Alvaro Pereira

[LondonPride1905 236]

Doubt it, I mean he knows why he is signing him, I just read somewhere that Mata will get 10, Bena - 15, and Malouda will hit the road. Depending on that Perreira is an awesome choice being played as Winger, Mata - behind the forward. If Perreira "goes down" we can rotate Mata on the left.

Even thought i doesn't rate highly of him, and i rather it was another player that was linked, but i support AVB, he may not be the best option out there but he is the one understand the best about AVB play style, would rather say he brought in experience instead of talent.

He never played as a winger at Porto and this is the first time I heard he can play as a right back. Come on... this guy is a LB.

Even when he was playing as a lb he was playing higher up the pitch.

[LondonPride1905 236]

Same situation with Coentrao at Madrid, I guess.

So it seems real...

"I confirm that Chelsea have made an offer which took 30 seconds to be responded to," Pinto da Costa was quoted as saying by RTP.

This Pereira I do not see a player who will solve the problems in the wings. And I'm very surprised that we did interest him. Rather take it as a left defender than as a flank player. To admit sometimes I think that management makes a very strange moves pretty surprised me, and sometimes shock. :oHardly need a new''Ferreira''this time''Pereira ''

30 milion euros is way waaaaaaaaaaayyyy to much for this guy...he is 25 and he is no gifted player as other class wingers like Roben, Bale, DI maria, ..... he is no better than Zhirkov, which we just sold for 15 mil euros...

2 good things about this that I like :

1. Malouda out

2. A 4-2-3-1 maybe?

Torres

Perreira Mata Sturridge

Lampard Ramires

So it won't happen.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

AVB not confident of it happening. 'Massively apart' in terms of fees.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

AVB just confirmed we have made a Bid!

[LondonPride1905 236]

But he also said, that there is a difference in the Sum of the Bid. He doubts he will sign him, though I don't believe a word he says, ever since Mata story. lol

He is now talking about Pereira, asked by journalist.

utterly ridiculous bid we do not need him .

[J.F. 1,484]

goal.com reporting that Porto president want 30m for him, and that was our bid rejected. (18m)

[LondonPride1905 236]

Meaning to pay his buy - out clause. Interesting to see what will happen.

AVB's bid confirmed by BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14666949.stm

We won't sign Porto player in a cheap price. They sold Falcao for 40m and 7m add-ons.
