There are rules that you can't be loaned out when you had played for 2 different teams in the same season (U21s etc doesn't count) so might be not.So my Barnsley mate has been watching him all season and is convinced he has what it takes to play in the PL, I value his opinion and he generally always manages to separate duds from genuine quality. He has bang on the money with Stones and has said that a few hype cases (Noble Lazerus, Digby etc) are just that. Maybe a run out in the cup before a loan ?
I thought that was 2 teams per calendar year rather than 2 a season ?There are rules that you can't be loaned out when you had played for 2 different teams in the same season (U21s etc doesn't count) so might be not.
I don't remember it clearly.That was true on FM though and they usually simulate well when it comes to rules.I thought that was 2 teams per calendar year rather than 2 a season ?
Just check and yes he's cup-tied having already played for Barnsley in the 2nd round.Mind you, he is probably cup tied anyway.
Really? You mean off the pitch? Interesting because I always thought he was one of the most intelligent players I have seen at u18-u21 level. He reads the game brilliantly and made countless interceptions every match. One of the biggest reasons I thought he might get fast tracked to the first team by now.I don't remember it clearly.That was true on FM though and they usually simulate well when it comes to rules.
About the future PL player part he's technically good enough the main issue IMO is his mental age is few years below his actual age according to his coaches so might take him times to get there.

Just goes to show how little we can judge about these youth players only by watching academy/u21 football.
Not sure I quite agree with that. True, he tends to be conservative-ish in possession as a consequence of his position, despite having more eye-catching passes in his locker. But he doesn't look especially pliable, tactically, which seems to be LVG's number one priority with youngsters. I've only ever seen Pearson play his game one way, regardless of the team or the opponent. Obviously we can only know a little bit about these youngsters, but he doesn't seem like someone who'd adapt well to awkward instructions or unfamiliar ways of playing.Surely we have something lined up for him in the championship to have recalled him ?
On the ball he's quite a LVG type player btw.
He is a cracking player and one I'd love to see do well at United. The main problem is how and when does he get chances with the midfielders ahead of him? I just can't see it happening at this point unfortunately.Not sure I quite agree with that.

Which is not a criticism, by the way. LVG's overwhelming preference for moulding player to system rather than vice versa is a weakness not a strength, and not every player can be a Daley Blind.
That would be another step up for him. See how he does.PNE is after him.
Hope that's bullshit. Even if we can't find room for him he's worth more than that.According to Daily Mirror, Pearson is joining Preston for £100,000.
Damn, that's a bargain for Preston.According to Daily Mirror, Pearson is joining Preston for £100,000.
No surprise.This club is terrible at selling player.Thought sell him for less than normal compensation fee for an U18s player is a bit ridiculous.Hope that's bullshit. Even if we can't find room for him he's worth more than that.
Yep & we usually get fleeced when buying!No surprise.This club is terrible at selling player.Thought sell him for less than normal compensation fee for an U18s player is a bit ridiculous.
Would be a nice move for him.Seems they need a CDM as well so might fit it right away.
Not even talk about whether he'll make it, it's funny to see him get sold before some of the less talented players in the same age group as him (Weir,Grimshaw,etc,...).If that's true, then that's just beyond annoying/frustrating.
Exactly. But to me, it's the fact that hasn't even been given a chance in the first team. Not even a 2 minute cameo in a Carling Cup or anything.Not even talk about whether he'll make it, it's funny to see him get sold before some of the less talented players in the same age group as him (Weir,Grimshaw,etc,...).
I wouldn't complain much about Pearson but generally LVG's far from exceptional at the moment.Tyler Blackett is a perfect example.In fairness to Van Gaal, which is extremely hard to give these days, I think he's an exceptional judge of young talent. If the club think it's right to move him on, then I'd support that viewpoint. I can't think of single youth player we've let go that has confounded expectations. Someone tell me I'm wrong. Personally I haven't seen enough of Pearson to judge his ability to adapt to the top echelons of the game.
In regards to the fee, I would suggest that it is heavily performance/incentive based and likely includes a sell-on clause.
Tyler Blackett had a lot do with Van Gaal's fetish for a left footed LCB.I wouldn't complain much about Pearson but generally LVG's far from exceptional at the moment.Tyler Blackett is a perfect example.
Yeah, can't find a spot for Pearson but let's keep Fellaini and play him everywhere, #10, 9, 8, 6 anywhere just so we can limit the chances of the young players we have at the club, Goss and Pereira too suffer from the same fate, LVG the stubborn idiot made his mind up about him and even though the Lads matured he won't change his view on him. But its okay we've got great granddad Carrick and granddad Schwienstiger who needs a future ehIf that's true, then that's just beyond annoying/frustrating.
