TBH he owes us nothing, when he does leave he will double or triple what we paid for him. How many players can we say that about. At least he's being honest. Plenty of players in the past have just hung around taking the money.

Pereira has been a shining light (certainly in the last Championship season) and it was inevitable that he would be plucked away from us at some point, even if we had been in the Premier League.

So I say good luck, thank you and goodbye. I am not grieving, in fact for me he has already gone.

Forever onwards and all hail his replacement. I just hope we make a profit quickly and can use it to build the squad.

I do agree Pereira has been outstanding for us and should be playing at the highest level, but I do not agree that these players 'owe clubs nothing', why not?

Take this situation a couple of years ago most clubs around the world would have been saying Matheus who? Now because of the club taking a chance on him, the player is readying for a move back to a Prem club. People say look at what he did for us, as far as I am concerned, what he did for us, was his job, which may I add he is paid a considerable sum of money for doing. Try telling your mobile phone provider, "yes I know I have signed a 3 year contract, but this other phone company is offering me a better deal, so I am not committed to our contract anymore'. They would say "well that is to bad, either way you are delivering on your end of the contract and paying us or you will be in breach and will get sued. You WILL still see out your contract unless 'we want' to release you from it.

I guess it depends on how you define “owe”. I feel at a basic level, he owes us nothing in that he has an employment contract with which both parties were happy and to date it’s worked out well. I believe it would be the same that any of us have/would have with an employer for doing a job. Where I think he does “owe” is if he is refusing to play which would be unacceptable; I suspect that would be a breach of the contract he signed and would entitle the club to withhold his salary - again the same would apply to us in a regular job.
He clearly wants to leave and we need the money. I think we should take the first realistic offer (anything above £20 million) and move on

Rumours circulating that Johnstone will sign a new contract. Hope it’s true

Pereira responds and he’s chasing the money.

Don't want him to leave, a great player, but an honest statement. He has never come out and disrespected the club, never said directly he wants to leave. He deserves to play top level football, there is no guarantee we will get promoted, he has to do best by his family.
Agents are the main issue, they put poison in players ear and start touting them around in front of the big boys.
He owes us a little which we will get back in a big transfer fee, I am more p@&#@d at the academy players we took from promising kids to rising stars only for them to refuse to sign contracts and leave for peanuts. Players that have cost us years and years of investment only to show us no loyalty.
If he goes for the right cash, good luck to him. All the scum that went to villa, I hope their careers are very short lived.

Welcome Adam, takes us back to the greed league.

Hope Sam signs a new contract but not hopeful.

Need an out and out goalscorer.

A good pre-season but squad is vulnerable.
