raul meireles

>>But what we needed was someone who'd help us link the midfield to attack.

that;s Raul

good signing for you

didnt think that was needed as until recently this was a sesible and mature thread until you burst in tauting liverpool fans and making claims that rauk meireles which are untrue as most people will know that suarez and gerrard are clearly more important to liverpool

What we needed was a player capable of asserting himself on and dominating midfields

Honestly I'm extrenmely happy with this signing. £12 million is a bargain if you consider the ludicrous prices we've seen thrown around this window. And we've left Spurs straddled with a player who wants out

Think Meireles' age actually works in our favour, gives us a chance to blood in McEachran

Don't think he's what Chelsea need if they're looking for a creative mid. More of good forward movement when it comes to his strength. .

We needed Modric or Moutinho to challenge united for the title but that has not happened. Hopefully we make top 4.

Thats a certain. We just havnt signed enough Matas' to win the title. City have signed Nasri and Silva for less than £55mil. If we had those two we would be on our way to titles galore.

I am genuinely gutted. Raul is quality. He started off slow because RH played him out wide. However his link up play, passing and shooting are top. Je has definitely gone too cheap. Unfortunately I have no doubt it my mind he will be a success for Chelsea. Just wish we had sturridge come our way

Don't know why Chelsea didn't go for Aquilani TBH. Think he's more creative compared to Modric. One of the most creative CMs I've ever seen.

Raul best attributes are this ability to make well timed runs into the box and his shooting. He is tidy in possession and can hold the ball well under pressure.

He is a decent passer of the ball too, but I wouldn't describe him as a creative player.
