Pereira is a left back with Porto but he plays upfront this position with Uruguay, his weakness is the defensive aspect of the game, he is very good offensively, he is quick, good crosser... But as Bosingwa when he arrived at Chelsea, he lets a lot of space behind him when he goes forward and he has never played in the midfield as did Zhirkov. His contract clause is 30m according to several sources, and it's possible that Pinto da Costa won't even discuss with Chelsea (whereas he could open the negociations with another club...)

When I saw him play I did find that he has great attacking skills and quality but we can't pur 20 or 30m on the table whereas we have Van Aanholt in the squad...

It's really a shame that Yuri did not pushed more at Chelsea, Shevchenko said to Ivanovic to carry on and that his chance will come, it would have been perfect if Bran could have provided the same support (he did, but obviously not enough...)

I say that because I think Bran is right in his pre Russia game ITW, there is not so much of really good left wing players in Europe and even less with Zhirkov's quality...

Cole and Pereira on left could work out, I wouldn't actually mind him. He was one of the main men in Uruguay's success story in the WC. Malouda can always play in the middle, since it's been his position for a while now. Where did he play under AVB, does anybody know?

I just think if we want to sign a winger then sign a winger... a top class winger too. We don't need a left back and it does just seem like another signing that would not really address the issues i think we have in our squad i.e lack of pace, creativity and players out wide who will run at defenders.
