Raul Meireles

[Spanishfly]

Apparantly has realised a statement to say he is staying!! Good new imo, also shows that it's not a case of one in one out. Hopefully with Konk going it is now a one is **** out policy!

Good day today if we rid of Konk and keep Raul

There is already Meireles thread opened under Liverpool FC heading and I posted his latest comment there.

Perhaps this thread could be closed so we don't run 2 identical ones at the same time.

I'd rather we sold him and got someone much better in.

Meireles to Chelsea?

apologies if i've missed this elsewhere but i saw sky sports news earlier who reported that chelsea are interested in raul.

[Mostar]

Yep.

It has been trending on Twitter since yesterday.

I dont think itll happen, well my gut says that anyway. He is playing good football out there, and seems to be loved by the fans. Doubt he would leave to sit on the bench for the person that booted him out of the spain side a few years back.

… Staying in London, Chelsea are considering making a bid for Liverpool's Raul Meireles. The heavily tattooed Portuguese midfielder has seemingly fallen out of favour with Kenny Dalglish – he only came on a substitute during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Sunderland at Anfield – and, given the club's excessive collection of central players, is now available for transfer. Chelsea are frustrated over their attempts to sign Luka Modric from Tottenham Hotspur and with the manager, André Villas-Boas, acutely aware of Meireles's talents from their time together at Porto a move for the 28-year-old does seem plausible. Liverpool will, though, want close to £12m for the player. …

Lazy journalism seemingly based solely on the fact that Villas Boas was his manager at Porto.

[BrooklynRed]

Also, he's been injured and came on as a sub despite not playing pre-season, so "out of favor" is a massive stretch.

Sell one of Meireles or Aquilani to balance the squad?? 2 competing for one position is enough, never mind 4. I think they are both good players but I'd consider selling them both and going out and buying a right winger.
