Ricardo Pereira
TRANSFER TALK
Portuguese newspaper O Jogo are reporting that Porto have rejected Spurs initial offer of £13.14 million (€15m - AUS$21.96m - US$17.2m) for 23-year-old (24 in October) tight-back Ricardo Pereira.
Let's be clear about Walker, he wasn't sold because Daniel Levy decided to sell him, he was sold because he has long running rows with Pochettino and it was the Argentinian who had had enough and told the board they could sell him. Walker didn't push for a move, but his wife did want to leave Spurs and I believe she is a northern lass.
Daniel Levy has secured about £20 million (€22.83m - AUS$33.44m - US$26.18m) more than he is actually worth in today's market.
Corrieo de Mañha report FC Porto are set to offer right-back Ricardo Pereira a new contract, often a ploy to maximise the transfer value of a player. In Portugal any wage increases are linked to an increase in their release clause so you can imagine by offering a new contract they want to increase his release clause after a successful season playing for Nice in Ligue 1.
With Juventus interested it isn't going to be plain sailing buying him although the club believes he wants to come to Spurs.

Poch was making a point and woh be anyone that crosses him, except you need to be winning things and having the world at your feet before you discard great players because they have crossed you.
Don't get me wrong, he is still a very good player and its s shame he's gone to Citeh but £50m/£55m is great business for a player who is, by no means, our best. The "selling club" stigma comes from selling our top talents (Berbatov, Bale, Modric) in their prime. Walks is getting to the point where his speed will deplete and he'll get found out.
There's no doubt Poch (and Levy for that matter) knows what he's doing (finishing 4th, 3rd, 2nd since arriving shows were undoubtedly moving in the right direction) and the transfer window is still young so let's stay possitive and trust the experts!!
COYS!!
I really hope you are all right and i'm over rating him because it will be a suprise to me if another as good as him comes along in the next 20 years.
%0 mil is a snip as he is exactly what City need.
ps How many teams will be making any sort of plans to stop Trips next season ?
