Gerrard: Selling Meireles To Chelsea Was The Right Decision

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard feels it was the right decision to sell Raul Meireles to Chelsea.

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard feels it was the right decision to sell Raul Meireles to Chelsea.

The Portuguese winger submitted a transfer request in the finals hours of the transfer deadline and with just minutes to spare the midfielder completed a £12million to West London and Gerrard believes the decision was right for all parties.

“It was a bit of a surprise because of the timing,” Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.

“I don’t think Raul had been too happy because he wanted more game time, but the players who have been playing before him have been doing really well .

“He put in a transfer request and I’m sure Kenny and Damien (Comolli) thought if he’s going to be unhappy and doesn’t want to be here then it was better to move him on.

“It was probably the right decision and we got good money back for him.”
