Hopefully someone can ask someone tonight at the game if we still have a chance in signing him.

Wonder if he's possibly playing for someone else tonight???

I don't think the differential between the First and Third Divisions was anything like as great in those days.

indeed, I heard Gary Stevens who played for Spurs and England say on Talk Sport that he was on a maxium of £700 per week in those days

Well he didnt play tonight so i'm guessing thats that - 2 traffic jams in 3 days would be very bad luck - We need a CB sharpish, thought Osborne was dodgy tonight.
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

Well Andy Scott lives nearby to Ian Pearce and was apparently also held up in the same traffic and only got to GP at about 2:30pm, so I was led to believe.

Traffic was bad due to an accident I believe. I was at Epsom General taking my mum in for her op. I believe the air ambulance was dispatched because I saw it fly over the hospital from it's base in London and one of the met choppers was buzzing about as well. :wave:

i was talking to ross montague at the game last night and he said that Ian hasn't been turning up to training and that himself is two weeks of full fitness

:wave: Ian then!

shame montague hasnt had a run out in any of the pre-season games. Maybe a loan deal for the first month of the season would do him good?

he's still carrying an injury. :rolleyes:

he had a serious back injury, it takes time to get this sort of injury right. :wave: only just started to run and kick a ball.

Which is likely why he was saying a month on loan when he's ready to get him fit and used to playing matches again could be beneficial rather than straight back into our first team (where he'll be lucky to play ahead of Elder, MacDonald and Connell anyway) :wave:

Ian Pearce has got a short term package deal abroad apparently, but will be available again in a couple of weeks. :rolleyes:
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

he is treating us with no respect, what a surprise. f**ham c*nt.
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

No two players' circumstances, finances and family situation (kids at school, wife down the bridge club etc) will be identical - especially towards the ends of their career. Therefore, motivation factors will be different . So you post is largely based on unreasonable assumptions.

From another angle, why the **** did he bother coming to train at BFC if he is expecting more than we can pay? You didn't think it though did you :nono:

maybe it was you who didn't think it through banana?

neither of us knows for sure ---- but he hasn't been seen at GP of late?
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

Anyone got any news with regards to Mr Pearce?

Is this a no goer as we have signed Bennett?:sad:

Who knows, Bennett is only on a month loan - for now.

Now playing for Oxted and District FC (where he started his career) in the Surrey South Eastern Combination first division..
Oxted beat Westminster Casuals 4-1 and Pearce scored one of the goals.
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

Blimey, :eek: that's below the Combined Counties League, can't believe we might have had him in the heart of our defence.
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

I guess AS was being polite when he told the press it would be an honour to sign him :eek:

Didn't he also used to be a striker in his Blackburn days? :sneakoff:

Although earning a lot of money in his career, he pays only £1.50 match fees instead of the £2.50 his team mates pay as he is technically unemployed.

Keeps him fit just in case we lose Wilson or Bennett..

Well, we lose Wilson in November (or is late October?).

If he was any good, we could have agreed a short term contract with him - considering he had no other 'decent' options.

I heard Wilson would play in the FA Cup? Perhaps I was wrong.

that is not possible with Brentford.

http://www.brentfordfc.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10421~1380353,00.html

just checked this out, Wilson's loan finishes around the FA Cup tie date of Nov.8th, abee mentioned on here that the return date for Wilson is around Nov.6th/7th, but then says the second week of november!?, anyway i doubt if Bristol City will give permission for Wilson to play in the FA Cup.

Pearce isn't needed now, IMO, he had the chance, possibly??, to sign but wanted to check out other options.......yeah righto.

THREAD CLOSED.

Dunno where I said that but Wilson's loan expires November 8th which falls in the second week in November I suppose......:). Wilson was extended for the maximum permitted 93 days from August 7.

He won't play for us in the cup on November 8th I'm as sure as I can be of that.

i can only comment on his performance against staines in pre season but he looked quality to me and i commented at the time that he was exactly what we needed. wilson going back is obviously going to leave a massive whole at the back and pearce would be an ideal replacement. it seems strange that hes ended up there and he would surely jump at the chance to play at league level, money cant be an issue if he's running out for nothing?

To be honest, I'd rather see what Phillips is made of before we take a risk on someone like Pearce. Besides which, I reckon Halls would be competent at centre-back too if he sticks around. It'll be sad to lose Wilson, but not a disaster, and we can bring him back in January if City are willing.
 

The Ian Pearce Thread

We should be able to find 2 competent centre backs out of Bennett, Phillips, Johnson and Osborne. Wilson has been a bonus IMO

Think Shipperley and walk away. Professionals get their pension at 35 which for him is next year so maybe, initially, he wanted to earn some dosh till then instead of spending his savings. However, he decided to do something else at the end of July instead of taking the offer from AS.

He may be happy to play with his mates for nothing to get him out of the house, but why on earth would he do that for us? I think the fact he hasn't sorted himself a club yet probably means that he's lost the desire to be a full-time pro anyway.

Or no Insurance company would cover him. :idea:

I heard he was concentrating on taking his coaching badges. :fishing:
