Portsmouth’s financial problems have been well documented and Pompey have begun loaning out players in order to cut the ever rising costs at the club. West Ham have been linked with defender Jason Pearce but who is the man behind the rumour?
Having joined Portsmouth as an apprentice in 2004, Jason Pearce rose through the ranks, earning himself a reputation as an honest, no-nonsense defender with a drive to succeed. His professionalism despite his tender years earned him his first pro-contract in June 2006.

On 9 August 2007, Pearce moved along the south coast to Bournemouth, signing a two-year contract. On 4 January 2010, Pearce replaced Danny Hollands as first team captain, in a new-look structure that saw veteran striker Steven Fletcher become club captain.
Pearce was sold back to his old club Portsmouth on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £300,000, up to £600,000, on 24 June 2011. Pearce joined his new club alongside David Norris when the first team came back from absence on 1 July.

Pearce made his debut on 16 August 2011, against Reading, playing as a centre-back. He became an instant fan favourite establishing himself as one of the most consistent quality players in the team.
On March 3rd Pearce took the captain’s armband in an nPower Championship match against Middlesbrough in a 3-1 loss which could possibly be the clubs last match, this was too much for the 24 year old captain who was reduced to tears at the end of the 90 minutes.

Pearcey is different class. He wears his heart on his sleeve and the Hammers fans would love him. I’d be devastated if he left Fratton! PS Please make sure you overtake those Scummers!
West Ham certainly don’t need the player.
I reckon that the Loan fee will be around 5m (enough to keep Pompey afloat until they fulfil there fixtures)
Ah what price 2 points eh? Probably more than the 80k seater Olympic Stadium will cost them. You know what they say about Birds of a feather!
You reckon the loan fee will be around 5m?! What?! For a defender that costs 300k. What a bizarre statement.
