Mersey - as much as I think Ricardo is absolutely brilliant, I couldn’t put him in the world class category for the simple reason that he can’t defend. But he more than makes up for that through his attacking prowess
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Roberto Carlos wasn’t the best defender either BS. Still world class.

But I agree on the defending part. That said, he’s a better defender than Chilwell (not that hard!)...

What I like about Justin is that he looks to be able to defend and attack. Exciting.

If we do have a release clause we’re stupid. That will have cost us minimum £50m. Might explain the quiet surrounding him when he’s performing. People just waiting to pick him off!

Will you finish top 4 BS?

Personally, I don’t think there will be a release clause.

We should be breaking the bank for him. He's top class.

I imagine City will probably come in for him though. They have only spent £110m on right backs in the last couple of years so will probably need another now.

Are we taking Chilwell or Pereira here?

Pereira. Although we'll take Chilwell off your hands too

He’s not fit to lace Roberto Carlos’ boots - Carlos could do both, he might not have been as good a defender as someone like Gary Neville, but he could defend and with his pace he could bail his teams out defensively when needed

An example of what I’m talking about - Carlos was a far superior tackler to Ricardo - he was world class because he could defend and attack.

I rate Pereira’s defending higher than you BS, and he’s still young in that regard as he’s only been learning the art for 2 seasons really. Plenty of time to improve that side of his game.

What you should have said is he’s not fit to lace Carlos’ boots yet...... yet 😉

Haha - I think it’s safe bet to say that Ricardo Pereira is not going to be as good as Roberto Carlos was.

I guess you’re right, he’ll probably be better...

I’m actually starting to get bored now......
