DaveF Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'd like to say if Pericard's not good enough for Cardiff then he's not good enough for us. But then again I was at the Cardiff game! Pericard would be another club in the bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Pericard, hmm. He was the man at Pompey I believe and I doubt we'll be able to get a better striker in a week. So maybe that's a goer even though hes been poor everywhere else. I'd imagine Quincy's wages are a bit too high for us and how about us signing a winger who is actually a winger, not a striker who can run a bit.

Riaz Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Owusu-abeyie would be a good addition towards either a 4-4-2 or possibly the right of a 4-3-3. No place for him in the 5-3-2 though i dont reckon? Not sure he would sign as a squad player but still worth a go. Im all for giving players another chance but pericard from wikipedia records appears to have one of the worst scoring records i have ever seen for a striker, something like 17 in 120 games? thats 1 in 6. In fact if you chalk off the 9 goals he got in a season 7 YEARS AGO, then his scoring record is roughly 8 in 85 apps, thats worse than 1 in 10!!!! and the best part of that appears to be a championship level. This signing reeks of desperation??? there looking at him. no one is signing just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Quincy would be a great signing, Pericard not too sure.. was released by Stoke and never really set the world alight there, maybe it was because of Fuller and Sidibe were chose instead of him most the time.... time shall tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leobcfc1 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 So you think he will be a first team player but coming on in the last 15 minutes? That isn't what I said read the post again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 quincy would be brilliant for us, even though we arent playing with wingers atm we still need to sign someone, i dont think we can go the whole season without wingers, we lacked width severly against cardiff so we need to sign someone to give us the option of playing wingers. in addition, with quincy able to play as a striker he adds more competition to the forwards if quincy settles quickly he could rip the championship apart, imagine a 3 man strikeforce with haynes, quincy and maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting Ray Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 This shows your lack of knowledge, as we created numerous chances to score, especially in the first half. Lack of knowledge? I was at the game. And, for me, we should be creating more chances than this. Yes, the 1st half performance was good, but not nearly as good as most people seem to think. Classic case of people getting carried away and not seeing the obvious flaws in our performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax mate. whilst i agree with that, for adding depth to the squad. A player shouldn't be played out of position for more than one game, unless he adapts his game well i.e clarkson is playing well but he should be up front instead of playing behind the front two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21. Marcham Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 These Pericard comments remind me of a certain Mr John when he signed last summer. Hope if Pericard signs he'll be just a little bit better. It's really not much to ask is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 What i'm saying is we were pumping long balls up the pitch against Cardiff with no success, because there wasn't a big man up front to take advantage of the long balls. This is why signing a player like Pericard would worry me, as it could encourage a re-emergance of the hoofball seen too often last year. we should be working on not lumping the ball up the pitch rather than finding a player to lump it to. As for Quincy, looks like he could be a good prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted August 25, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Reading Gary's quotes this morning, neither player are near full fitness and both have been injury prone of the last year - so no chance of seeing either of these two near the first team (if good enough) for ages. . . usually takes a player 6-8 weeks to make up for a lost pre-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick1976 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Just this minute spoke to my friend who's a Stoke City season ticket holder. He laughed at me when i told him that we've taken Vincent Pericard on trial. When he finally picked himself up off the floor he told me that Vincent Pericard was a right old donkey. hmmmm not getting excited at the moment!

CodeRed Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 To all those who have posted that Pericard could be a good signing 1. Pericard was released by Stoke at the end of last season-no club has yet offered him a deal 2. presumabley he has an agent who has been ringing every Championship club (maybe even L.1 clubs) trying to get Pericard fixed up with a deal 3. a trial with Cardiff proved unsuccessful . 4. his scoring record (he is after all a striker) is abysmal 5. he was crap at Stoke, the very team that should have suited his style and physique (I'm guessing he didn't get many passes to feet!!) Please now engage those little grey cells and ask (yourself) the following question Q: Why do you think no one has signed him yet despite being available and being touted around all summer by his agent? (The correct answer is at the bottom of the page) CodeRed A : Because he's crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be bought in to give defenders a very hard time for the last 15 minutes or so of a game when we are trailing and in need of a different approach. He is very similar to Adebola and would cost us absolutely nothing being a free agent, he will will be needed in certain circumstances as I have said before numerous times. Pericard's job would be to help Maynard be more prolific rather than himself trying to score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Hocking Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 He is very similar to Adebola Dele would have scored us around 10 goals this season if he had stayed and played as an impact sub/target man against hoof ball teams. Given the same amount of game time, Pericard will score us 1-2 goals at best. He is rubbish. Where is the similarity????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are the long Delap throws which work well when Sidibe plays but a player like Ricardo Fuller needs ball to feet and thats what he gets! Pericard is just crap whatever way you play!

Read my other posts for a further explanation as to why I don't think the amount of goals he scores will matter. Given that the goals don't matter so much if the player does a good job and makes room for others (like Heskey for example) It still begs the question Why doesn't any other club want him (we wouldn't have either if Velicka had not got injured) As I put on another thread this is more about the fact that we've run out of wages (we're paying Velicka Basso Trundle either side of 10K a week and none can play) and Pericard is right at the bottom of the £ barrel!
