Meireles: I don’t deserve Judas tag

RAUL MEIRELES insists he is no “Judas” after trading Liverpool for Chelsea.

A shock written transfer request submitted in the final hour before Wednesday night’s deadline paved the way for the Portugal midfielder to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.

It also brought criticism from sections of the Liverpool support, but 28-year-old Meireles has defended his conduct and stressed the move was not motivated by money.
