This one’s undoubtedly flavour of the month. Largely because we’ve hit one of those impasses where there really isn’t anything better to discuss.
Pereira to replace Bonzo is a neat fit for every blogger and his dog.
It certainly fits the Levy model. Flog the intellectually confused one for £50million and ship this chap in from Porto for £20million.
The 23 year old is supposedly on the radar of Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund, which I find an optimistic claim to put it mildly.
Porto have loaned the boy out to Nice for the past two seasons and so his career is more in state of hiatus than it is in the ascent.
Then there’s the fact that he’s supposedly shone whilst playing French football.
Regular readers will be discerning my slow burn of contempt for the affordably priced Eurotrash that Ligue One is currently producing.
£20million for an attacking wingback. What could possibly go wrong? I’d suggest plenty.
We talk the talk, but once your eye drifts away from the Michelin Star cuisine Levy appears to genuinely believe that he can somehow ‘get away with’ padding out the squad with players that should be on the radar of footballing giants like West Brom or West Ham.
Of course, the lad can run faster than your gran and mine and so those of you who fundamentally don’t understand football will be really excited by the prospect of signing Pereira.
