He also wasn't interested in the move.

David Brekalo we were linked with too, think we were definitely in the market for a centre half but you’d think Thomas and Kitching performances and the success of the 4 at the back means it’s no longer a priority.

They'd fill the stadium if they decided to do a gig though.

I would much rather the club take the longer view rather than the shorter. Even if he needs January to get fully match fit and in form, then he is available for the playoff push and perhaps even another trip to Wembley in the spring. Even if not, it is a long-term move for a 23-year old CM who would be around for years to come.
As an avid MLS observer and commentator, I think Pereira would slide in very nicely to the midfield. He is a deep-lying playmaker type that is accustomed to being one of the two holding mids in a 4-2-3-1 (Robins' current setup at the moment).
I don't think he replaces Gus. Not sure anyone can replicate his level of ball-winning and goal contributions. However, Pereira is, at least, as talented as Eccles giving more depth in the midfield. Plus, I think he still has at least one more big development spurt in him under the right situation.
Would love for my MLS club to trade for him. He fits the same holes that we have in midfield right now. But I get the sense that Pereira is ready for a jump to Europe - even if to a similar profile league.
More importantly, he is looking for a wage increase. He is only on £1,800/wk. He is worth a lot more than that. If he were to hit the open market in MLS, Pereira would likely command at least £7,500/wk. But he is under contract with Austin for one more year at which point he could sign on a free outside the league. However, with MLS' unique rules, his MLS rights are under club-control for another two seasons. Thus, pushing for a transfer is the best way to get himself a market-rate salary.

If he does not renew, I'm sure Robins would be in for him. He threw him in at 17 ahead of Mason & Brown (remember him?!!), and loves the player.

Get Sakamoto to give these 2 a call, Sano and Mitsuta, just what we're looking for and shouldn't break the bank.

Sima on loan at Rangers, powerful, quick, skillful youngish (23) would be a excellent signing.
If Brighton don't want him.
Just a suggestion for the summer window.

Rak sakyi plays wide right …. He won’t swap the palace bench for ours and he’s not better than Tats

I think another Japanese league player would be a great addition to the squad, they’re often overlooked and undervalued yet have great ability and stamina. If we could get another Japanese winger or midfielder then I think that’d be a great move, or someone from a European league that’s young and got bags of potential like Van Ewijk.
I’m sort of tired of the John Swift and Callum Styles types, I’m sure we’re better than that, we either need to spend big on proper quality or go for undervalued potential to train on in the long term if we’re going to make it into the prem in the next 5 years.

Turner has just said at least one perm signing is incoming

I imagine can see 2 perms and think they have already been in the works for a while. I also see a prem loan signings someone with pace that fits the group. Young, quick and exciting loan the 2 perms 1 will be ready made other i think will be a a slow burner that will be a player from abroad.
Where did you see that ? I’ve read the CET article which was a lot of words to say that Robins wasn’t giving anything away …

Yeah, although that was as much because we came in late in the window, so he took that as not really wanting him. I guess if we came back that might allay some of his fears in that respect.

More likely I would think. It grants him a green card which I presume he desperately wanted sorted before the possibility of leaving the country for his football career.

It's not a permanent visa and he'll risk losing it if he spends a considerable amount of time out of the country.
It's a big risk to take for his family if he went to Europe and it didn't work out.

A greencard only allows you to be out of the US for up to a year.

I'm sure there will be people available to advise. Green card is the best he's going to get to unless he plans on spending his whole career in the US it seems likely now would be a good opportunity.

It just makes no sense to spend all this time getting the US visa and security for his family then move straightaway to Europe.
He's also apparently off to LA anyway:

I’m not sure on his current terms or contract etc but anyone else think that Kwame Poku could be a great signing from Peterborough? Great bench option if we want to increase our depth in wide areas?

OK mate, its just a transfer rumour that seemed too random to be completely made up, especially now this player who has absolutely nothing to do with us is liking our social media posts.It just makes no sense to spend all this time getting the US visa and security for his family then move straightaway to Europe.

Maybe he'll go to LA... maybe he'll come here. Its just a bit of fun. Ultimately, all players with ambition will want to try their hand in Europe though.

I'd be very happy to be wrong as he looks a good player but when you read about his journey as an asylum seeker it seems crazy he'd risk having to go back to Venezuela.

I’d take Hosoya out of that list too. We could do a Celtic and just take a few Japanese players like they seem to do… works well for them
