Babylon Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Uhm, Pearson often plays 443. In fact, it was his tinkering with that last season that killed some of our good form. His tinkering? You mean when we had loads of injuries and suspensions and we had to go with 3 in the middle (one being Sol). Bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbelladave Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Because in the words of Fleetwood fans "he's as good on the left wing as he is up front". I can't see him starting ahead of Nugent and Beckford, we'll have Waghorn and Fuctas as cover up front, but we currently have very little in the wide positions. Whether it's starting or coming on as sub, I can see him playing wide quite often as well as up front if pace is needed. Many of his goals have been cutting in from the left and running from deep to get in behind the defence. He's quick and puts in a lot of effort, so I think he has the qualities that could mean he works out there. Could be very wrong, but with the balance of the squad as it stands prior to more ins and outs I think, it's a fair shout. Didn't see that (the comment that is), what I have seen in the few clips I have viewed is a player somewhat like Nugent who does not play 'up top' but prefers to run at defences with the ball at his feet and like Nugent he likes to pull out to the left. IIRC, NFP has played Nugent wide on occasion and although he worked hard getting up and down his flank he virtually disappeared as a goal threat, it is that this may be duplicated with Vardy that I find troubling. Now if we are really going to play 4-3-3 or some variation, that really could be quite interesting....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I certainly think it's worth trying him there before we think about signing another winger. At least in the pre season games, which we haven't even played one of yet.

Corky Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 "His height naturally offers some variety to our attacking options, but he is a very gifted player whose technical strengths should not be underestimated." Nige, you could've just said "he's got a good touch for a big man". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxer Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 I'm very happy with this. If Beckford stays we're potentially going to have a ridiculously good front 4 to rotate, providing that Vardy and Futacs settle in nicely. Winger and centre back now please Nige.

Long Eaton Fox Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Read this football league regulation. I think it means no compensation is due as Pompey offered Futacs a worse contract. http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20110629/section-6-players_2293633_2125731#64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Another young, relatively untried player. We'll have to hope Pearson knows what he's doing. Same with the others, I don't know Futacs as I've seen only seen him play once. We must trust Pearson again. There is literally nothing else we can do. This, but ive got a good feeling he will be a useful player for us. He is hungary after all . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Hmm 433 Futacs down the middle, Vardy on the left, Marshall on the right Danns, James/Drinkwater, King in the centre Could be an interesting plan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they knew he was going surely they would offer him the same anyway just for him to refuse it and then get a bit of compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxer Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Or if Beckford goes. Nugent/Vardy/Futacs/Waghorn. Agreed but as much as I'd like to see waggy play a part next season, I'm just not sure he will. Lets hope im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 18 July 2012 Share Posted 18 July 2012 Happy with this. The squad's getting there now. If I was in charge, my next priority would be a defender or two, then one more midfielder (winger/CAM/DM), maybe a backup GK, then that should be it, unless we can find more players with potential for the youth teams.

But even if he did they would be no wrose off, just paying the same money? Maybe they didnt, I dont know, but you'd think they would want compensation.

Well no, maybe they could only afford to keep him if he took a wage cut. They were in pretty bad shape financially in the Championship, it isn't going to be any easier in League One.
