Thats ok, he is now playing for a club that is very physical so it will only make him raise this part of his game. Torres was injured nearly everyweek and started stepping away from challenged before he joined Chelsea but now he dosen't and has never been injured as of yet.

If he is too lightweight to play his role then why is he playing his role??
and then why was he sold....
He scored more when he got injured
I know lol its a **** take. We get him back to full fitness better than ever and he dosent score lol.

Ineffectively for the most part - sold in the end.
He was sold because Liverpool didnt need him and Dalglish has his own way, its almost as if Hodgson was never manager now days. He is a fantastic footballer without a doubt and for a first season in the PL he did very well.

For a first season in the PL he was very impressive.
Liverpool didn't need him because he couldn't perform well enough in the role they needed him to. Good player but Liverpool didn't really need him
may not be fair but it's true otherwise Liverpool wouldn't have let him go so easily. He did alright but not outstandingly well to make him indispensable.

If you had watched him regularly, which by your comments I'm guessing you did not, you would see he was not good week in week out, backed out of challenges and rarely carried out his defensive duties effectively [largely because of his stand off nature.]
He had a fantastic 3 months or so, nothing else.

Let's not kid ourselves, it wasn't a fantastic season. It was a decent one when you factor into account it was his first. For the role he wanted to be played in, he constantly backed out of challenges and exposed his partners. The worst part of it, however, seemed to be his lapses in concentration, which seemed to happen at least once or twice per match. Still, he improved, and maybe AVB can get the best out of him.
Dalglish let him go because he has his own ideas which is fair enough. Meireles is not a Dalglish player and Dalglish likes his Brits.
His not naturaly a defensive minded player so thats irrelivent, We are looking for someone who will take the weight off Lampards shoulders and Meireles can do that very well.

It's irrelevant? If he is going to be in the middle of the park he can't back out of tackles and often let players roam free.
He was not needed by Dalglish it's really as simple as that. Oh and about the Brits thing Coates, Enrique, Doni and Suarez all aren't brits. about 50% of his transfers have been brits so he doesn't seem to have any preference really
Like i say i believe he has been bought in to take some ov the weight off Lampards shoulders and if thats the case is Lampard known for his tackling??No. Even if thats not the case playing for a strong physical side like Chelsea he will have no choice and will learn to get stuck in.

Who wants to be in Anfield when you can be in Fulham. Anfield isn't exactly a beautiful place in Liverpool 
Also better to use 12 million on Meireles than pay overprice for Modric. We succeeded in making Modric uncomfortable, which could help the Gunners. At least Arsenal has more gunpowder when they are fighting Tottenham, as long as they can stay injury free!

You don't get it, I doubt he has the capacity to tackle affectively for the ball, if Chelsea are a 'physical side' or not.

Yeah but the middle of the park isnt his normal position.Thats why its irrelevent.He plays further forward in an area where he wouldnt normally be comitting to challenges and thats why he doesnt normally do it.Lampard does the same and thats why he would fit in and be able to replace the aging lampard
