What a great signing! In addition to 136 League appearances, scoring 8 goals, Pearce has 24 Caps for England at under 17 and under 19 level.

Saturday could be a very interesting day.

Delighted with this signing!

I agree that this is our best signing of the summer, well worth waiting for. Just the striker to go and we are looking good.

Gulli, when you say 'best' signing, how do you mean?

It's hard to answer that without unintentionally sounding totally sarcastic. Simply, of all the players we have signed this summer he impresses in the most areas - A crucial position in the side that needed the right player, and he is at a good age to be experienced but still have room to improve and a re-sale value. He'll come straight into the side and be ready, but should also have a promising future.

Other players like Chappell and Cameron are exciting and have the potential to play at a higher level like Carayol, but there is no guarentee.

Anybody know if Pearce played for Barnet against us in the home game last season??

He played in the match at Barnet at the beginning of November which Barnet won 1 - 0

I wasnt sure if he played at Plainmoor, i noticed the Barnet centre half being half descent and wondered if it was Pearce.
Thanks for info.

Nope, he's not on their list of players on the back of the programme from that game so I would guess he wasn't their player at the time.

He was on-loan at Barnet from Sep - Dec and then returned to Notts County.

That's a prefect decent answer. I understand what you mean about the difficulty in answering such a question. I'm amazed none of the morons have been on giving it all the mouth before engaging brain. Amazed, but pleased.
For what it's worth, I concur. I feel he is the signing which represents best resale potential (he's most likely to be worth a fee to us, if not pound for pound the highest fee). He is also the biggest scalp. I think County rated him and world have kept him had they been able to give him the amount of pitch time he demanded.
I haven't seen enough of him to judge in terms of footballing ability, but I'm sure he's as good a footballer as Cameron or Chappel or even Harding.

All things considered, I make your assessment about right, even if he isn't the flashest, most eye-catching signing (which, I suspect, is how a Premier League fan would classify a 'best' addition).
