Major Isewater Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Pearson says he'd like to stay at City. For me he has shown some quality but with his injuries he has n't quite had a really solid season . I like the guy but i think we can do better ,for me it's No Deal. Sorry ,best of luck Stephen.

No deal, He's picking up injurys quite often now, while he's decent enough and more then capable at this level, I feel we may get better value for money elseware, I'd offer a contract to Elliot (Wade) and get Joe Morrell to be his understudy, Thank Pearson you aren't as bad as people made out on here but its a no from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 If we're gonna sign an aged playmaker to chip in with goals, surely we'd prefer Elliott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdliketoRogerMoore Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 1 year deal with the option of another year if he plays enough games maybe! Has got some quality at this level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Not for me. I actually quite like Pearson and reckon he could play this league blindfolded, but at nearly 32 and with a nasty injury just behind him, I'd rather we let him go. He's bound to be on a good screw as well so the wages he'd free up would allow us more wiggle room in the transfer market. Besides Luke Freeman will keep him out of the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 If he'd be happy staying, and the finances were reasonable, I see no reason why he would be a player we'd consider keeping. Can play central or wide, and chips in with a goal or two here or there. Clearly, he's not a long term option, but reliable left footed midfield options aren't easy to find, and at least we know what we're getting with him. Also, same argument RE being one injury away from the end of his career goes two fold for Elliott, and we all seem keen on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 He's hugely underrated by many on here and was easily pound for pound one of McInnes' best signings, but glynriley's right, time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 All about wage really. Happy enough to have him here for another season, but would need to be on average L1 wages, otherwise i'd rather bigger money went elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 All about wage really. Happy enough to have him here for another season, but would need to be on average L1 wages, otherwise i'd rather bigger money went elsewhere. This is the trick; if he's happy enough to stay on a wage that fits Cotterill's plan for the squad, then great. If he would cost us more than a potential replacement, then I'm sure we'll see him leave. But I reckon he's a smart enough chap to know that he's probably not in the best negotiating position in what is a buyers market, and might see sticking on less money rather than twisting and the risks that entails as a good option. He'd be a useful asset for us at this level, and his versatility is also a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted April 23, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Personally I would like to see him offered another year, as he is a valuable squad player. Always one of the better performers and with his experience around the place will be an asset to the squad 32 is no big deal for the age of a pro footballer, for me the only issue is him staying available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a useful asset for us at this level, and his versatility is also a plus. Exactly right. We have hardly seen him in League 1 but have seen enough League 1 players to know he certainly wouldn't be the worst player out there. League 1 wages for what he is, a league 1 player would be right. The club had to honour his contract whilst he was injured, all that money will be wasted if we don't use him now. I can see him signing for a rival and having a great season. Obviously it would have to be a heavily weighted contract towards appearances etc. Although my first reaction was to release him I'm not so sure. Also it's very hard to judge players sometimes on just what we see on the pitch, I'm not saying keep someone just because they are great in the dressing room but don't underestimate the importance either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kachina Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Unlikely Elliott if signed will last 90 mins week in and week out, and Pearson is settled and has been playing well, small basic wage, with appearance bonus won't do any harm. He is a good player at this level and better to have two clubs in the bag that pinning all your hopes on one. He would undoubtedly get a lot of offers at this level and would rather him playing for us rather than against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Deal. Always liked Pearson. As long as it's on a reasonable wage then I'd definitely like to see him get another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Deal for me. At this level he looks a very good player and providing there's no underlying long term fitness issue likely to make him frequently unavailable then he's worth a reduced deal. The other key thing for me is whether SC has seen enough of him to consider him a likely first choice for next season - keeping him with the intention of just using him as a filler -in for younger, similar, left sided players wouldn't work for either party imo.

ciderbeans Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 him leaving has been coming for a while now. just because hes back from injury and had a couple of half good performances doesnt mean he should be given a new contract. we need to move on from him with the greatest of respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRed Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 No deal. Never thought he was that good to be honest, I would much rather see Bryan competing with a new signing to play on the left next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddBallJim Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 You remember how we got in this position?

Anglia Red Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 No deal for me. Too Injury prone. Not done enough in his time here to convince me. If we are going for experinced heads would ratherhave Nosworthy and Wade Elliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah? I've said no deal, but signing good young players cost alot of money (look at maynard for example) We haven't got endless resources and need to live with in our means, Central midfield is not a prioity at the club at the moment, I can see both side of the arguement but throwing money at unproven players isn't the answer, Remember we signed a promising central midfield from arsenal (which would of cost us a fee due to his age) and look how he's turned out, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK0wnag3 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Not for me. Solid player but his body is breaking down and we should shake hands and move on. Every year we talk about getting rid of deadwood and starting again. But as soon as that deadwood plays well because it's contract is nearly up we backtrack and say "oh go on, another year or two won't hurt". I have no doubt Pearson could do a good job at this level if he stays fit, but let him do it somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
