Wullie Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Smacks of Aaron Hughes - when he was on his way for a pittance, plenty people said "no great loss" - three years down the line we'd been through a succession of comical defensive signings for huge money and seen us play domestically and in big European games with a back four including Huntington, Edgar and Ramage, meanwhile he was racking up appearances as the captain of a mid-table team. Perch is good enough for us simply by virtue of how many games he's played over the last twelve months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I like Perchus, this is a sad one. But we have Anita as his replacement and seems like vainquer might be on his way. Gosling, shola and Williamson should be far ahead of him in the exit line. If we get rid of the lot I will be happy, bemused if not. Bemused if not seems like Aaron hughes all over again. Let's hope we actually get a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft to shift him for such a low fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 You can buy out your contract after 3 years if you signed it before 28. Two years if you sign it after 28. Ah, cheers LRD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've never really rated the guy, seems an odd move though. Unless we're going to add significant numbers to the squad this summer then surely you keep him around as a utility man? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 He's not spectacular but he's very useful - if we get a rake of injuries again this season players of Perch's ilk are ideal. I thought he was one of very few to come out of last season with any credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Strange one. Didn't seem to kick up a fuss about not being a regular, always did okay or better whenever he played in the past 12-18 months. Can't see the logic at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Must point towards Vainquer coming, just like williamson when Douglas was incoming. I see that looks on hold until we know what the hell is happening with buying a new cb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Terrible decision by whoever this, a man who if needed can adequately cover a number of positions on supposed low wages? I agree with Wullie, Ronaldo and Dave here. Ridiculous, even financially, to sell a player with his uses. Yes you wouldn't want him starting regularly but will come in and do a job when asked. A good professional and squad member. We may end up regretting this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Home-grown players requiring registration: Krul Williamson - down pecking order, Cardiff move mooted Perch - on the way out Gosling - unwanted; possibly out on loan Raylor - out for season Elliot Ameobi - please leave Saylor Ferguson - out on loan? Unless we place much faith in our youngsters turning good, there is a strong case to bring in some English players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Nothing like the Hughes situation. Perch is a terrible right-back and should be 5th/6th choice at best in midfield. Problem with Hughes was we didn't replace him properly but Perch should not be starting games ahead of Tiote, Cabaye, Sissoko & Anita in midfield. Also pushes Bigirimana further up the pecking order. He's done a good job but don't see him being a loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 He's not as good as Hughes but he's a reasonably able player in several positions including DM where he's been the best of anyone we've played there this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I just don't get the reaction that's all. Good player but not one we need. If he's playing 10-15 games a season in midfield then we're doing something wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I don't see any point in selling him, he's cheap as fuck, happy to sit on the bench, will cover a couple of positions and will fetch practically fuck all. Injuries crippled us last season, Perch is exactly the sort of player you want on your bench if you're not willing to spend good money on the squad.

He's done a good job but don't see him being a loss. Couldn't disagree more about him. I think as a central defensive midfielder he's not too bad an option. Not 1st or 2nsd choice no, but a good cover option. As a CH he again is good for 3rd/4th cover imo. RB well he isn't any great shakes ok, but as a last gasp option the lad gives us cover in 3 positions. On a small wage, with no trouble or dramas (fairly rare for young British players) Anita: Isnt a DM. imo. Tiote shouldn't be starting full stop. He's a liability. Cabaye. well he wont be starting: cos he's off. We are light in cover. Seems an odd decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
