    Pearce deal agreed just posted by pete o rourke on twitter...

    This is a brilliant signing at league 1 level.

    Along with Ajose, Novak, and Rudd - thats right up in calibre (at the time) with the likes of Stephens, Hollands, Taylor, Morrison and Hamer signing. Crofts is our Hughsey equivalent.

    EDIT Wigan fans are furious. The league 1 champions calling him their best defender by a mile.

    Hey. Never saw that coming (if true). Rudd and now Pearce may yet give us a real edge in this league.

    another good signing but I find myself very 'meh' about it all. Nothing really matters until RD et co bugger off and leave us in peace.
  • I've been basically against every move the board have done since signing Ajose but fair play this is a good one.

    Another good signing by Slade if true. Give him more funds and more freedom Katrien.

    Anyone know what day it is today?

    Colin insists it's Thursday, but what does he know?

    "Genuinely can't believe it, other than if he wants to go back south. He is a warrior, picks up too many injuries but when he's fit he's best CB in L1.
    Real fans' favourite! Not a popular move amongst our supporters."

  • Gone 1pm no announcement. Does that mean Pearce can't play tomorrow? Not a problem if Tex is over his "knock" but a big ask for Konsa to debut 1st match with our up and down pre-season. Does anyone know if Kashi went under the knife? 4 months seems a very specific recovery period for someone who has already been out for months with same injury.

    I'm pretty sure today is Thursday! no game tomorrow!
    Doh!!!!!

    His career record looks very good in terms of appearances / lack of major injuries:

    2006–2007 Portsmouth 0 (0)
    2006 → Bognor Regis (loan) 12 (1)
    2007 → Woking (loan) 18 (2)
    2007–2011 Bournemouth 162 (7)
    2011–2012 Portsmouth 43 (2)
    2012–2015 Leeds United 99 (2)
    2015– Wigan Athletic 42 (4)

    Aha. That'll be what finally won Katrien over

    made over 40 appearance in the year at Wigan so not sure how he could have picked up injuries there?

    Yep, his broken leg will be overlooked as he's being given pain killing injections in his shoulder!!

    Pearce seems like he could be a very good signing but he's really just replacing Tex. Hopefully a striker and winger will soon follow.

    I think Callum could do with a lot of hours of mindblowingly boring practice at shooting, and quicker decision making. He has plenty of skill and touch, but some areas of his game are not second nature to him as they should be, and maybe could be with the extra work.
    One advantage regarding Callum is the 'Leaburn' factor.
    By that I mean he may have limitations, but defences don't like the graft they have to put in to deal with him. With a player like Danny Green for example he was never enough of a pain in the arse as he should've been.
    Ricky Holmes looks to have that pain in the arse quality too.
    (yeah I know which thread this should also be on!)

    A long time ago I heard a definition of the difference between PL, FLC, L1 and L2 players. It was simply thinking time. I think that comes naturally and Harriot is at his best when he doesn't have to think which tells you a lot.

    Meh, much of a muchness with Crofts. We need creativity and range of passing in midfield. Don't think he fits that bill

    All our signings are very badly kept secrets, it's definitely Pearce. :wink:

    Only takes an injury at Norwich (or Rudd himself) to put us back into the brown stuff!

    Norwich not such a problem as they've signed Paul Jones as back-up to Ruddy and McGovern

    Either Slade has a pretty weird play system set up with about 5 defensive midfielders in the lineup, or we're going to come up short again this window, can't really slag off any of the signings we've made so far but there just hasn't been enough of them.

    I just checked his Wikipedia page and noticed that it says he plays for us. But like the chicken and the egg, wonder what came first the Facebook rumour, or the Wikipedia entry!

    Dawson isnt what we need IMO.
