Agreed! He has to try and get in to the team ahead of Lampard, Mata, Essien (when he returns) & Rameires
He's Chelsea's alternative to Modric. He will start most games, until Villas-Boas finds out, like Hodgson and Kenny did, that he isn't suited to play in central midfield in the premier league.
Yeah but because he was bum buddies with AVB at Porto i have a feeling he may be more involved in the starting 11 at Chelsea than most people think. I would say he is a better player than Rameires and possibly Lampard, therefore for me he could be a starter for Chelsea.
I always thought of him as a washed up pirate with scurvy. Raaaul how did you change your name? I want to change mine to a Lucas name.
After he went the season unbeaten and won everything there was to win? If that was one of his mistakes I want to see what his successes look like.
I liked Meireles but hope he has a 'mare at Chelski I really don't think he's the sort of player who will take the Chavs to another level and decent as he is, he has issues with his game. His passing is reasonable at best and while he does show moments of real class and has definately got an eye for goal when presented with a chance, his workrate just wasn't good enough at times last year and his tackling is woeful. Although I didn't want him to go all in all it's probably not a bad bit of business for either club (they get a decent player and we get a decent price for a lad who's asked to go) and ultimately as he obviously wanted out then **** him the big tart
Really? I thought you were competing with Spuds We're shooting for a Top 3 spot However, good luck with your endeavours
good one best laugh I've had all day that Where would us football fans be without optimism eh...(Goodison probably)
