Pearson window shopping for a defender
 |
| CHRIS LUCKETTI |
NIGEL Pearson is hoping to add a defender to his squad before the loan window slams shut this evening.
A deal for Sheffield United's veteran centre back Chris Lucketti fell through yesterday, as the 36-year-old's wife has been taken ill.
Pearson said he will continue to work on bringing a new face in to bolster the squad for the crucial run-in, before the window closes at 5pm.
"It would have been nice to have someone in by now, but with a bit of luck we will have something done on Thursday," said the Saints boss.
"We need to strengthen at the back, that's the area we are looking at.
"With Andrew Davies out long term and Claus' retirement it's an area we do need to look to strengthen in."
Pearson added: "We were trying to do the deal for Chris.
"He wanted to come, but his wife's in hospital, so it's a no go."

Yes Bairdy and Thomas (the tank) is the way forward. I am relieved we are looking for a CB, its really vital we get someone before the deadline.

I wouldn't go near the money grabbing git. Thinks he is better than he is, look how quickly he was dropped from the Fulham side, shame cause I used to enjoy watching him get skinned every Saturday night on match of the day. Just cause he argued with Kelvin doesn't make him any good. He was responsible for as many mistakes as Kelvin last season anyway.

I think this is an interesting point. Maybe it's no coincidence that Davis' performances have been markedly better with a defence shorn of Baird.

With a goal difference of -17, it doesn't take a genius to realise that the defensive area is seriously lacking. You can have the greatest strikers in the world but if your defense leak like a sieve they pretty much cancel each other out.

We are not scoring either, in case you had not realised, defense, mid field, up front????? nothing is cancelling anything out. we are crap all over. anyway soccer net released a story yesterday stating that WGS wanted to sign Adebayor, unfortunateley our Chairman thought it was not a good deal..... Go figure. 3rd top scorer in the premiership currently.

I had quite thought that you would both be able to use your initiative, but it would appear that you have none!
I had always considered that that spelling errors and errors in typing were rather different, but I now appreciate that for some it presents them with an unsurmountable problem!
With regard the spelling of Spiderman, as I left the comic reading age many years ago, I could not be certain whether there was another way or not, having seen some of the spelling on these pages! Maybe there was a 'text' form!
Regarding schooling! Yes! I did go to school, in the SO postal area as it happens! I have endeavoured to improve on a very poor start in life!
