Peschfan Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Looks like they are trying to build a strong side to go straight back up Veteran striker Paul Peschisolido has joined Luton Town on a one-year deal. The 36-year-old moves to Kenilworth Road after helping take Derby County into the Premier League. The former Birmingham City and Fulham man played for an hour in Derby's play-off final victory over West Brom at Wembley in May. Peschisolido has made more than 500 appearances in English football in a career spanning 15 years, including spells at Stoke, West Brom, Sheffield United, QPR and Norwich. During that time he has scored 136 goals, 24 of them coming during three years at Pride Park. He becomes manager Kevin Blackwell's sixth signing of the summer after the arrival of Dave Edwards, Alan Goodall, Darren Currie, Paul Furlong and Chris Perry.

sloth8 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 It would have been nice for him to have seen some Premiership action with Derby, but this is ultimately better for him anyway. I am thinking he could score about 8-10 goals for Luton this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueviking Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hatters face Peschisolido heartache View GalleryPlayer's calf injury could rule him out for the season Paul Peschisolido's Luton career – and indeed his professional career – could be over. Hatters boss Kevin Blackwell gave that gloomy prognosis on his summer signing at today's press conference ahead of Town's trip to Walsall. Peschisolido will see a specialist tomorrow morning to determine the extent of a calf muscle injury and then a decision will be taken on whether he needs an operation. Blackwell said: "If he has the operation Paul is finished at the football club, it'll be the end of his season. He has ruptured the inside muscle of his calf. It stops you power running, which you need in today's game." He added that if the operation went ahead, it would take the player - who at 36 is in the final throws of his professional career - a further year to recover. The Canadian signed on a one-year deal this summer. The boss stated earlier this month that he believed the Walsall game was a realistic target for the striker. But now the manager was clearly upset by the latest setback: "You've only got to look at what Paul Peschisolido has done for us in a couple of games to show you want he brings to us," he said.
