If the allegations are true, certainly he has every right to be pissed knowing that the likes of Henderson is paid more than him.
C'mmon let's not kid ourselves. The reason why Meireles move is solely monetary in nature. The same applies with Nasri. Do you seriously think Meireles will get regular football in Chelsea? Do you think Nasri really wanted to join Man City to have a greater chance to win trophies? I don't think so. May be one of the reason but not "THE" reason. It's always about the money. Afterall, a footballers lifespan is like 10-12 years at most and only 5 years to make it or break it in terms of money.
feels sad for crouch coz report says that he was threatened to be left out of the first 25 man squad come registration if he insist in not moving to Stoke.They keep Modric against his will and kick crouch out for 10m.

woah...
so what are the ins and outs of the clubs?
As for Meireles, good player to have, but his attitude this season leaves alot to be desired with his middle finger at Arsenal and acting like a total prick at Exeter.
No hard feelings against him not gonna wish him well either.
and we got in Bellamy! Fantastic! looking forward to him playing against Stoke now
I do see we'll be getting someone else this January window, with the Meireles money
All in all a good work done by Comolli and all!

Someone pointed out that Roman has invested more in LFC than Hicks & Gillett did
haha this is funny. im suprised none of you mentioned coates. noted he's kinda unknown to most of you, but mind you, im really really excited with his prospect. more excited with him than danny wilson tho i hope the latter proved me wrong in time to come.

Regardless of whatever REASON they left, does it really relevant that much in this discussion?
The point is, they all left to join other teams because they figure they will have a better chance of winning silverware elsewhere but not in Liverpool.
You think by moving to Chelsea, Meireles will get to start in more games than he was in Liverpool? Of course not, he will be benched just like another squad player just like how he was in Liverpool. But he certainly feel more comfortable and higher chance of winning having surrounded by more quality players around him.
Why Nasri or Cesc's departure are deemed irrrelevant? They left Arsenal with the same thing in mind, to join a stronger army hence giving them a better chance of winning. So does Torres. Mind you , Mascherano joined Barca to warm their bench eventhough he was a starting 11 in Liverpool.
Put yourself in Meireles's position, you have been offered a chance to move to a stronger team, will you take the plunge? I'm not alluding that we are not on par with Chelsea, but unless we start winning games consistently and silverware and able to KEEP HOLD of our good players, our players will continued to be poached by rivals without any loose change.
Latest News: Chelsea has successfully bought 3 of Liverpool's player who scored against them in this two seasons. Right now they will not have to worry anymore in the future match against Liverpool.

It's kinda sad the rent boyz didn't table a 50 mil bid for Bruno Cheyrou (the next Zidane, according to Houllier's prophecy) when he whacked home the winner in Stamford Bridge 7 seasons ago.
