Liverpool icon Aldo: Meireles can hold head high going to Chelsea
07.09.11 | tribalfootball.com
Liverpool icon John Aldridge says Raul Meireles leaves for Chelsea with his "head held high".
In his column for the Liverpool Echo, Aldo opined: "Meireles left just before the deadline and I wasn't surprised. I always thought one midfielder would move on and he was the most likely.
"Meireles, like Joe Cole, Dani Pacheco and Alberto Aquilani, can't really play in the 4-4-2 structure that Kenny likes.
"He was used out wide but everyone can see he's no winger. Meireles needs a role in a three-man central midfield - that's the way Chelsea play.
"He went with his head held high because he did a decent job. I think £12million was fair so it was a good deal for everyone.
"It was a nice gesture on Liverpool's part to sell him to Chelsea.
"After all Chelsea have played a massive role in turning Liverpool around. The £50million they gave us for FT enabled us to buy Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll and the £5.5million for Yossi Benayoun also helped rebuild our squad. Maybe letting them have Meireles is a little thank you for everything they have done!"
