We also lost a few with Tripps at RB. Think each had positives and negatives weighed up against the opposition we were facing. Don't think Pep would ever have considered Walker at Barcelona. But, after a season here, he's realized the PL's a different animal, and KW checks most of the boxes required, particularly with regard to City's needs. It's a big loss for us, but Perreira would be a great replacement.

It is always a big loss to us when we lose one of our best players. When we lost the likes of Bale and Modric, it was a monumental loss as we never had the squad to make up for it. I am hopeful that, despite losing him, it will not necessarily seriously weaken the team this time as we have proved over the last two seasons we are as good as the best if not better even if there is no trophy to back up my opinion.. However, as those who move on often score against us, I have my prayer mat out that it won't happen when we face City! lol

Tottenham will not give up on Ricardo Pereira, report O Jogo, despite having their first offer for the fullback knocked back.

O Jogo revealed on Friday that Tottenham had made a first offer for the right back, who can also play on the left, but the bid was €15m and turned down immediately.

Portuguese clubs often like selling their players for buyout clauses, because they’re usually overpriced, but with Pereira being on loan at Nice for two years, his hasn’t been updated.

The 23 year old is still on the contract which fitted his previous status, and therefore the clause is €25m, something which Porto have been keen to change.

Still, Tottenham’s reported original offer was nowhere near that figure, but O Jogo claim that Kyle Walker’s sale means the club will now ‘insist’ on signing Pereira.

that

If necessary, it’s believed Tottenham will go to the full €25m figure, and that should be no problem given the sale of Walker.

Ricardo Pereira to Tottenham rumours were launched by Portugal’s Sabado on June 9th, with Spurs then looking for potential Walker replacements.

Porto play hardball over Tottenham right-back target Ricardo Pereira

Porto are playing hardball over Tottenham target Ricardo Pereira, Sky Sports News HQ understands.

The Portugal right-back is Spurs' preferred choice to replace Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City in a deal worth in excess of £50m this week.

Pereira has a release clause of £22m but Porto had previously indicated a willingness to negotiate a lower transfer fee for the 23-year-old because they needed to accrue funds.

The Primeira Liga runners-up have since sold Ruben Neves to Wolves for £15m and Andre Silva to Milan for £33.3m however, as well as others, which has strengthened their financial position.

A source involved with Pereira has told Sky Sports News HQ that Porto may accept an offer in the region of £16m, but another has said Spurs may have to stump up the entire £22m release clause.

And Tottenham must decide if they are prepared to pay that much for a player who will initially act as second choice to Kieran Trippier.

Why are we worrying about paying 22m for a back up player we paid that for Son who was a back up and paid 17odd mill for Janssen

This transfer at the price quoted doesn't add up to me.

I don't see the logic of spending €25m for unproven EPL prospect in Pereira where there already is another Portguese full back that is better and is premiership proven in Cedric Soares.

I'm sure the Saints would accept €25m. It is much better business for Spurs as Cedric is a known quantity and is only 25 as well. Perfect age for this team.

Maybe last year, but not now, he's their starting right back and has signed a new contract recently, would be expensive & tbh he isn't as good as Trippier which Ricardo might not be, but he is rapid unlike Cedric

What gives you the impression that Southampton, a money rich premier league club(wanting 70 for VVD) would sell their first choice right back, a Portuguese international ahead of Periera in the pecking order, for as little as that to a club they don't particularly have a liking for. I'd be shocked.

You are deluded if you think they'd sell for that much.

Sorry but got to disagree. Whilst Cedric is EPL proven as you say, that's not totally the brief here.

What we seem to be after are versatile players to maintain a lean, talented, and motivated squad - and then ideally add variety of attributes.

The value of Pereira, besides speed and variety to Trippier, is that he can play RWF in a 4-2-3-1 and LWB if needed - where despite Davies efforts we lacked balance and speed at times in Rose absence.

His purchase and versatility also doesn't completely block off Kyle Walker-Peters in the way Cedric or a less versatile RB would.

If we bought Cedric he'd be agitating for a move or a loan by January.

If we don't get Pereira my guess is we'll go for someone like Jeremy Toljan for c£10m who we and Chelsea are know to have scouted, can play both flanks, is quick, and whose contract expires in 2018.

I want us to get the best deal for the club but I honestly feel in this case the best deal is to pay up before someone else does. If Poch is really keen on him then Levy needs to make it happen quicker. Don't want another Sissoko scenario were he has to pay over the odds to please Poch because the alternative would be to lose his trust.

If we know that the player definitely want to come to us then we have a back stop of £22mio. Don't know why we have''nt expressed and interest in other targets like other teams do to us. Levy will not pay the asking price without his usual brinkmanship.
