great.

Also the defence is that dodgy, Skrtel and Carra alternate and Agger is a good player. As for johnson and figueroa they can help attack. Not that defensive but ahhwell

So who do you guys think has been most impressive so far??

Sanchez looked amazing for Chile..
Yaya Toure dominated the midfield against Portugal.. That being said.. ive always been a huge fan of Meireles.
Honda was very impressive for Japan against some VERY big lads.
Van de Wiel(sp?) young right back for Holland looked very nimble

Letall> Veloso is one, but not the one I'm thinking of...er, I'm not being very helpful, I am sure his name will come to me though
[/quote]

Raul Meireles? He usually plays well but he's not that young anymore (28 I think) and his physique might be a concern.

Spain's Javi Martinez is another one and we've been linked with him last summer, I haven't seen him play but some site members used to rave about him.

Who would you change or what formation would you prefer?
 
Re: Meireles.

exciting news, let's hope he's as motherfuckingly excellent as the last iberian midfielder we signed for £10.7m.

it does make the poulsen signing a bit more mystifying, though, unless of course the rumours of lucas fucking off are true, which would be quite blissfully awesome.

something like:

------------------reina

johnson---carra---agger---konchesky


---------poulsen---meireles


maxi----------gerrard--------cole


----------------torres



does actually look reasonably promising, if still lacking in width.

I would like to slip Maxi in somewhere too. Perhaps Maxi right and Cole left or vice versa Dirk does not feature in these sides I note

I'm not really disagreeing with your team. Just remarking that on paper it doesn't look great - we could do with better out wide and arguably in midfield as well.

Yeah, George... how do you know? According to the Guardian its a done deal... seems odd to be doing medicals at 1 in the morning, though...

Are you mad? Its 28th August. Of course he can sign at 1am
 
Re: Meireles.

Tomorrow praps.
This is the thing with footy everyone one was tearing their tits off before I went out for a pint, and now we magiced a decent player out of the hat
Sort a striker , get shut of Lucas and bring in the Pit Bull and we are in a much better position,

regards
 
Re: Meireles.

The lad isnt the greatest player in the world or owt, but its night and day starting the season with Lucas and Poulsen or Him in the side.
i really hope this is kosher.
