Ferreira is solid defender, who understand how to defend as a team and can put in some great crosses. Nonetheless, there is nothing in his game to really drool him about and like his other Portuguese compatriots he is way overrated IMO and certainly not worth half the money Chelsea lavishly gifted to Porto.
I cant comment too much on Miguel because I havent seen much of him. However, as far as I am concerned I liked Miguel in terms of athleticism(Though he may be tad bit lancky and need to muscle up a bit he is to succeed) - He is fast, instinctive, and has burst of acceleration. As a result, I thought it may be him a very good one on one defender during the Euro a la Roberto Carlos. Furthermore, he showed tremendous courage, and ability to use his blistering pacee to assist attack, and given our lack of width - he would come in very handy. However, there is a question whether he has tactical nous and play good team defence which requires positioning more than anything else, and given his love for going forward that could be a problem IMO. Contra, a personal favorite of mine, had similar problem and could not make a living out of Serie A for that reason. And anything more than 7m is bid too much for unproved player. Lets see what Moggi can do because I have a good feeling about him.
