Major Isewater Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 The little I’ve seen of Pereira he seems more than decent at right back , without being outstanding and find it a bit odd that the talk is that he will return to Benfica at the end of his loan . What has he done wrong ? What do the OTIB sages say ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Rumour of a €6m option to buy. Sounds a lot, but he’s only 22 and hopefully gonna get better. If it were me, I’d be looking elsewhere (for next season), and unless a good alternative is available at the right price, I would extend Korey Smith and have him as Hunt’s deputy / rotation. Think it could extend his career. Of course Pereira might feature heavily in these last 13 games and really make signing him a no-brainer. I do think he’s good, just not €6m good...at this point.

Admin phantom Posted February 21, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Part of the problem LJ never settles on a regular right back / formation so none of our players in this position get a decent run to gain form and confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grifty Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I like him a lot but in fairness to Hunt who isn’t great, just solid, every time I think LJ is going to swap them, Hunt bangs in a game where he gets 2 assists and we keep a clean sheet.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think Perreira has real promise but it all comes down to cost. At £6M it's a no, but at £2M it would be a definite yes. I think we may end up pig sick when in 2-3 years he's the established right back for Portugal.

Offside Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Seems a decent enough player based on the little I have seen of him and he’s young enough to keep improving. The 6m price does seem a bit steep, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Overall I rate Pereira higher than Hunt. Especially when you consider his age and it being his first season of championship football. I'd take him in the summer for sure. But maybe we are looking elsewhere. Korey at right back for me has often looked better than what we've ever had there to be fair. Never really understood people not agreeing with my view of korey at right back. He hasn't played there loads, but whenever he does he is usually one of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 If thats true re 6 million for a player who cant get in ahead of Jack Hunt then the world has gone mad. this is very similar to the kasey palmer situation where we spent a fortune on last seasons loan player who couldnt get in the side then or now.

Roe Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hasn't done anything wrong as such, but we already have 19 other players who have played more recently than him. Too many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 He isn't one of those few and far between players that you watch for 20 minutes and think "this lad is a bit special" such as Caulker or Andy Cole. But from the little I've seen he seems a very competent right back for his age and technically very good, there could be a lot more to come from him. But if it is 6m euros its a bit too steep at this time imo. Too risky at that cost. If it were 2m then bite their hand off. I still haven't got over the club letting Pisano go - proper right back.

OK, @The Dolman Pragmatist let's throw some facts into this Jack Hunt has currently played 2,023 minutes this season Pedro Pereira (who this thread is about) has currently played 1,009 minutes this season That is before we add in playing three at the back etc. . . IF it was just the two of them that played right back this season, for every THREE games, Hunt plays TWO, PEREIRA plays ONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF it was just the two of them that played right back this season, for every THREE games, Hunt plays TWO, PEREIRA plays ONE That sounds like good use of the squad and a rotation policy that keeps both fit and healthy. The first choice has played 2/3rds of games. The backup has played 1/3rd of games. Edit - especially so, since we expect the full backs to be attacking & defending, so potentially cover more ground (and thus tire more) than those in other positions.

One would presume that just because there's an option to purchase for €6m, that doesn't necessarily mean that is the price he would have to be transferred for. Nothing preventing us from declining the option and making a lower bid. Of course that would then open the door for other suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 You could argue having him as competition has made Hunt more consistent and kept him on his toes. He has certainly been better going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm baffled when you say Hunt isn't great when he is one of our most potent attacking threats, going past people and providing the assists for goals that have got us important victories especially away. He is a rugged player who has shown more than once that he won't be pushed around or intimidated by the opposition. Exactly what we need more of across the team.
