Say's who?
Why do we need players who take GBP 60k~80k a week just to sit on the bench?
Aurelio has lost yards of pace and is not looking as sharp as he once was. If he is not playing regular EPL games, he will only deteriorate....sell him while he still has value....
As for Meireles, we could easily get GBP12~15 million for him. We could sell him and pony up a few quid more to get a top class central defender like Per Metersacker who is currently available.

Agree with you about the sales of Aurelio especially he is like a glass, so fragile.

However i do not agree on the sales of Meireles. A lot of people keep saying that our midfield is overcrowded but i do not think so. From King Kenny summer signing and from the pre-season friendly, i would expect most of the time King Kenny will play 4-5-1 formation rather than 4-4-2 formation which most of the fan wanted.

Currently in midfield we had Gerrard, Meireles, Cole, Henderson, Spearing, Adam, Poulsen, Shelvey, Aquilani and Lucas but i think that Cole and Poulsen will be sold out while Shelvey will be loan out. Furthermore i think Henderson will be playing more on the right midfield than in the centre position as currently we only had 1 back up winger only which is Maxi and during Valencia friendly King Kenny are placing him on the right midfiled.

This will leave us only with Gerrard, Meireles, Spearing, Adam, Aquilani and Lucas. Which i think is just nice which has 3 strong centre midfield as our 1st team and 3 strong backup in the centre.

Not really.I dont underestimate his worth because i know he only plays well when the team is playing well.When the team is poor or when suarez is out
his performance dips immediately.

I have said this many times.But to play in the wing position,you need to have pace and take on defenders.Eg barnes,c.ronaldo etc who like to cut inside,open up space and shoot.
Either that or you should be the classic english wide man,putting in crosses from the byline although you cant run at defenders.Beckham,ray houghton etc
There are some who are a cross of both types: david silva,giggs,downing.

So can you tell me what quality of a wide man does maxi possess?He looks best as AM but we have many players who can do it better than him.
meireles,gerrard,kuyt.

He may not be the best winger that we had but he is definitely now the best backup winger who do not complain when sitting in the bench that we had now. Therefore, i prefer him to stay in and provide backup to our team when our 1st team winger injury than selling him off now and leave our team exposed when there is an injury crisis.
