You've got a nerve calling people imbecilie's.
At least he's able to form different opinions unlike yourself and your moronic drose.
I've got many different opinionsWhat's moronic about saying we need decent players on the bench too - not just the starting 11 I know to win your respect all someone has to do is come on here and say they think Liverpool will win the league - that's moronic You act as if you own this site - you don't - your just another poster - and an awfully bad poster at that Fantastic news. Any chance you'd like to share them with us? I'm pretty sure 328 posts about the same drivel is more than enough now.

He's quicker, more lively and more likely to put the boot in than Raul but he's not a better passer.
I didn't see one of his passes reach its destination in the U21s and i saw all the games
I don't think Meireles is a superb player. he's not as good as the likes of gerrard, alonso, even mascherano and hamann - but he's better than Henderson, Lucas, Spearing, Shelvey and probably Adam too (we have to wait and see on that one) thus IMO has a place in the side

You seem to have a crazy boner for henderson, he is at best as good as meireles and I'd wager most teams would rather have meireles than henderson.

i think henderson is good, and meireles is average, imo henderson can and will become a very complete midfielder. i'd have him over meireles and aquilani any day of the week.

One very obvious advantage that Henderson have over Meireles is age. He can still be nurtured into a world class midfielder if he is given the proper guidance because he still have a lot of time on his side. Meireles on the other hand is a finished article at the age of 28. We know what is the maximum limit that we can get from Meireles. I'm not comparing who is better but since both of them will be playing in the same role , I guess 1 will have to make way for the other. In this case it's more to Henderson being the chosen one as he was bought way over his transfer value. So that shows how high King Kenny rates him if some of you say that he is King Kenny's buy. Meireles will have to settle for playing second fiddle. Either he stay on the bench or he request for a transfer. Since Liverpool are looking to offload more central midfielders , I believe Meireles will be one of the candidates unless he wants to stay as back up.
Some reports says that Liverpool and Fiorentina have agreed the transfer for Alberto Aquilani pending personal demands. Whether it is permanent or loan , I personally think Aquilani is not in the plan next season. Seriously I would be sad to see both Aquilani and Meireles goes but next season will be a season of FULL ENGLISH ASSAULT where we only face English clubs. So we need strength and full commitment in the middle of the park. Just creativity which Meireles and Aquilani can offer will not be good enough. Juan Sebastian Veron failed miserably. Andriy Shevchenko never make it. Michael Ballack was [oops]. We need someone in the mould of Dietmar Hamann and Ronnie Whelan. Combative and skillful midfielders to excel in the full domestic season ahead.

People seem to assume that just because someone is "young" they are worth lots of money and will become top class. The biggest factors are if they have the desire and the raw talent. If they haven't got that, regardless of age, they won't come to much. From what I've seen of Henderson, he is the epitome of average and does not possess any qualities that will make him worthy of his price tag. He didn't shine - he looked at home in the Sunderland team. When I first heard he was being transferred I assumed it would be to stoke or bolton for 3 or 4m. That's about his level.
Good luck to him though, and good luck to LFC in recouping our £20m in the next few years.
(looking back over my post, this could be misinterpreted to make me look like a meireles fan. for the record, i think there is very little between the 2 of them and neither would be missed)

And please let me know how you come to this conclusion ,meireles was fantastic for Liverpool last season and Henderson hasn't done anything yet and he is the now the the best player ,as I say tell me how you come to this conclusion .

Even on the rare occasion that i watched them, i had no reason or inclination to be looking out for him in particular, so I for one feel no urge to pretend I know what he's all about, unlike some. I think some people on here probably stuck on FIFA and looked at his stats in different areas and based their judgements on that!
