Disagree with pretty much everything you say there to be honest.

Liverpool had the 3rd best defense last year which is pretty good considering the disastrous league campaign they had. Agger and Skrtel were at the heart of that defense.

Also City the league champions had a number of bids turned down for Agger.

Anyway this thread is about Pearse who I doubt will end up at Liverpool.



Even Villa have a better defensive record this seasonWink Anyway stats can be deceiving. Stephen Ward was part of an Irish defence that conceded 2 goals in 11 matches last year... The point is a half decent CB wouldnt be out of his depth at Liverpool IMO, and who knows Pearce could pall into that category

Skrtel and Agger are very good defenders. I think both suffer without the other though. Not sure if sorrel has the ball skills for Rodgers passing game either. But he is very solid. Better last season than this though.

I don't know how much truth is in the Pearce rumour. I haven't seen much of him but you would think he would be a squad player if signed.

The irony is a lasd you don't rate at all (Shane long ) made mince meat out of them on the opening day. Agger is possibly the most over-rated centre half around

In fairness Citizen i don't think anyone on here doesn't rate Long?  If that's what your getting at.

Agree Agger is seriously overrated. He gets found out all the time and when he comes up against pace and power he especially gets torn to pieces.

Wrong again.

I have said a number of times that Long is our number one striker.

Nobody said that.

But it appears its more than footballing reasons keeping him out of the side.

On a positive note Pearce has been playing from the start tonight, due to Morrisson being ruled out.

He is better than O'Dea and should've been in the squad in the first place.

Sorry, that didn't paste well:

READING REBEL ALEX PEARCE CLOSING IN ON LIVERPOOL SWITCH

ABOVE: Alex Pearce could be playing in red in the summer West Brom and Norwich are also keen but the Republic of Ireland defender would jump at the chance of a move to Anfield.

1st March 2013 By Jon West

READING defender Alex Pearce is closing in on a switch to Liverpool.

Pearce, 24, is out of contract in the summer and played under Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers in 2009.

The Kop chief needs to replace retirement-bound Jamie Carragher, and Pearce would not cost a penny.

West Brom and Norwich are also keen but the Republic of Ireland defender would jump at the chance of a move to Anfield.

Royals manager Brian McDermott knows the chances of keeping him are slim.

McDermott, who dropped Pearce after a poor display in the 2-1 defeat at Stoke on February 9, said: “We will see where he will be in the summer. At this moment in time nothing looks to be signed.”
