A bit of experience that can cover both full backs. Short term deal (end of season) this is true but no more.

However, there must be questions over wage and fitness surely. Also whether he would even want to play for leicester or derby. I'm pretty sure he could get a lucrative final pay day abroad due to his reputation.

Providing he can prove his fitness and doesn't want the Earth in wages I see no reason why this couldn't be another astute Edworthy / Powell / Phillips type of Pearson business.

Mainly a right back, isn't he?

 

If his fitness and mindset are right, this could make sense. Right back is possibly the position where we have least cover.

 

I know that the likes of Moore, Wasyl and Miquel can play there, but the first 2 definitely look more convincing at centre back; not seen much of Miquel at full back.

 

NP might have justified concerns about how many matches De Laet can cope with in the next 3 months. He's had 1 or 2 injuries in the past and has a very energetic style of play, with his forward runs....

I was under the impression that Miquel is left footed and if anything a left back.

Might be something in this, Pearson has a couple of tines brought in experience in the 2nd half of the season. Marc Edworthy 08/09 then Nobby Solano 09/10

Phillips?

KP already this season.

Forgot about him ha. With Moore coming back from injury I'd say we are covered in that position anyway.

QPR will know doubt offer him a ridiculous wage also.

Major difference being that I would assume Ferreira would be after a wage and a half, I doubt the likes of Chris Powell or Marc Edworthy were trying to match or even surpass our top earners.

Pearson brings in older players who want football and can add to the team and dressing room, maybe a bit cynical but I'd imagine Ferreira wants money more than football and the only thing he'd be adding is a ridiculous wage to our weekly bill.

Which is why QPR or Forest would be perfect.

35 and played 8 games since 2011?

 

Can't see this happening?

I believe Ferreira was widely considered one of the best full backs in Europe when Mourinho signed him for Chelski. Did he bring him from Porto? Apologies if that's wrong. After a good first seasom he kinda drifted into obscurity.

Not for me.. lets not shake up this cohesive team any more.

Doesn't strike me as a Pearson type of signing, especially if he's only played 8 times in 2/3 years!

 

Seems as it's just agents/players trying to get a cheeky pay day. Thank god Sven's gone.
