Pearce Happy to Join Hansa

US international Heath Pearce was over the moon after putting pen to paper on a two-year deal to join esteemed Bundesliga returnees Hansa Rostock.

The erstwhile FC Nordsjælland ace also had overtures from other German sides, Championship clubs Watford and Wolverhampton, as well as a team in each of the Premiership, Eredivisie and SAS Liga.

"I am extremely excited and optimistic about this next step in my career," Pearce exclaimed to American Soccer Daily. "(I admire) the passion in the area for Hansa. Win or lose, they are supported."

So whats up with Onyewu?

Last rumored transfer possibilities were Birmingham City and Reading, but nothing materialized.

Still up in the air. We should know something soon.

I think either of those two teams would be a good fit for him. Also, if all fail in the EPL, he should not turn away a good team from the Championship that is seeking promotion to the EPL next season. In that way he could get to establish himself in that team before they get to the promised land. I wish him luck.

Pearce is nothing special. congrats to him.
Convey is a better option.

Pearce is nothing special.

Obviously, the technical team at this German club and you do not see eye-to-eye on talent. Convey may be better, but isn't he with a pro team in England already?

Two different players playing two different positions.

Pearce is a fullback.

Convey is a winger who was tried in that position with mixed results. He's much better in midfield.
