    Never really watched him but anytime I’ve seen people comment on him it’s always the same.

    Basically an EPL level player but discipline has held him back from getting a move. Supposedly a bit of a nutter on the pitch :giggle1:

    Who’s identified him? If it’s the current manager then why is he signing players for next season? He’s very unlikely to be here

    I think we all realise the manager has very little to do with a lot of our signings. He admitted to never having seen Klimala play yet we signed him, Soro I think was similar. Barkas was widely touted as Hammonds pick.

    Turnbull I think is one Lennon did have influence over as it was said he tried to even sign him for Hibs before he broke through at Motherwell.

    The transfer side is led by Hammond but who actually has a say or final say on who we get seems to be Lawwell.

    This about Turnbull is 100% correct. Motherwell reserves played Hibs reserves. After the game he was asking Stephen Craigan (then manager of Motherwell reserves) who was the lad with a certain number on his back. This player was Turnbull

    Think that’s something we’re missing, we’ve turned into a team of soft touches since the end of Lenny’s first term.

    Him and a big beast of a centre back would add a lot more steel to our team that we miss at times.

    I'd pass. We've got 3 leftie centre midfielders connell, mcinroy and robertson who must have the potential to be twice the player this guy is

    On what information? We have plenty of young prospects that never make the cut. This guy is one of the better midfielders in the English Championship going on what other fans have said.

    We won't know until there given a shot instead our squad gets bloated out with guys like this.
    unless there real quality or a good prospects i don't see the point in signing them.
    The bhoy connell was called up to train with the Irish squad at a young age and robertson at 18 seems to be making a good impression in the league below this guy

    I didn't mean all 3 I meant that atleast 1 of the 3 must have the potential to be better than Pearson who has been around a while now

    Always room on the bench for another player that we will never play.

    Brentford are interested in signing 26-year-old Preston North End midfielder Ben Pearson, whose deal with the Deepdale club runs out in the summer. West Bromwich Albion and Celtic have also been linked with the Englishman. (Mail)

    Another one gone.

    I think he is the type of player our midfield could be doing with. There are a few good players in the Championship with expiring contracts who would be good additions for us.

    The Blackburn RB Ryan Nyambe, would be an improvement on what we have.

    Ben Davies who we’ve been linked with from Preston is a left sided CB which we have been needing for a while.

    An alternative to Pearson would be Alex Mowatt from Barnsley who is a good CM who has a pretty solid all round game, a bit of a Joe Ledley type, could even compliment Pearson if McGregor left. Emilano Marcondes of Brentford is another good CM.

    Issac Mbenza from Huddersfield is a powerful winger who can play off either side predominately RW.

    Andre Ayew is getting on a bit and wages would be a problem probably but he is a very intelligent player.

    We need some leg's and aggression in midfield..

    Look at the difference Soro has made..

    He also looks to have a lot of quality also and on a pre contract.....experienced and at a good age..

    No brainer..
