Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

meireles >>>> adam

Hearing that Meireles to Chelsea is a done deal.

nah he'll be gone surely, they just haven't spoken to press yet. we are fucking morons for selling him, what value is 12m to sell a good player to a potential rival. furious.

xpost

yup, mental to let meireles go

expect pics of your bloody stump asap ro

Meireles deal must've been done already, ronan's right. Sad to lose him, I hope he gets treated better at Chelsea.

ah now

'potential rival'

Tbf, ye didn't sell to us or arsenal

do u think has been that badly treated?

You know how Man City have been accused of signing up loads of players just to stop other people signing them? Well, if you *could* postpone the medicals until after transfer deadline day, and then cancel the transfer on the basis of a failed medical, you might just about be able to manufacture a situation where you 'signed' every top target of your rivals with money that you didn't have, only for them all to mysteriously 'fail' the medical once the deadline was safely out of the way, you pay nothing and none of your rivals gets the players they wanted.

I doubt you could get away with this for very long, though.

Not personally, but undeniably and unjustly snubbed. We were selling him at a loss 'til the last minute ffs.

Gutted about meireles. Rate him only behind Suarez and Downing out of all our signings of last couple of years. Will make Chelsea better. Fuck!

just seems v strange that so much hyped BRITISH PRODUCT is bought at inflated prices and meireles sold at cost after a good season

still not confirmed but must be DONE

my hand amputation bet was if we swapped meireles for benayoun. my right hand remains safe thanks be to god, not least at this time of night.

xpost yeah i can't get how meireles is only worth 12m. he changed the game at arsenal. it really takes the sheen off a good summer of spending for liverpool

dowie feels sorry for arry spurs ave lost crouchy, we really needed cahill to replace him

Sundlund confirm year loan of bendtner. Good work

Sunderland have Hutton in on full transfer and Jenas on loan. Put Brucey on your Christmas card list Darragh.

He's a little bit wimpy, that's all I'll say against him, but it's not like that wouldn't have been covered and he'd really suit our midfield as it's shaping up.

PAPERWORK DRAMA AT STOKE

ffs

Something to with FSG not wanting to give Raul that pay rise?

I thought they'd gone to villa?

*to do

meirelles deal comfirmed

pandemic that's villa

qpr signed ferdinand jr apparently

oh my mistake
xp

That's Chelsea off the hate list officially. I need a new devil's club, thinking about targeting West Brom.

Wow, we just turned down FORTY MILLION POUNDS for a player who hates us and will be sulky and underwhelming all season.

If Chelsea had kept Yossi that would have been 4 ex Pool players I could have supported.

fuckim. Delighted we took the stand tbh. Delighted tevez looks to be on his arse til jan too.

talk that it was 15m for meireles on bbc, would make it a bit more palatable. henderson at least played well on saturday and i suppose can be deployed on the wing. still.

What a last half hour that was!

oops no they say 12m now.

Aye, €15m / £12-13m

have been out for a couple hours but have read thread:

1. wenger has 3 years left.
2. bellemy did indeed play for liverpool. remember the golf club incident.
3. if chelsea get meireles then that is a good signing imo and liverpool have fucked up. not that they care, they have jordan henderson.
4. really excited to see kakuta at bolton. hope he lives up to the hype. seems like forever since he was the new henry.
5. has no-one bought cahill? surely getting 12m is more important to bolton than a year of a decent player they already bought a replacement for (wheater lol).
6. hope bendtner has a trific season.

Oh, and Philipp Degen's contract has been cancelled.

bellemy did indeed play for liverpool. remember the golf club incident.

Kind of, but it's all getting mixed up with Joey Barton beating up his team mate and stuff.

Another in LFC's line of free transfers who turn out to be shit;see Voronin, Jovanovic, Cole

xp

Bellamy scored in a victory at the Nou Camp! Never forget.

drenthe to everton done

i think bellamy could be good now we don't have rafa mind-raking anyone who isn't one of the three/four players he trusts.

genuinely can't get my head around the meireles sale. to alienate one first class midfielder for no obvious reason is careless, to do it again only a couple of years later is perverse.

bellamy has seemed fine attitude wise at his last three clubs tbh

I like Belle Amie.

blackburn scott dann fee 7.7m. they dropping ryan nelsen then?

Rafa and Bellamy got on fine, but we needed to sell him to fund the Torres deal.

Sissoko?

Nelson is 33 and Samba's contract is coming up next year or in 2 iirc, so Dann is a good signing imo.

Apparently Meireles to Chelsea was done at 9pm.

The publication of the transfer request was clearly a propaganda move

yeah not too pleased about meireles going. apparently he was looking for a pay rise?
