Liverpool fan here, bit gutted to have lost Raul but I'm not sure why. He isnt an out and out holding midfielder, hes not a box to box type, he isnt particularly creative and hes not very pacey, not really sure what you'd class him as tbh, he might come good for you though, who knows.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

I too am a Liverpool fan, and I think £12m is reasonable for him tbh. When he was on his day, he was very good, but when he wasn't I barely new he was on the pitch. Not coming here to rant guys, I actually wish him all the best of luck. The Ed's have said on the Liverpool page that he was promised a pay rise in which he never got, so I can understand his frustration and wanting to leave. Anyways, take care of him lads, he's a good ol' boy ;)

Ridiculous how people on here have been moaning about how Modric isn't good enough and then we go and land an excellent bargain in Meireiles and those same people are whining how Modric is world class. Don't see how he can't become a world class player simply because he doesn't play for us.

Believable5 Unbelievable2

You're wrong!

Agree0 Disagree0

How am I wrong? I'm just stating that the same people who were dismissing Modric as 'average' are now saying he's a world class player. Anyway man we've got meireles now we best get behind him and the rest of the team.
End of of the day were all blues fans so no point in arguing. :D

Meireles maybe not in the same league as some of the players we've been linked too but is still a decent addition at the price we've paid. Don't know why some posters are seriously doubting his talent, is a good player imo and plays in an area we are short on. Josh is a fantastic talent but isn't strong enough to come in and play every week? Needs another year to learn and strengthen and then come into the first XI next year. He has virtually zero PL experience, it's naive to think he can come in and perform week in week out ...

31 Aug 2011 23:16:09
I personally am happy with the Meireles deal, while I realise that he is now Modric, he is still a very good player, and one that could fill the creative problem we have for the short term. AVB would not have signed him if he didn't think he could be a good player for the club.

Believable2 Unbelievable7

Me too he's a quality player Who weighs in with some spectacular goals. At 12 -15m I think he is a steal.

Agree0 Disagree0

A steal for lfc lol

Very poor amateurish transfer dealing by Chelsea, we need a decent midfielder and got nothing , well if you think Lampard and Mikel are going to get Chelsea firing dream on. On the last 3 performances can't see me spending much money watching Chelsea . Honestly think , Chelsea should have had a contingency plan for Modric not signing . Come jan it will be too late , because our midfield are too slow and predictable. Chelsea now have egg on their face over the Modric saga , and if Togo to watch Chelsea and Kalou is playing I swear I will Give up until he has gone !

Believable9 Unbelievable3

All I can say is Thank God we didn't get mugged by Spurs over Modric. If it's true that Spurs turned down £40mill, they must be f**king mad!!

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 23:13:55
too all you fans saying Gutted about Raul Meireles, all i have to say is this maybe he wasnt fantastic at liverpool but we play different football so he may be a big hit lets stay positive, its live if Shevchenko went to the likes of Asneral he would have done better it maybe like that but in reverse he may do very well for us. plus he did look good when he scored against us last year!

Bed time for us. It looks like AVB has been asleep for the past couple of months too while we were all stating the obvious. Well, there is going to be a sudden awakening this season for CFC.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

How midfield ain't just not good enough they are the slowest in the premier , would rather with me hair grow then watch Mkel.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 21:53:38
Why are people panicking about signings? In the last 8 months, we have signed luiz, torres and mata, and have Sturridge maturing into a first team player. Bossingwa looks back to his best as well. Yes, our midfield has looked slow in the first few games, but the team is still settling. People forget how little the first part of the season shows about your team. Have faith - we don't need to panic buy like Arsenal. Lamps scores 15-20 goals every season barring rare injury periods. Luiz looks awesome, as does Mata. And there's space for the kids to start breaking into the side. Looks good for Chelsea's long term hopes if you ask me

Believable3 Unbelievable2

The point is our midfield and right wing aint good enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Aug 2011 21:47:11
No signings for us and a top four finish if we are lucky, how come arsenal can move so quick and make deals, yet we are a better club are so slow to move.

when roman took over he bought players to play drogba esien ferreira carvalho cole lampard and loads of others why now does he buy for the future and go stale in the present i know he has spent a lot in the last 6 months over 100 million but we need things fixed know i dont get it and if we dont achieve what he expects then goodbye avb who i believe could be our sir alex if he gives him time so in six months time when we could possibly 3 or 4 in the league who is to blame,people on here say kalou anelka and malouda need to go i believe lampard and terry are finished and they need to go i know they sell shirts and are the heartbeat for 10 years but terry lampard drogba are the cause, lamps was a real servant but has to go terry legend but is turning into carragherdrogba is a bad influence on torres get rid thanks for listening gareth

31 Aug 2011 20:37:04
What is wrong with the people at our club that deal with these transfers.We contribute to the players wages as loyal fans and can see where the squad is weak,we have no pace and no width also no creativity in centre attacking midfield.So what do we do,we send players out on loan and don't bring any in.What are we getting by sending benayoun out on loan.What I'm trying to say is by sending out a young player,they are gaining experience.But benayoun going on loan is not helping Chelsea at all.Selling him for £5m makes more sense.All this after AVB said we are short in numbers in midfield.Roman is a billionaire why they he'll are we trying to play hardball with teams because now we are left with the stale squad from last year.I'm not saying spend hundreds of millions but we are playing catchup,are squad is not of the standard of city and utd.Our club would not go bust or fall foul of uefa rules by signing sneijder 35m on wages of 200k,hazard 30m.What are we waiting for.Let's wait until January then realise we messed up and buy these players then,when it's too late.the people who deal with our transfers are shocking

Believable0 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2011 20:08:17
it looks like we are turning into arsenal, why build for the future if you are not winning everything now? i think sundays result proved that just buying youth doesnt work, and hopefully AVB will bring in a quality CAM/ winger tonight, if not i fear for the worst....

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2011 19:54:49
What a joke. weve signed 3 quality players but still left with the old boys, and guess what no new signing today and other than Benayoun no one is leaving. and a loan deal at that. unbelievable. So who have we missed out on:
De Bryne
Perriera
Modric
I personally would have taken Arteta or someone else who can be creative other than Modric. The only thing our lot will win this year will be their free bus passes and zimmers. Mid table at best. Def not champions league for us. It seems we can't compete and will end up in a dog fight

Believable4 Unbelievable3

31 Aug 2011 19:41:01
I belive we are trying to get players in, but not sure we will, it seems as we are after decent/proven players and simply there clubs dont want to sell or we cant match citys wages. We have made some good signings so far and i am keeping my fingers crossed we get someone special in.

Believable2 Unbelievable1

31 Aug 2011 19:35:05
starting to get fed up with the lack of creative midfielder signings, does the club not see that that was our problem last season and was the reason why we didnt win the league? if no creative mid is brought in i fear the same will happen again, and we will probably be another manager down....its a joke.

Believable6 Unbelievable1

31 Aug 2011 19:15:36
Joe Cole's taken the number 26 shirt at Lille, i probably wrong nut i though that was Eden Hazard's number. does this mean he's moving or just taken another number. Thanks if you know anything about it.

wot is it with this club! am a £500 a week builder and i can see wot is needed at the club but yet the top boys at the club cant! its a joke! roman bangs on about champions league and this squard is no where near good enuf! this team is weak but yet am hearin things like yossi,sturridge,malouda,anelka could be leaving! its got to the point where its just making me laugh! there is so much to do at this club to many players who just walk into this team got no compitions for places and the players are just going threw the montions! drogba is finished! torres is just a joke! kalou should be stackin shelves at tesco! malouda goes missin for half the season! terry has lost it! do i need to go on! revamp this team for god sake its to old! GET UR WALLET OUT ROMAN! OR SOD OFF! {Ed002's Note - So the efforts made over the summer were not good enough for you - Sanchez, Pastore, Neymar. Lukaku, Mata, Romeu a waste?}

Believable4 Unbelievable3

There is no way that you are a Chelsea fan if you are telling Roman to get his wallet out or sod off! Do you not remember how much this man has spent for Chelsea during his time at the club. How you can accuse him of not spending money is disgraceful!

No further signings. Still the club has not addressed the main problem with the team. A midfield 3 of Mikel, Ramires and Lampard is just to bland and predictable. As good as Mata is we needed another creative spark.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

31 Aug 2011 18:16:32
I feel we no longer have the squad to challenge utd,city or even Liverpool this year.we desperatly need to add to our squad in the next six hours.The players we have are not good enough( kalou,malouda,benayoun,bosingwa(who is playing well now but does not produce week in week out)essien is out for six months,lampard is on his last legs but been a great player for years.Bids have been placed for ganso,neymar,pastore and others but have all openly said they are not interested in us,so why are we holding out for players that don't want to play for us.Sneijder,hazard,gotoze(spelling)are players that would take us the next level.I just feel we are going backwards,we have purchased some quality youngsters so let's give them a chance,you only have to look at utd against arsenal.there team was full of young english talent.We missed out on a complete diamond in phil jones.Since roman has taken over,our expectations have rocketed and I just feel we no longer have the quality to compete.

Hi Ed,
I really dont understand our club CFC transfer policy. Why are we waiting till the last minutes to make signings when this can happen at the start of the season. Why are waiting till end and let clubs squeeze extra 4-5 millions from us. If just a new manager has to decide on who come or goes then why have we keeping so many mgmt team in our clubs the likes of technical director, Charmain etc. See clubs at barcelona and man u, they already have their targets decided even before may be summer. (jones from blackburn, fabregas etc to give example.) And to compare us we do random buying os 50m on torres in summer who just has scored 1 goal till now. I am not angry but just worried with the future nothing else. Whoever comes or goes in this or next or next transfer window i still will support my club CHELSEA. I just hope some one from chelsea higher mgmt are reading this site. Thanks Ed, you are doing a great job! I hope you understand my thwarting statements as you also love football and CFC as much i do..

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Aug 2011 17:08:27
Really hope Chelsea pull something out of the bag, and that we ain't put all our eggs in one basket trying to sign Modric. It's not AVB's fault but the Chelsea coaching staff, technical directors etc, should have had the foresight to see that our midfield as Been lacking for 2 seasons and was very bad last season. Chelsea have a slow , boring, sideways passing midfield , surely this must have been picked up ? No more midfielders coming in tonight , I predict 5th come May !

And the CL situation is he can play in round of 16, just can't play in group stages, will most likely be Ribery instead of Modric.

31 Aug 2011 14:11:43
I would have to call this transfer window a failure. We haven't bought a creative midfielder, have we? We lost our target Pastore to PSG, made Modric bid public to never materialize, failed in Neymar and Sanchez bids.

Also didn't move any contract of the expiring ones - Anelka, Kalou, Bosingwa.

Although we got Lukaku and Mata (a fallback from di Maria), that doesn't really solve our starting 11 options. We are stacking for the future and leave the kids to gain experiance elswhere. When did that pan out in our favour last time? Aaaa never?

We still have got 9 hours to go. It makes no sense whatsoever keeping everything to the last minute.

Kalou is like a puppet. Chelsea is throwing him everywhere. I think AVB is ready to give him for free. Spurs did their job. Modric is 20m player. By rejecting the bids the price is now doubled. It is bad for the team when Roman wants to bring someone. Hazard prefers Spain. If we will bring him we should pay double price. If we look at Man United players, they are playing not for money. They are proud of being in squad, whereas some players in Chelsea seem to be there only for money. This is my opinion. If we want to beat United and City, we have to change mentality first and players' attitude.

Believable11 Unbelievable2

As a United fan (and i'm not here to squabble boys, just on Holiday - everyone seems to have gone to bed in England so i've no new posts on the United page haha..) I agree with you in a sense.

However it's easy to spot the players who care. Drogba for example, as much as I hate him - he obviously cares deeply about being a Chelsea players. It shows everytime I see him play. This summer, with Torres in the picture now, he could've handed in a transfer request and headed off to Anhzi to be paid 200k a week but he hasn't. He's staying, to fight someone 7 years younger for his spot in the team. That's caring!
