KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum DEADLINE DAY RUMOURS

The madness is over and we've done pretty well. Although losing a bit of creative depth in the midfield we've picked up a decent back up striker and got rid of the deadwood so it's been a pretty good window. I think we will add a couple more signing in the January window too to further strengthen our squad.

Onwards and upwards and bring home some silver this season boys!

meireles didn't wanna be here so fukk him

ok just read 36 pages of transfer news, not fun but same what i said in the bellamy/meireles threads.

Bellamy is a good business replacing Ngog who I wish will have a good career at Bolton but I doubt it, hes not that good and probably never will be. Welcome back bells.

Miereles is what pi$$ed me off today because I wasn't suprised at chelsea coming back to him but the fee we have sold him for is just ridiclous, no way near his valuation in todays market. Anyway, don't wanna say much about him, let him have his nice contact at the russian clube. Goodluck.

We only made 500k on him as we paid 11.5 for him last year! He's proven he can do it in the prem so I agree the fee was too little. It should have been near the 15 mill mark I say. Disappointed he's gone but if we didn't follow through on what we agreed as a club then fair enough he feels let down. Not p1sses at him just the way that it happened!

I don't know what to say about Raul leaving, I know many of you feel the fee is too low but look at what fee Arteta went for. I think the fee for Raul is realistic seeing that he handed in a transfer request. I think he is a good player but I just don't see chelsea gelling as a team and as good a coach as Villas Boas is, I can't see him getting the maximum out of his squad.

Marko, you cannot compare Arteta with Mierleles, they are similar players maybe but Arteta has done good at a midtable club, nothing more where meireles is a top european player who has played for a number of top clubs and has proven himself at the highest level. Remains to be seen whether Arteta can be successful at arsenal but comparing these two right now sounds silly.

Meireles has shown promise but I wouldn't call him a proven premiership player. I can't remember when the last time he played 90 mins was and he had a brief scoring spell for us. I would have preffered it if he stayed but I would have been happy if we had perhaps replaced him with someone like Arteta. Arteta has been in the premiership longer and if anything is more proven in the EPL. I am not sure whether he will adapt to Arenals style of play but I think he would have fit nicely into our setup.

Either way, who cares about those 2, i am quite happy with our transfer dealings. I would have loved to see one more player signed in a attacking midfield position, but overall i am quite happy. What's your view Snakeeye?
