A "winger" who hates to play out wide, and hence drifts in central where we allready are overcrowded... Or a back up in a central position were we allready have to many covers which we cant get rid off... Silly idea.

Whilst his best position is undoubtedly in the hole, he's pretty decent on the right as well.
Yes, he may cut in, but with width provided by Downing on the left, and constant movement from Suarez, I don't think it's really a biggie.
The bottom line is he's creative, he can pick those defence-splitting passes, he can score goals and he's a decent player.
If he's cheap (fee and wages) I'd be more than happy to bring him back

I've been told there's something to this story and don't be surprised if we make a move for Bellamy.

Wouldn't want him unless he's a straight swap for Cole.

Nope. Yossi is not the quality of player I'd want the club to be spending money on right now, particularly when it's just to strengthen the bench.
A swap would Cole would make sense.
It would be stupid to release Cole and pay him the rest of his contract (millions), then to go spend even more money (millions) on Yossi (who's on very good wages) just so we can put him on the bench.

He said on Twitter that even though if he doesnt know he will stay or not he has decided to give Mata his number 10. His lucky number is 15. Our 15 in the squad is empty.

surely we won't be stupid enough to sell meireles to chelsea ? Why would we try and strengthen a rival ? Argh i hope this is all shite .
I'd suggest quoting the Chavs a silly fee for Meireles, but Abramovich might call our bluff and accept. Best to simply reject the idea IMO.
On the Yossi front, there was something on the radio today about Tottenham also being interested.

we can't be that stupid, we can't!
*cough* poulsen 5m *cough*
okay, we can be that stupid but you'd hope not in this case.

He'll be better off at Lille.
if we miss out on bellamy, sell meireles (to a rival no less) and sign bennynoon, I think I will literally weep.

just imagine how effective he would have been if he didn't go back to turn the defender again.

Problem is half of Yossi's "successful dribbles" are probably going back towards our own goal.

i dont want Yossi. He spurned us for chelsea now can't get a game. if he want's to go anywhere he should look further down
I hope the Yossi speculation is BS. He's past his best, been injured for too long (and will probably spend more time injured if he stays in the PL) and is not the way forward for us. Let him go to Spurs, Lille whoever. Not us.
Meireles on the other hand can still be a valuable player for us. I hope he stays.
I find it amazing to read that he might go to Chelsea looking to play more. Really?! They've got Lampard, Mata, Malouda, Kalou, Mikel, Ramires. Why would he go there?
