clintdempsey Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Meireles would be one of the best and most important signings since Robert and Bellamy for us. Absolutely crucial to have a good DM. And the thing with Meireles is that he's a very good and tidy footballer as well. 2 goals and 2 assists in 12 games in the league so far, and 3 assists in 6 games in the CL. I would be pleased if we just managed to sign him in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Sounds like one of the numerous other random players we are linked with but never had any intention of signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 It probably is as well. After all these years I'm still getting frustrated at being linked to players (in this instance a VERY GOOD player) that we have no intention at all of signing. But it makes sense I guess, us being linked to players from Spain and Portugal when you look at our last transfer window. That said, Meireles would be an immense signing for us, and probably a cult hero aswell... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 was saying to WBCP earlier, man united have 11 midfielders (ronaldo, nani, giggs, anderson, scholes, hargreaves, carrick, tosic, park, fletcher, o' shea). surely they wont mind lending us one of them?? realisitcally, we're talking park, o' shea or tosic but even they might be out of our league.

Cajun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 O'Shea is more a defender isn't he? Maybe someone like Tosic but I think we probably pissed of Manchester United when we loaned Rossi and he barely played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLes9 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Is Bresciano any good? poor man's Jonas imo Completely different players. Bresciano is a 'box to box' centre midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Is Bresciano any good? poor man's Jonas imo Completely different players. Bresciano is a 'box to box' centre midfielder. Thought he played wing-forward in a 4-3-3 for Palermo. Then again, this was two years go when they played us in Europe, so I could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LucasUnger Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 He’s struggling, but Newcastle go for Manchester City's Jo By Sportsmail Reporter Last updated at 9:51 PM on 11th January 2009 * Comments (0) * Add to My Stories Newcastle are interested in taking Jo on loan from Manchester City until the end of the season, six months after the Brazil striker moved to Eastlands in an £18million deal. Jo has scored just one Barclays Premier League goal and is being offered to several clubs, but there may be problems with a work permit. Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear has not ruled out reviving a swap deal with Middlesbrough involving Mido and Alan Smith. Manchester City's Jo On the move? Manchester City's Jo challenges Paris St Germain's Sakho Mamadou More... * NEWCASTLE NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB * MAN CITY NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB * Furious Owen hits back at Jose jibe as Newcastle striker insists he's not past it * City first up with £8m bid for Newcastle's Given If City boss Mark Hughes fails to land Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given, he would consider a move for Chelsea's Carlo Cudicini. Portsmouth have enquired about taking their former striker Benjani on loan from City. He will fall down the pecking order if Hughes signs Roque Santa Cruz and Craig Bellamy. City are waiting to hear from West Ham after raising their offer for Bellamy to £10m, but are pessimistic about landing his team-mate Scott Parker. City could let Richard Dunne leave and Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp would welcome the opportunity to take him to White Hart Lane after showing interest in him for Pompey last summer.

toontownman Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Linked with a loan move for Jo from Man City. Could be a masterstroke or terrible decision. Not much to lose if its a loan though. As much as I wouldnt want to lose Given, Johnson and Onouha and a couple of million would be great comfort, infact might work better in the long run. Bresciano is getting on a bit, was a decent player though for CM. Raul Meireles is by far the most exciting, we were tipped to be signing a 10m midfielder.. surely not though... Know nothing about Tom De Mul, another right winger would be nice though, especially if geremi is off. Lovenkrands is a weird one, still dont know where he would fit in unless we are expecting Owen to be off this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a loan I can't really see it being a terrible decision. Don't think it would be a positive move to be honest. It's not as if he's a class player who's just on a bad run and needs a change of surroundings, he's genuinely just not good enough for the PL.

Joe_F Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 "Jô scored 14 goals in his first 18 appearances for CSKA Moscow. In the UEFA Champions League, Jo scored two goals in the matches against Inter Milan, one being in the dramatic 4-2 loss at the San Siro" 53 appearances for CSKA scoring 30 goals in total. Thought to have cost Citeh £19 mill.....all according to Wiki. Hell of a loan deal if we could get him and Ashley would pay his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
