Cider Queen Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Pleased that Pearson is staying, thought he put in some good performances last season. Hopefully he can hit the target a bit more often as he gets himself into some good positions. Hopefully more signings will follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Definitely shouldnt be a starting player unless we want another relegation battle, decent squad player though I know why don't we use the great partnership of Skuse and Elliott?, they have been really successful for us or we could play either or both of them with Killkenny that'll work.

Robbored Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 According to the EP Pearson will be signing a one year deal shortly.He apparently had approaches from Milwall but opted to stay at City because of his good relationship with McInnes. We saw several times last season what a decent player he can be and the fact that its just one year is a bit surprising given how influencial some of his peformances were. I think I'm right in saying that he started every game under McInnes when available. I pleased he's signed and if he could add goals to his game he'd be the second name on the teamsheet after Colo Skusey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_am_red Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Useful player to have, gets in to some good scoring oppurtunities, should have scored more last season. He showed what he could do against Barnsley, and although not a creative midfielder as such, his runs into space do create openings. 1 year deal is worth it and a Player I am happy is staying.

CiderArmyy Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hmm.. he started like a house on fire then slowly faded.. if we can get another central midfielder i'll feel more comforable.. WE NEED CREA-*******-TIVITY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betelgeuse Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Good squad player. A 1 year deal would suit all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I would be very happy if Pearson does sign for next year. Great engine, not afraid to put his foot in, decent left foot, always offers his teammates an option to pass to, able to play a few positions and adept at making late runs into the box (even if his finishing did let him down from time to time). Never going to set the world alight, but a good, honest and consistent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cisse leaves then i think we need him, just for calmness on the ball. When McInnes first joined and we had that decent run, Kilkenny was a key part in that when used further up the pitch, short passing etc. As i said, Pearson=good utility squad player, but moving forward not the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 glad he's signed on he's the only centre midfield that can score goals in the team, he can also play left of midfield and left back which is a added bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Very happy with this signing. Took a while to get going. It became for influential when used in the centre of a midfield 5. Has got a great engine and would often go beyond the lone striker to add an extra option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunningdalered Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Pretty pleased with this news thought he made a big difference when he came in last season. But then he only had to show an improvement over Woolford and JCR in fairness. Agree that he started brightly, but faded badly IMO (seems to be a bit of a theme with players looking to impress then losing their edge once they get a deal). If he could improve his conversion rate then he might justify his position in the side more easily, but as it stands I wouldnt be too worried if he went elsewhere and his shirt went to someone who felt they had more to prove.

Kermit the Frog Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Great decision to keep him on for a year. Good strong squad player who on his day is brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted June 7, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Definitely shouldnt be a starting player unless we want another relegation battle, decent squad player though That's a little harsh. In the 28 Championship games he featured in, we picked up 36 points. That works out at 59 points a season which is comfortably mid-table form without improving any other positions. Although we weren't particularly potent in attack, I believe it was at that back that we were most appalling and if we can tighten up that then we could push for the top half, regardless of improving our attacking options (which I believe we will anyway).

TRL Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Good deal, a 1 year contract should keep him keen and on his toes. I think it is the way to go, 1 year contracts, slightly higher wages and no transfer fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Not entirely sure what people who don't think Pearson is good enough are expecting from our transfer dealings this summer.... He's a great utility player who I thought did very well when I saw him considering he'd not played a massive amount of football in the 18 months before we signed him. I'm not certain he'll be a guaranteed starter but the fact he can slot into different positions in different formations means I can see him playing alot of games next season and I don't think he'll let anyone down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
