MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I thought that, it was quite refreshing to learn of transfer news from the Telegraph, it took me back to days when I would run up the shop and buy a copy for 20p, I still remember reading we had signed Poom, Wanchope and Solis for 1.7 mil and thinking "who". Id run back down Perth Street to my old man all excited because we were linked or had just bought someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 In Jan 2015 before his move to WBA one of the teams reported to be interested in him were Leicester, Pearson was their manager at the time so maybe a long term target of his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Quote He won the FA Cup with Wigan in 2013 and was named man of the match in the 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the final at Wembley. There's a video of this MOTM performance on Youtube A lot of running without really producing all that much quality, wouldn't have fit in well with the passing side we were trying to build when first linked but who knows what ideas Pearson has for our style of play. Not sure he does anything we can't get from Russell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit I do miss all the excitement (pre internet) Like when were reading teletext and you had to call Clubcall or Teamtalk because there were some breaking transfer rumour ... Unfortunately for me old man it were an 0891 number but hey ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I used to love reading the Neil Hallam columns too, he was a fantastic read. I remember him describing Roy McFarlands first tackle for Derby as having the power and ferocity of the 8.05 Glasgow to London train (or something like that).

Ambitious Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 McManaman is the exact type of player we should be looking at. Someone extremely talented, who is out of form, therefore somewhat cheaper than his ability should cost. Pearson will back himself to get the best out of him, I'm sure. McManaman and Ince would be a superb at this level. Not many, if any, wide players have that raw ability at this level. Signing in-form players rarely works out.

Sexydadbod Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I can see this being a Marc Albrighton esc signing. Albrighton was poor for Villa but Pearson gave him a chance at Leicester and he has been excellant. Similar styles of play too as both McManaman and Albrighton are quick, direct and can put a good ball into the box. Hope we get McManaman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key! Unless they're in form at a level where you're cheap (Vardy, Mahrez), it's likely that any players we acquire will be out of form or any general hype that was once there has died down.

Martin thrives on being surrounded by people on the same wavelength as him, capable of quick passing and intelligent movement in tight spaces. I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that someone running down the wing and aimlessly whipping it into the box is the type of service he needs when it's not what he's ever needed before.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 A fit Bryson would be the last player I would ever sell, he started to look like the Bryson of old towards the end of last season...We can sell Hendrick, Johnson and even Butterfield as we can replace these, no sure what we would need to spend to replace a fit, engine of the team like Bryson. Bryson, Martin, Russell and Hughes seem to have this connection which stems from the first season under McLaren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, however think with Bryson we know technically he's not as good as Hughes or Butterfield, but you can get away with that being the sort of player he is in midfield... Russell though his lack of technical ability shows a lot more on the wing, maybe it is time for a bit more quality in that position rather than a workhorse like Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson, Martin, Russell and Hughes seem to have this connection which stems from the first season under McLaren. Totally 100% agree... For me whenever you play a midfield 3 you need a defensive player, a creative player and an 'engine' box-to-boxer... However, we might not be playing a midfield 3 this season... And I'm not sure Hughes and Bryson is a robust enough midfield pairing in a 4-4-2... Hughes with Thorne or Johnson... Maybe Butterfield... Not enough tackling between Hughes and Bryson for me... I have everything crossed that we stay playing 4-3-3 Oh and on topic... No thanks to McManaman... Russell and Ince are better, I prefer Wiemann too... And would rather see what Camara is like than spend money again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes has 3rd highest tackles/game ratio in our team, only Olsson and Thorne (just) in front of him. So basicly Hughes does that well too. Heading ability would be bigger problem with Bryso-Hughesy. (and Thorne, Butters, Hanson, Baird etc..) Those stats are from Whoscored.com, but have to say I was suprised that Hughes wasn't topping tackling stats.
