For one of them to be sold though, an asking price has to be met, and with both valued way above £10million, the amount of buyers will inevitably be reduced. With the lack of interest apparent in regards to Alberto at the moment, the media have put 2 + 2 together and have surmised that Raul Meireles is more than likely going to be the fall guy.
I hope he isn’t, as although Meireles took his time to settle in the English game last season, he gradually had more of an impact as the campaign went on. He certainly benefited from the appointment of Kenny Dalglish, as there was more attacking play under the Scot, which is certainly what the Portuguese international was more accustomed to playing for Porto.
At 28, he is at the peak of his career, and after having a settling in season at the club, he should be at his best next season if he plays in a more central role. One of the reasons he didn’t necessarily always do so well last season was because he was moved around different positions, on the left and onto the right, hopefully he will be given a more central role when he plays in the upcoming campaign.

Raul is a decent player who took his time to adjust to the EPL. It would be crazy to let him go, i would suggest Aqua is favorite for the off. Aqua is also a decent player maybe the two mentioned are a bit light weight & injury prone. It`ll be very interesting come 4 weeks.
Balanced article.

Aqua made a much bigger impact in less games than Meireles, and I hope it’s him who stays. Meireles is also more lightweight and worse in the tackle. He is a very decent player tho and I won’t be upset if he stays.
We need a stronger physical presence in the midfield and a higher rate of efficiency. It would be ridicolous if this guy stays and KK would not make an approach for M. Sissoko.
Nicola another midfielder, please don’t make me laugh. I think we now have adequate depth in midfield and should look to strengthen other areas of the team, YNWA!
Nicola’s right… we definitely need another Masch to win the ball back for the attacking players we now have…
I dont know how this is gonna play out yet but am very sure 1of them will be moving.
I like Aquilani. I think he’s d midfielder with the most creativity n flair, but I also gotta say he has no respect for the club.
Whichever 1 of them leaves, I’ll wouldn’t be sad.
