Incredibly frustrating, would be a good signing for us
Agree, him and Lyle up top would cause havoc.
Don't you think Taylor and Bonne would be a great partnership if they ever get game time together ? 45 minutes so far.
I do like Bonne, I think he gets a lot of praise for his endeavour and passion, and we warm to it because of his quick rise up the ranks.
But he’s not on the level of Grant. Could be proven wrong if he gets further game time with Taylor, I think he’s a good option to have but I see him as our third choice forward in an ideal scenario. As harsh as that may sound with his record.
We definitely need one decent striker and one decent box to box midfielder, and do think we missed a trick in not bringing in another loan player earlier in the month.
In addition, I also think we would benefit signing a commanding '1st ball' CB. Especially one that had quicker feet than Pearce and didn't cause us to defend such a deep line.
Having said that, Pearce has attributes which could prove valuable in a relegation scrap.
My concern with Pearce right now is that he is developing a habit of trying to grab opposition players around the waist with both hands as they go past him. He did once last night and then in another recent game. It isn't particularly subtle and not great if he does it in the wrong area (by that I mean the penalty area, not the opposition players balls!).

no
Have you tried warming gently in a pan over a low gas ?
They're going to buy out his contract with the money they get selling Maddison to Birmingham.
And, before anybody says it, not Brighton.

I heard ESI were looking at getting in Kante but they decided Cullen was better suited so are pursuing that instead.
