      I'm very surprised by this but thinking a bit better it makes sense as Porto just signed João Moutinho from Sporting who is a similar midfielder, maybe they were already looking for Meireles' replacement, I dunno.

      United were after Meireles, too.

      I think Porto signed Moutinho to replace him.

      Isn't Moutinho a bit more of an attacking midfielder?

      I'd call Meireles a genuine central midfielder. Knows his defensive duties, can create things and can attack.

      Poulsen     Gerrard
      Lucas        Meirles

      I'd prefer

      Gerrard Meirles myself

      With Cole in Nando's hole. ;D

      If it happens then fair do's, I saw a bit of Porto last year and I can't say he would be an ideal replacement, but better than some of the English sh*te we have been linked with.

      Clear to me that Gerrard will be back behind Torres which is a better position for him than central midfield.

      Cole needs to be on the wing. Either side will do as we are weak on both of them.

      I agree with that, also he's looked a lot more dangerous mainly when he's on the wings so far for Liverpool. But considering he wants to play in the middle and it seems that Roy promised him that, I'd prefer to have Meireles & Gerrard in midfield (even though none of them is exactly a defensive midfielder) than Poulsen or Lucas

      It probably means we can sell Mascherano and send Aquilani out on loan.

      Fair enough that is some line up, as long as we're not too exposed at the back, recently the defence has been too comfortable knowing that they've got a DM to rely on too.

      I don't think there would be that many that would disagree with that to be honest.
