Pearce going to cross the divide?

Spoilsport. Make him the mascot then!

 

What about some half time entertainment? They could do a full Peter Kay style Amarillo with him dressed as our pet skate. At the end he can walk around the side of the pitch with a collection bucket, begging each an every single person for their forgiveness for previous acts of cheating and a few pennies to help pay for Tals wages.

Don't know much about the player named, but if he's a good signing for us - then there's no arguement.

Tough on Pomp*y ?....maybe, but we lost Best, Dyer and Surman for only a fraction of their real value -just to keep the club solvent and pay salaries when it was our turn. It's par for the course when a club is in administration.

 

If Pomp*y can rebuild - as we did - then they can buy themselves a new side - as we had to.

 

my only hope is that we have seen the end of the scathing comments that come form a lunatic fringe who continually condemn any player (unfortunate) enough to play for both teams in their career.

 

That somewhat exclusive list includes ; Peter Crouch, Alan Ball ; Mick Channon and Ron Davies ! I don't think any of them ever thought they might (one day ) play for both clubs when they first signed for the other.

 

I really think we should be past that by now .

Isn't Pearce a Big pompey fan? If so I wouldn't take him. Plus I don't want to help them out financially for a player we might not even use.

 

He is a London lad and supports Chelsea apparently. I'm sure he has a soft spot for Pompey given the time he has spent there, but isn't a Pompey fan as such.

I thought he was a pompey fan, glad to hear that isn't the case. I don't mind ex skate players being in the team. I just thought if he was pompey fan and was being forced out that his heart might not be in the move. If he has potential and isn't against switching sides then thats fine I suppose. I just don't like the idea of helping them out financially.

Pearce got mugged by Lambert for the first goal at bournemouth last season. We can do better but i'd take him on loan til the end of the season, if only to annoy the skates, it'd be hilarious

lambert is the NPC player of the year, the best striker outside of the prem (and would be up there in it)..an absolute beast of a powerful striker...

most CB get mugged by lambert that he plays against

So we're saying then if we sign him, we're signing a defender that gets done easily by the best striker outside the Premier League. So what if we do go up and we have to use him. He'll get mugged by every striker up there, on the basis that the best one outside the top flight mugs him.

 

Jason Pearce is not a signing we should be making, nor a potential signing to get excited about. At League Two level he was very good. At League One he was good. At Championship level he is adequate. I don't think these rumours are true. I sincerely hope they aren't either.

yes...as I believe, like most players under adkins, that he will improve...

Good luck to you in proving that. Whilst a lot of people were very disappointed, I had a completely open mind. I couldn't believe people were writing him off because one or two of his headers against Forest at home looped into the air.

 

Tadanari Lee? I was very excited and that excitement has been well founded. He has been brilliant for us, in my opinion.

 

I have seen Jason Pearce for an entire season and I know what I'm talking about. Signing him would be a mistake in my view.

He's good but an absolute beast no - a number of wily experienced CBs have neutralised Lambert quite comfortably -sometimes too comfortably and thats why, at times this season, we've looked very predictable. And to repeat Pearce did well against Lambert at their place - the goal came from his slack attempt to shepherd the ball out of play, not some mismatch in skill.

Think he would be a brilliant signing, Pearce is aggressive and gets stuck in. Our blip started when Martin came in and finished when Jos returned. Martin is not good enough cover he's slow, flatfooted and tackles light Surman used to (never) SIGN PEARCE NOW!

 

I cannot understand how you can get so excited about Jason Pearce to the extent where you type in capitals and use the word 'brilliant'.

 

The fact that he's aggressive and gets stuck in' is no reason to sign a player either, I might add. I watched Dorchester Town a few years ago, one of their players tackled anything that had a shadow and basically committed GBH all evening. Should we sign him? 34 now and knees gone, but still, he's aggressive and gets stuck in.

He shows passion and gets stuck in which we all know is far more important than any actual playing ability. If we had a team of defenders and midfielders who get stuck in, dont mess about with it and get get it long, together with the much saught after pacy strikers who aren't lazy c*nts like Lambert and chase the ball down we would have the perfect team. If only Pearce was a Saints fan as well he'd surely be the perfect signing.

Exactly. Why do people think Torres isn't scoring at Chelsea and Carroll not scoring at Liverpool? Lazy bastards the both of them and not fans of their clubs.

 

I don't know how good Pearce is, but why should it matter than Lambert scored against him? Name me one defender at any level that hasn't made an error at some point. It's one game.

 

If you review the thread and my comments on Pearce across the board it's not about that one single incident. Oh wait, it happened twice. It's not about those two incidents.

The late great Bobby Stokes crossed the divide. he was born there and some skates acknowledge his footballing ability

 

I don't think his move there was particularly successful as despite being a local lad he received a pretty torrid time down there.

 

Pretty sure our friend Micky Channon was well liked at the Eastern end of the M27 and he was loved at ours.

 

Surprised it took 48 posts for someone to remember Channon's time there.Just goes to show there are too many youngsters on here!

I've seen some crazy explanations for our blip, but to make out it was due to Martin really takes the biscuit. Martin proved to be a more than able stand-in for Jos, now have total confidence that if needed (hopefully not though) Martin could come back in. But we do need another CB, if not right now then in the future. 3 CBs is not enough (Raidi and Dan will be gone before we play in the PL).

So in one of Lambert's worst games last season he got an assist and scored a beautiful free-kick.

 

Shows just how ****ing good he is. :D

 

As for Pearce, I've hardly seen him play. But it would annoy the fishy few, so let's do it.

 

It was one (actually the last) of a string of poor all-round performances by Lambert at that point, and he basically scored or assisted in all of them. Not sure that one was down to Pearce, but as far as signing cover and weakening a team we have to play, fine by me. Better he's not playing for anyone on April 7 than playing for them, anyway.

Taking him a long time to drive along the M27. Is there actually any susbtance to this rumour?

 

Doubt it. Would be surprised to see any new additions what so ever.

 

Anyone else just bogs the squad down for no reason. We have Jaidi, Martin, Jos and Fonte as our CB's. (Dan is also back in training)

According to an itk poster on Pompeyonline, he turned us west ham and Ipswich down.

 

Don't blame him. He wouldn't earn any more (As he would have been a loan, and still under the wage of his parent club) and he'd get very few games. He could possibly be sat as a sub for the rest of the year if he moved to any of those.

As if he'd turn down the chance of a crack at the Premier League???? My guess is that this is all newspaper bullshyte and your iTK fish rapist is talking out of his overstretched stinkhole ! :)

 

He isn't my itk poster at all. It's gazzpfc who I have noticed does actually have a contact at pfc (an its not like they are professional or anything and keep quiet). I could quite imagine him turning clubs down tbf he certainly did when he was at the cherries.

I meant 'Your' as in the one you refer to, I was not insinuating that you have pet skate or anything ;)

Also getting stupidly sent off at Crystal Palace when he was key to Redknapp's genius tactic of "lump it up to Crouchie and see what happens", which left us utterly clueless against Man United's reserves on the final day.

 

I thought Crouch played some of his best football with us. IT took a while for the team to treat him more like a 6 foot striker and play the ball into feet but once that happened he was bloody brilliant for us.

 

Liverpool used him as a hoof target and he went back to looking average for long times again IMO.

I don't know why people are having a hissy fit over us not having a pompey fan potentially playing for us, James Ward-Prowse, one of our brightest academy prospects was a STH at Fratton Park when he was a kid. I don't see many objecting to his involvement

Third time I'll say this, Jason Pearce is not a Portsmouth fan. He is a Chelsea fan. How do I know? I interviewed him for Cherries Player in 2009 when he played for AFC Bournemouth and he said so.
