Transfer Central TNC â€@TransferNewsCen

Fenerbahçe has made a pre-agreement with Raul Meireles for the future. Talks ongoing past month. (Vatan and Mulliyet) -W.

Looks like we will be saying farewell to Meireles at the end of the season. Frustrating at times but I will always appreciate his contribution. I will never forget his commitment against Barca, sacrificing his place in the CL final with a challenge that may well have saved us in the final minutes at the game.

Here's hoping he has a smashing final season.

absolute nonsense. would be more happy if the headline had been that the dude in the No 8 shirt is going to fenerbache. not miereless understands what deep lying playing is all about.

I hope not, excellent squad player, has definitely matured as a more defensive type CM, guy never used to be able to make a challenge, adds a lot of balance when he comes into the side, always does his job.

Well I hope this means Romeu will get game time because Frank and Mikel are not working at all together.

Who exactly are we proposing to play in midfield if Meireles goes?

From my count we have Lampard, Ramires, Romeu, and Mikel.

Of our young players McEachran and Chalobah, the most promising are on loan. I'm perplexed.

I would expect to see Ramires besides Mikel with Moses replacing him on the wing. But I dont see the point in this transfer, Meireles is a player I would like to see us keep.

I'd do the same but I'm not convinced Robbie will play Rambo there.

It would make sense given what we have. I'd also keep Meireles but maybe he wants games.

A few bad games and you want frank to leave? Are you forgetting what he's done for this club? Plastic much?

Not hopping on the Frank must leave bandwagon and with all due respect to his legendary status I just don't see where he fits. However how does what player has done for the Club factor in the future when he is getting handsomely rewarded for his efforts. Sentiment should play no part in keeping a player &/ rewarding them with a new contract

Meireles really can't be allowed to leave at this moment in time. Not only is he a useful player in his own right but its not as if we have a surplus of CM's. Maybe in January when we can find a replacement.

Actually, I wonder if this means Oscar will get more game time in that position, and if so then maybe it makes a little more sense.

most people know I'm not his biggest fan, but I'm still surprised we're selling him...we have an abundance of attacking players, not so many on the defensive side...and after what happened in monaco, just a few days after the better balance meireles gave against newcastle, it seems odd we're letting him go...we have Lamps, romeu, ramires and possibly oscar to play next to mikel, but with essien gone too, our options are a bit limited

Yep, this appears to be picking up pace. And like others i wasnt massivley impressed with his contribution last season but always thought he was a handy squad player to have , surprises me even more when you think how poor our midfield was in the last game and then you look back and it has to be said his partnership with Mikel in the last league game looked very promising indeed,

I just hope this means more game time for Romeu, and it certainly suggests the managment team are looking to Oscar to become a very important player foir us.

We just have to trust the club on this one.

Obviously have no idea what the clubs thoughts/plans are for this position but I find him an uncomplicated excellent squad player so would like to keep him. But, as suggested, his desire may be to have more game time and can't blame him for that...

Bollocks.

I'd rather it have been Malouda tbh.

Who will score the token screamer now Jose and Raul look to be no longer here?

Posted

Don't particular rate him, but would have thought he would have been a reasonable squad player to have. He played well against Newcastle and tbh I'd rather put him in DM than Mikel

Probably the management is trying to mould Oscar as a deep lying playmaker and play alongside a more defensive player.

I'm not sure about us 'moulding' players who we have bought because of their obviosu talents playing where they have been.

This happened with Mikel and we tried to mould him into a maka replacement.
