Getting this thread in early cause he's gonna be a star
Like all the best bits of Michael Carrick but has some actual self-confidence too.

That is correct.was glandular fever, not injury i think!
Oh yes, you are right about that!was glandular fever, not injury i think!
Hes still a kid. Hes still pretty small and would have to run around in the shower to get wet, so I'd say theres no chance of anything but the odd u21 game here and there.Is he good enough to crack the U21's this season?
Seems to have a bit more 'attitude' about him than Carrick too, which can be a great thing.Anybody with any info abiut this kid? Looks a clone version of carrick to me.
None of the above, really. His two most notable qualities are his tigerish energy and his superb tackling. Also a very good passer, good all-round technique and good game intelligence for his age, but the first two are key and not really suggested by the above comparisons.Some have said Carrick, some have said Scholes and some have said Pirlo. It is all good. He is from Oldham too I believe. Gods own country.
Was he the little mop headed lad? I remember him in the US watching him in one of the threads everyone was saying 'wow who's that?' (Or maybe it was just me )I saw him play in the NextGen Cup against Sporting Lisbon held in Singapore 2-3 months ago. Was one of our best players (together with Daeli, Barmby). Covers every blade of grass, yet not mad enough to cover gaps in front of our defence. Intercepts the ball well, really gets stuck in (even against Sporting's gigantic midfielders(. Passes the ball well enough 10-20 m. Vocal, commanding. Really like the look of him. Reminds me of a livelier version of Nicky Butt with slightly better passing ability.
I would say that the coolness and simplicity of his passing is also one of his most notable qualities. In that regard I do find him reminiscent of Carrick. I think the Scholes comparisons come from his range of passing, the fact that he is an Oldhamer and his build, which is also similar. As for Pirlo, well I am not too sure.None of the above, really. His two most notable qualities are his tigerish energy and his superb tackling. Also a very good passer, good all-round technique and good game intelligence for his age, but the first two are key and not really suggested by the above comparisons.
Yes, he's the mophead with hair like Ron Weasley from Harry Potters. Mind I'm well into my thirties and my two boys watch Harry Potter obviouslyI'd say he's a mixture of Carrick and Keane. And yes he was that mop headed player ghali.
Regardless of tackling the way he moves and deals with the ball is very very similar.The fact that Pearson is an excellent tackler and Scholes is... well... y'know... always seems to put paid to that comparison.
Yep definitely. Great awareness, excellent ball control, and that low centre of gravity.Regardless of tackling the way he moves and deals with the ball is very very similar.
Is this on any uk tv channels? Can't seem to find it even mentioned anywhere.Pearson starts for England under 19s today
