They are sick of everyone moaning so they are just letting VillaTalk make the calls now. I am a rare Pereira voter by the way. I haven’t seen enough of Buendia but every time I see Pereira he looks dangerous and I think we would do more from set pieces with him, and Grealish wins a lot of free kicks. (Given 15x as many people have voted for Buendia I will assume I am wrong though!) Edited May 27, 2021 by Adam2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I think price is key. I suspect Pereira will be much cheaper, which might sway it. For the same price, probably Buendia. We can look at Buendia tearing up the Championship last season, but the season before he was quite poor in the Premier League - 1 goal I think. Pereira didn't do as well in his season in the Championship, but he was still very good in his first year in England, and that Boggies team we nowhere near as good as Norwich have been. In their comparable PL seasons, Pereira had the far better return; both teams were shit and it was both players 2nd seasons in England. Pereira is almost a year older. Not sure that matters.

If the skills are even between the two, morale would be the booster. Pereira is Brazilian, so we got that covered too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I honestly hadn't realised Pereira's raw numbers were quite that good last season. 11 goals and 6 assists in 30 starts. Phenomenal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: morale, we have two other Brazilian players/nationals here as well. As @dont_do_it_doug. pointed out, Pereira is Brazilian. For some silly reason I thought he was Portuguese.

Don't expect to sign either realistically Norwich signed Buendia from Getafe for less than 2m. I'm hoping Lange and our scouting network will find the next Buendia than us paying ridiculous premium for players If we do that, we'll be accused of not trying to push on and finish in the top 6 where we rightly belong etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young kid playing in a foreign country alongside 10 other guys who achieved 21pts. They had a minus 49 GD. He probably spent 6 minutes in the opposing half that season.

tinker Posted May 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2021 Pereira, he's already settled in the Midlands and likes the area. Either one of these players would flourish next to Jack and behind Ollie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I’d take either to be fair. Both would be an upgrade on Barkley, Hourihane and Jota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) I went with Buendia but wouldn't mind either one. Think Pereira is a great player. Edited May 27, 2021 by Farlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve avoided them for the most part, and the couple of times I’ve watched them aside from our games, he hasn’t played. He strikes me as a player who flits in and out, but that’s hardly surprising when you’re surrounded by garbage. Those numbers definitely intrigue me. Of course it’s not as simple as this, but plug them into the 10 role here and we’re playing in Europe next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Pereira is awesome. Buendia is just a machine though. Think Eriksen at Spurs. Always putting in through balls and getting the ball out of his feet quickly. Think he'd suit our team more. We already have Jack who picks the lock slowly and methodically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
