Strokes Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 I think there was a crossover period, but he went back to his parent club. I have it on good authority that once Sven was out of the picture, he wasn't interested in playing for us anymore.Sousa bought him here on a years loan, sven took charge around october, i dont think he came back the following year.

indierich06 Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 Sousa bought him here on a years loan, sven took charge around october, i dont think he came back the following year. The Doctor was talking about Gelson Fernandes, as was I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 The Doctor was talking about Gelson Fernandes, as was I. Ah, my bad. Yes, Gelson Fernandes, the former national hero for scoring against Spain at the last World Cup (see my signature). Played it sulky, joined Udinese and Sporting (with little success) and now found his level in the Swiss Super League with FC Sion... And I had such high hopes.

Bilo Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 No problem, they'll just wait for a set-piece. Morgan's useful in the air and Vitor was always surprisingly good for the technically proficient defender he was. That would be a tough defence, good going forward too.

Finnegan Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 No problem, they'll just wait for a set-piece. Or one of the full backs to be eighty yards out of position and whip in a cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 He was immense when he played for us and he'll be desperate for first-team action. Also, he seems to be on the cheap side when it comes to transfer fees (that is, if you believe the transfermarkt.co.uk website). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 Can anyone honestly see Nigel Pearson going out and signing a young Portuguese defender? No matter how good he is, he is not a Pearson player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 Can anyone honestly see Nigel Pearson going out and signing a young Portuguese defender? No matter how good he is, he is not a Pearson player. Like a young French midfielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 Of course they'll be the odd exception, like Tunchev. I always suspected that was a Mandaric signing though. I'd put my life on it Vitor will not have even crossed his mind. Alex Baptiste will have, that's a Pearson centre back, but Vitor? No chance at all.

lcfcsnow Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 What constitutes a "Pearson player" exactly? I'm curious... Well if we're talking centre backs it is no frills, do the basics and thats that. Portuguese and european defenders in general have much more to their game to be stuck in a rigid 442, it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we haven't just played a strict 4-4-2 this season and are you telling me the only/main reason Pearson wouldn't go for a player like Vitor is because the is "too good"?

Dan LCFC Posted 16 May 2013 Share Posted 16 May 2013 I also don't see it happening but I think in a lot of ways it should. Cheap, young and quality. We'll do well to find a better deal this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 16 May 2013 Author Share Posted 16 May 2013 Bert said there is no chance that we will re sign Vitor. But last night I was in awe of the man, I decided to rewind it twice just to see him collect his medal. What a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when Pearson signs a good player, it's down to the chairman? I suppose Mandaric scouted him personally and forced Pearson to sign him against his will. Just like Top went out and signed Knockaert this summer as well I presume? Pearson's got his faults, but give him some credit when he does something right FFS.
