Simon bristol Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Didnt see this anywhere on here,,, big shout out to pereira. Hes only a young lad too moving to a new country and a new league. Hasnt had the fanfare of some others, but hopefully will be excellent in the years to come!

Unan Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Only 5 games in but do people think we'll purchase him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think its his first u21 call up, which should boost his value, depends on what the purchase price agreed was, and how he settles in i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 For such a young lad he's had some experience with playing in Italy and Portugal and now here. He needs to find a home and hopefully he can push on and find it here if he does well during his loan. I like him, but then again I like Italian full backs (or those that have played in Italy - we let Pisano go a year too early imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Excellent news, the immediate impact and attention afforded to Massengo and Nagy has unfortunately rather overshadowed Pedro. Hopefully he has a brilliant season with us and becomes a permanent feature, anyone know if we have an agreement to buy in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 He looked a bit down when he got off the coach at Hull and wasn’t asked to sign anything, I felt sorry for him. I hope he’s making friends, I wouldn’t want him to think nobody likes him. I really want to see him play more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Big advantage for him is his good command of English. All of the under 35 year olds that I met while living there, spoke good English as it's now the number one foreign language in schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genoa were quoted €4m to sign him permanently and said no. I can't quite believe why it would go up, but the Portuguese press all reported recently we had a pre-agreed a fee of SIX MILLION EUROS to sign him permanently. https://www.zerozero.pt/news.php?id=258832 https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-nos/benfica/detalhe/bristol-fica-com-opcao-de-compra-por-pedro-pereira?ref=Pesquisa_Destaques Not quite sure why we'd pay 3x the fee for Jay Dasilva, as much as an unusual bargain as he was. Not sure the Under-21 call up adds much to his value either..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinkthat will depend on whether he settles in Bristol / England more than anything else, he certainly looks the part so far but a long gruelling winter isn't for everyone who comes to these shores!

Simon79 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have to say I was impressed with the 30 minutes or so I saw of him at him. Looks comfortable on the ball & has some pace about him. Didn’t get tested to much defensively to be honest, but nonetheless I liked what I saw.

1960maaan Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I 'm hoping he has a run and proves an asset , we could do with a trusted RB, and one so young is (or would be) a big bonus. 33 minutes ago, Olé said: I can't quite believe why it would go up, but the Portuguese press all reported recently we had a pre-agreed a fee of SIX MILLION EUROS to sign him permanently That does seem a lot, even with potential add ons. Then if Portuguese press are anything like ours, then you can probably cut that in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 "to be fair" (see earlier post on Tammy!), I did not clock his age when he signed and watching him play I assumed he was 25+, suffice to say I am very impressed with the maturity he has shown on the pitch. He looks a real upgrade to me, and its no surprise that Jack Hunt has upped his game since his arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got to be more helpful than everyone replying to City's tweet - one he is obviously reading and replying to himself - and ripping his hairline to pieces reference the fact he couldn't possibly be 21. And we wonder how we end up with players that lack confidence or self-belief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 This guy is only 21, and is in a foriegn country away from the support of his family. He speaks better English than a few UK footballers I can think of. He is finding his feet at a new club, and so far has done brilliantly, and will only get better. The fans need to get behind him, and make him feel welcome, how about a Pedro Pereira song to boost his confidence? Genoa, Benfica, Sampdoria is a pretty good CV at his age, we should be glad he chose us, and to make sure he wants to stay, we should be supporting him as much as possible..............I'll get off my soapbox now!

wendyredredrobin Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 From the little I've seen of him, he looked pretty decent. A better defender than Hunt, but not seen much of him going forward yet. May be better for games where we are playing against a tricky winger or a 4 4 2 type set up rather than 3 5 2. I've not seen anything about him that worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redapple Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I’ve picked him up a couple of times from the training ground and taken him to his hotel. He seems a quite chap, but he’s told me that his injury has healed, he loves Bristol and happy about the recent wins. He’s hoping to get his own car soon but is nervous about driving on the ‘wrong’ side. His English isn’t that good but I found him polite. Shook my hand both times I picked him up.

The kick up the ass/competition Hunt needs to get the best out of him. I’m sure Pereira will improve as the season progresses. Jay Dasilva was very much similar in this respect.

Next time you pick him up, do me a favour and take him to the little Portuguese kitchen in St. Nicholas market as a surprise. Maybe @Matt Parsons has told him about it, but I imagine it will be good for his ability to settle and play his best football, as someone living in a different city, to find there is a small Portuguese community in the world’s best city.

Should I pick him up again I will. Agree with you entirely and I get the impression he isn’t the most naturally confident guy and does need to be loved.
