Pearson signs (8 Viewers)

[fatso]

Good signing. I'd like to see him on the bench tomorrow, would be good cover for Willis who has never convinced me he's a centre half.

If you want to be negative it leave's us open for others to come in if he proves himself, but MR gets paid to make these decision's regarding the budget and players and will be judged by his squads and results.

It isn't being negative. It is being realistic.

I agree, but i wasn't being negative to be fair, i think its the right way to go forward with him. Others will find ways to look at the negative side due to the right he has to walk away .

I do agree with you. But we all know what will happen if he does well and walks away.

Look at the Dublin fiasco. He was a free agent. They got him to sign a new contract. As soon as he did they tried their best to sell him when he wanted to stay. He chose a local club because he didn't want to move. He got lots of shit for it. He refused to play in a cup tie the day before he was due to leave. Why would he risk a serious injury like he had previously had. He got lots of shit for it and there are still some who hate him for it. And he was one of our best players ever.

You may well joke:

Saving paper and legal fees - smart move on efficiency savings by SISU

 

[better days]

I guess he's not been getting paid while on trial so it's probably a reasonable short term solution
Of course if he does really well there's a risk he could be poached away
Which is countered by the chance that he won't regain full fitness any time soon

 

[Alkhen]

Much less of a gamble on him if he has issues with injuries.

Should have done this with Reda Johnson

Im pretty sure they floated that with Redas agent but they went for the security of a 2 year deal at the moneybags conference club , can't blame the guy as lower league footballer is a brief career where you have to maximise your earnings

Perfectly explained, Astute, regarding Dublin.
You gotta add on the book that came out around that time too, where the author had access to City for a season(?) and where Fergie had talked about Dion's length, being the longest in the shower! I believe Dublin took exception to it being sold in the club shop at HR at the time? (it could be complete bollocks though, spun by Richardson to make Dublin look bad).

 

[Nick]

Non-contract? That's the sort of deal you'd expect in a sweat shop. What a total disgrace these club owners are. Still, I expect they need the money to finance their ongoing court attack on the City of Coventry.

No wonder they've sold only 400 season tickets. NOPM.

This one is a belter. It goes from completely mis-understanding the reasoning behind it to just straight up making things up.

Don't say this very often but perfectly played by the club.

Last thing we need is An injured player on the books for two years, he gets fit, plays and will get a contract.

So many times we suggest on here a version of a "pay as you play" would be ideal, and in this case, it completely is. Very minimal risk

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

We don't even know if he's any good

Tbf, the Barnet supporters said he was possibly their best player. I mean, Barnet probably haven't been blessed with too many decent players in recent history, but that's still a good measuring stick when looking at L2.

 

[Grendel]

I guess Tim changed his image after his failed attempt as a Daniel O'Donnell look a like.

I agree as long as he is offered a contract if all goes well.

A player out of contract can sign for any club at any time. They don't have to wait for the transfer window to open. All it would take is a club to get a few injuries. And if he is playing well he would be a good target. Match fit and not contracted.

 

[Hobo]

Seems sensible considering he hasn't proved his fitness yet.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I agree (as long as he isn't poached if he plays well). Smart move otherwise though.

Well done SISU!

 

[lifeskyblue]

Good move for all concerned. Pearson gets opportunity; we get a player who is injury prone. Yes a risk he might walk at any time weighed against he might not be fit to play.
In this case I think the club has got it right.

It wouldn't have been SISU. It would have been Robins and Widdrington etc.

I like your style.

That'll be the scenes on Tuesday when we play Blackburn and half our supporters don't know which team they want to win!

 

[covcity4life]

this will be the scene when i hear you diss mowbray from the stands

*the two guys helping me are jacob murphy and ryan kent

lets face it, there is considerably more chance that he wont be able to walk at all due to injury than there is him walking to another club.

He's 24 years old and made 23 senior appearances

 

[smileycov]

He is strugglingcwith a hamstring, this shows commitment from robins to say prove your fitness and your in, without committing ourselves at this stage. I think well played

Where is that quote from, Nick? The loonies on the CT comments, I suppose.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

ok. sort yourself out now young man. no more racism and prostitutes. learn to control your alcohol.

oh and defend well please.

oh come on cc4l asking any man to give up racism and alcohol is achievable but to ask a man to give up prostitutes is out of order young man.
sort yourself out

 

[SkyBluePryce]

Seems a sensible decision on paper.

I'm sure when it all goes wrong and he leaves for nothing it'll be seen as a stupid one by most, but if he gets injured and we terminate his contract without a fee and free up wages, the initial pragmatism and sense won't be recognised.

As for Pearson himself, when he's actually fit he's been rated by his respective clubs, so let's hope for once we are the club someone joins and avoids injury as opposed to the usual story when players join us.

Just for information-Dublin didn't refuse to play in the cup tie against Luton. It was Aston Villa who were about to sign him didn't want him cup tied.

What's more alarming is that you know what Daniel O'Donnell looks like!
