pericard to southampton

[allylee]

;DStoke are hoping to snap up Wolves striker Jay Bothroyd on a month's loan today in time for him to feature in tomorrow's Championship showdown at Watford.

And City striker Vincent Pericard is set to join Southampton on a month's loan after falling well down the pecking order at the Britannia.



Manager Tony Pulis has been in negotiation with opposite number Mick McCarthy over the last few days to try and tie up Bothroyd's signature.

"He's a player who's still young and has always had loads of ability," said Pulis from his Watford training camp.

"He can play up front or through the middle and will freshen things up for us. We obviously want him available for tomorrow, but we'll have to see exactly what part he plays."

Bothroyd will be a timely addition to Stoke's promotion-chasing squad tomorrow as Pulis is definitely without suspended winger Liam Lawrence and could also be minus striker Mama Sidibe because of a tweaked hamstring.

Bothroyd graduated through the ranks at Arsenal, but the 25-year-old Londoner left Highbury in a ?1m move to Coventry in 2000 without appearing for the Gunners.

A three-year stay at Coventry was followed by a curious 12-month stint in Italy with Perugia before returning to English football in 2004.

He spent the 2004/05 season on loan to Blackburn in the Premiership, making 11 appearances, before signing for Charlton for an undistinguished campaign in 2005/06.

His fortunes rose considerably at Wolves, however, after being signed a week after Mick McCarthy took charge in July 2006.

Bothroyd netted 12 league goals in 32 starts and 23 substitute appearances for Wolves, but has been frozen out of the first-team picture since their FA Cup defeat at Cardiff on February 16.

His last Wolves goal happened to be at Watford in a 4-1 FA Cup victory back in January.

Pericard, whose struggle to establish himself at Stoke was hampered by a spell in prison for a motoring offence earlier this season, has made just five appearances this term.

Periwinkle

Has Pearson been living in a cave since 2003?

[bayernoatcake]

;D It just gets better and better and better! Pericard and Ricketts potentially up front for them! ;D

[Pretty Little Boother]

...Is this true or a load of bollocks? Why would Southampton take him? They're much too good for him!

I didn't rate Nigel Pearson before. He's just lost his last shred of credibility

He's gone bananas.

Bad enough for the Southampton boys that he's ex-Pompey. Wait 'til they find out he hasn't been any good at football since 2003 ;D

They'll love him down there.

[knowles]

Quite possibly the craziest decision ever by a manager.

Step 1) Take former England international Michael Ricketts on trial
Step 2) Get former Juve star Vincent Pericard on loan

I love Southampton- they gave us Fuller & Higgy and are now taking Vince ;D

[FullerMagic]

Aah, I see what he's thinking now.

It's the Pericard-Ricketts dream team he's after.

[**** Pulling Himself Off]

Mock him all you want.

He could turn out to be a legend down there.

[bayernoatcake]

I shall mock and if he does become a legend well done for him. But for us he has been absolutley fookin useless and for this mocking shall still occur!

[Stick It On Cort's Head]

Don't they have Stern John , saganowski etc.

Perhaps we are in for one of them

[allylee]

bradley wright plillips he got in trouble for somthing along with nathan dyer

[northstokie]

If he does well and gets his confidence up you wouldn't want him back then?

[RAF]

I've heard Kidsgrove Town turned down the chance of signing Periwinkle on loan.

[mikeyb99]

Let's not get too excited folks, remember its only a one-month no-obligation loan!

Unless he suddenly does a 'Kenwyn Jones' and overnight becomes a top-class player!?!

[Premiership Titanic Captain]

There is a God! Pericard is finally leaving!

[RAF]

Did the fucker ever arrive is the question!

And remind me when that donkey turned a top class player?!?!

[PONTAFCE]

My boss is a southampton fan and his is doin alot of cursing after reading this ha.

[Godo]

Pearson's obviously been living in a Chinese pipe!


I hate sitting in traffic on long car journey's but if Pericard wants a lift down there I'm available.

The £3-4k per week paid to Pericard compared to the moments of quality/effort he's provided equates to about £37,500 a minute.

[RAF]

There is an Air Force Chinook at the ready with one Vincent Periwinkle as the only passenger for a one way trip to St Marys on standby as we speak.

[knowles]

Off goes Vincey Wincey!

[bayernoatcake]

H-can't You attach him to the bottom of Eurofighter and then drop him there? Seems a bit more fun to me!

[RAF]

It doesn't have the thrust to weight ratio to take off with the useless fat twat on the missile rail, the Chinook however could carry him as an underslung load!

[potters11]

Just confirmed by official text, Pericard joins the Saints on a season long loan.

[Nonum]

OFFICAL TEXT HES GONE!

[bayernoatcake]

;D That'll do! Oh the joys of seeing Vince being Chinooked out of the Brit ;D If only the only the RAF would do this!

[RAF]

Best news of the season, the most useless drain on our wage bill since TP Junior has been sent off to send Southampton down.
Now watch the useless twat score a hattrick!

H

Airforce Chinook 153 airborne and en route the Brit ETA 25 minutes. ;D
