The Reporter Help

We have renewed the Rumours and Transfers and from now on it will be known as The Reporter.

New changes:

You have the section divided into rumours and pieces of news. You can add photos to the news and rumours. If look carefully, each news that contains an image will have a small icon next to it referring to the image.

Classification of news and rumours:

The classification of news and rumours will be based on two criteria: number of votes and ancestry. The latest and the most voted news and rumours will be displayed on the top. If for example you observe that at the end of one week a news or rumour a lot of votes goes below another article with less votes it will be because it is not so new. In any case you can choose between looking at it in this order, only the latest, the most commented on or only news or rumours.

How do I upload a news?

Inside the section, on the left you will find the "Upload news" botton.

How do I upload a rumour?

Inside this section, on the left you will find the "Upload rumour" botton.

How do I vote for a news or a rumour?

Raul Meireles Confirmed!

PIECE OF NEWS

Liverpool Fc have completed the Raul Meireles deal with Porto. Here are 10 facts about our latest signing that you might want to know about:

Raul Jose Trindade Meireles was born in Porto on March 17, 1983. He shares his birthday with American actor Rob Lowe and women's football superstar Mia Hamm.

Meireles was one of Portugal's star performers in their four matches at the 2010 World Cup finals. He played 329 minutes in total out in South Africa and covered a distance of 41.49km, reaching a top speed of 25.99 km/h.

As well as playing in all four matches at the tournament, he started each and every one of their 12 games in qualifying and scored a crucial goal in the play-off tie with Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Meireles won his first international cap in November 2006 against Kazakhstan, while his first goal for his nation came in a Euro 2008 clash with Turkey.

He's renowned for his love of tattoos. He had his first one done at the age of 19 and has since regularly added new ones all over his body.

Meireles already has experience of playing at Anfield - he was a 65th-minute substitute for Porto during an emphatic 4-1 win for Liverpool in the Champions League group stage clash in November 2007.

He's also competed against Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea in the tournament - scoring a volley against the latter in 2007.

He's no stranger to silverware having helped Porto to four consecutive league titles between 2006 and 2009, as well as three Portuguese Cups and three Super Cups.

Meireles also starred in Portugal's success in the European U16 Championships at the turn of the century.

After moving to Porto from Boavista in 2004, he was initially deployed at left-back before commanding a more familiar central midfield role.

mostin I think Meireles should be a good signing, it will be interesting to see who starts and in which position. We still have J Cole to settle in, Jovanavic looks like a great signing, and he was free. Cole would be a bad signing as he does nothing for Westham, but if thats all we can get then get him as we need a striker, Not ideal, yes waste of money, but we can not go passed the window with out a new striker to back FT, i hope pacheco gets more action this season. the 30-08-2010 at 18:32

philltubman well its a great step wiv this player as he has a good all round game, not the masch replacement that he is being touted as, all we need now is another striker and winger my choices would be ruiz as can operate as both and plseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee woy forget about the cole deal he is no better than a championship player and would be a waste of money the 29-08-2010 at 11:35
