Alvaro Pereira

[OReillyD36 311]

Out of all the players at Porto we go for Perreira, he is good but nothing different to what we have. We should be bidding for James Rodriguez.

[NoFear 23]

No idea why we need him atm. He definitely isnt gonna replace AC at LB and neither is he technically so good as to play on LW. If he is bought to be a squad player, why pay so much ?!?! Get a true winger I say.. cough... hazard.. cough..

[cujo101 75]

I hope that we don't get him - £25 million +? Surely AVB can see that a RW is needed more that a LB? Ryan Bertrand will be fine as our back up LB and we need to move Kalou and Ferreira on. De Bruyne, Johnson or Marin please...

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

i don`t see him as being a LB should we sign him,but if we bid 18m and they have demanded 30m i don`t see it happening now anyway.

And Hazard is worth 35m?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Good.

I guess?

And Hazard is worth 35m?

No fear is right. 20 years old, true winger, very talented and promising, the youngest player to win UNFP Ligue 1 player of the year. One of the biggest talents in today's football. I'd say yes.

A player that costs 35m should imo walk into our first 11 and start performing. Hazard is interesting, but he is not 35m player.

Your opinion. I'd take him in a heartbeat before Pereirra any day.

I hope Porto reject all our bids for Perriera and accept our bid for Moutinho.

[teignman 441]

Out of the Porto lot, I would want (and think we could really use) Moutinho or Hulk. The former is still a remote possibility. The latter is a dream due to his absurd release clause. But back on topic. If we can get Perreira for very close to our first bid, I'll be ok with it. I think it is a bit much for a player that doesn't really fit our pressing needs. However, I trust there is a good reason that AVB deems him a must-have. I don't know what that good reason is, but I have a lot of faith in our ginger-bearded Portuguese.

Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa is adamant that Chelsea target Alvaro Pereira will not be leaving the club unless his release clause is met. Chelsea have seen a £15million bid for Pereira turned down, with the Uruguayan's release clause standing at €30m (£26.5m)

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Does he play on the right?

If so, then i guess the days of Ivan on the right is no more. But with Bosingwa back in from, i don't think we need another fullback

Spend the money on a right winger or a creative midfeilder.

Don't think Chelsea will get him no more, cause that is too much for him. Around 15m was good.

Next.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Agree with your there Justin, £15 million would have been a coup, yet in this inflated market that is merely the product of wishful thinking.

Again we've sold ourselves short (excuse the pun) by leaving these deals until the last three or four days. Thankfully we did our business involving Mata, Lukaku, Oriol and Courtois early, otherwise it would have been a very nervy August for us all.

[lionsden 4,689]

I hope and pray the deal falls flat and remains unsuccessful till eternity. AVB should focus his attention on De Bruyne and Moutinho instead. We don't have a lot of time left.

[BosnianLion 232]

Damn it what are they doing we don't need him!

Totally agree with you there, Moutinho would be a much better and easier signing than Modric! I also believe that signing Pereira would put Ashley Cole under huge threat, and I wouldn't like that at all, because he's still the best left back in the Premier League at almost 31 years of age!

I however, only believe in a deal, if it meant Pereira played on the left wing, and Mata would play a more creative role, but I don't see that happening somehow!
