Marco Silva insists that Andreas Pereira will have to submit a transfer request in order to leave Fulham, who are not open to considering offers for the Brazilian international during the January transfer window.
The former Manchester United midfielder played 72 minutes in the Whites’ SW6 derby win at Chelsea yesterday – but the Cottagers scored twice to seal their first league win at Stamford Bridge in 45 years after he was replaced by club captain Tom Cairney. Pereira has been heavily linked with a return to Brazil after being dropped for the draw at Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month when he expressed an interest in leaving Craven Cottage.
The 28 year-old claimed PL Brasil had misinterpreted his comments in an Instagram post released after Silva had selected the side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium only for the outlet to release the full video on social media, with a consecutive translation proving Pereira wrong. He had said that he was hoping to join Nice and Fulham have since rejected two bids from Palmerais for their playmaker.
Silva told ESPN Brazil:
“Of course, I’ll talk to him but this Palmerais thing is not a conversation between me and him. The club has people responsible to talk and listen. So far, I have no information from the club that anything is close to happening, so no conversation. Everything else is away from me, it is also away from Andreas. There are people responsible for him, and the club has people responsible for dealing with him. We have focused only on training by training and game by game.”
Sick of this twat!
If he was any good, I might feel differently but I am fed up waiting for him to contribute something decent to the team’s effort and being constantly disappointed.
Do us ALL a favour and unload him NOW!
Just trust in Silva if the player wants out and the manager sanctions the thought get the deal done!
He does disappoint, because with his ability always feel he could be so much better. But most matches he gives 100 percent with his pressing and work rate, but didn’t feel that was there v Chelsea. If he puts in transfer request let him go , but some matches he’s not played we do miss he’s pressing and work rate needs to be replaced before letting go
Pereira has said he’s happy at Fulham. Fans get on his back because a certain fan account continually posts foreign “news” articles. There’s not be anything said by the UK media on this. Let’s get behind Pereira and stop bashing him.
er sorry Daniel I have failed to see any of his “ability”. He is lightweight, loses the ball too easily does not back track to reclaim it. Also far too aware of himself, after a recent foul by him instead of facing up the opponents he was to keen to re-adjust his ponytail. He would be no loss, and an old adage here ” I would be happy to drive him to Heathrow”. Good riddance.
I disagree, he has heap loads of technique. His work rate and physical attributes aren’t top but still remains one of the best players technically in our squad.
So far ESR has not done enough to show he can be a long term replacement for Pereira, especially when it comes to pressing. Plus, his injury record is concerning. We should not let Pereira leave until we have a suitable replacement. Marco Silva keeps picking him and I trust his judgement concerning the abilities of his players. This could well turn out to be a case of either ” You don’t know what you’ve missed till it’s gone” or “Careful of what you wish for.”
Oops! For “missed” read “got”. Must get a proof reader.
Pereira gives 100% every time he plays with his energy and pressing. However the fact is he can’t tackle, lightweight on the ball, can’t take free kicks, can’t clear the 1st man on corners and can’t score penalties. He’s not up to standard. Please go!
