    Seen a lot of people saying he is one of the best midfielders in the Championship. From that alone, I'd take him. We're definitely gonna be light really soon in the middle of the park.

    Defensive midfielder I saw on one FM- is he as good as the attributes suggested? I don't follow English championship clubs.

    Looks a good player would fit well into the team the now in place of Christie in the RCM role of a diamond, as although he is DM he clearly has a good engine and running power to go box to box. Looks physical too which we don’t have many players who are in our team.

    Yeah well maybe we need that kind of bite in the team as it's something that's lacking. I never used to think like that but we've been hacked off the park too many times so time to give some back!

    Good player, one of the better midfielders in championship got abit of everything but his best attributes are breaking up play and being aggressive in centre of park. A walking yellow card at times mind.

    Was reading an article about him that said a couple of seasons back he was particularly bad for picking up bookings, almost guaranteed one and a few reds a season but last season he was far better in terms of total number of bookings.

    The article was talking about last season and comparing him to Phillips of Leeds and other than playing key passes he actually out performed him in a lot of categories, particularly the defensive side but also in terms of ball carrying. The article was via the below for a local newspaper I think but quotes statistics rather than being opinion based back in May this year.
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.la...-pearsons-premier-league-quality-18319698.amp

    He does seem to have picked up a few knocks this season and missed a fair amount of game time through a groin injury and currently with an ankle.

    However he does seem exactly the type of midfielder our team lacks currently and if he could be signed on a free or cheap deal the now he would compliment the other options we have.

    Looks good in those clips.

    Quick, loves a 50/50 and good range of passing.

    Would definitely be a nice addition to our engine room. Would allow players like Calmac and Turnbull to be more adventurous with him and Soro being more defensively minded.
