Alvaro Pereira

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

FFS just give that money to Lille and get Hazard.

I really don't get the point of this signing... 26m pounds is an awful lot to pay for a utility player

Its pretty clear Roman doesnt give a f*** about how much money we spend on players.

Boas wanted this player, so Roman will get him even if its seems to much... i'll say it again- money was never the issue.

According to A Bola, Pereira is waiting for his club to accept the second offer. On the link I did post above, PdC did refuse the first 15m offer in 30 seconds

And what is good with Portugese clubs is that they release the *.pdf of the official statement to the socios to say they have accepted an offer for a player.

And it's likely to be finalized within hours

I think we can get much better player for that price, but if AVB wants him then we probably need him, even though I can't see it.

It seems true, but if you think about it, who?

There is Eden Hazard, but Lile said he wont be sold after Gervinho and Cabaye have been sold. And he approved it himself.

When it comes to signings we are hopeless

I thought we were getting better after Mata's signing but it looks like we are moving back , if that is the case expect expensive purchases of utility players like Zhirkov , Belleti and more DMs like essien , ramires , romue , mikel we love those .

Jesus Navas for instance, I always admired him. He's much better and faster, and probably much cheaper.

He is great crosser.

Better than Malouda for that left wing.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

To be fair...

...the last time we made a major signing that at the time seemed quite an uninspiring one, was Claude Makelele, and he became a Chelsea legend. I'm just saying that perhaps it is best to sign someone with low expectations and watch them come into their own, like Mikel has done?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

This could be a good signing. €30million is a lot, but Villas-Boas clearly sees his true value to a team and if he's better than what we get from Malouda, why not?

How old is he?

I love this player!

Thank you Roman for getting him!

I want to cry. I bet so does Torres.

Why would Torres cry?
