'Quality' is what counts insists Nigel Pearson, as he looks to add some defensive steel

Nigel Pearson is set to delve back into the transfer market but only for the right clientele that suit his vision for the club.

With the clear out seemingly over, Pearson has some defensive targets in mind but is adament his playing staff will be about quality, not quantity.

"With Sol (Bamba) and Matt Mills leaving, we may try and do some more business. It is important to keep the balance in the squad right and improve the quality."

Pearson has already made key acquisitions to his first team squad in Ritchie De Laet, Matty James and Jamie Vardy, a sharp contrast in numbers to last summers big spending under Sven Goran Eriksson.

Pearson has trimmed that expenditure as he looks for a more effective stream line squad with a more conservative approach to the transfer market.


"It is my call to decide what is the best for the long term future."
