Any links to said video?

He *MIGHT* have had a shandy.

The only Westley signing left is Huntington. He didn’t sign Pearson.

Westley may well have been a wally but with Hunts he brought us a real gem!
Some of the others though!! What was the name of the maniac midfield tackler whose definition of tackle had to include both feet off the ground! Slide tackles from bloody yards away !! Maniac he was, but I can remember thinking he was indispensable at the time !!
Welsh or Walsh it was*

Grayson, circa £300k from memory, Jan window, 2016.

With Liam Grimsaw thrown in as a 2 for 1 deal.

ha ha, cheers!

So that would value Pearson at £299999.99 then !!!!

Please don't mention Liam Grimshaw.

I've still got bad memories of him running out of play at Accrington.

 

[GloucesterPete]

Not for me.

We saw the best of him.

AM is a better player than BP imho.

He's class, if he leaves Bournemouth then it'll be to another well-paying side looking at automatic promotion.

Decidedly average at best against us though 🤔

Even the best players in the world have off days, and shit ones have good days. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to ignore his time with us and make a judgment on one game.

He's well liked by Bournemouth fans.

There's a video going around on social media with Ben Pearson saying..
"Three years at Bournemouth and I'll be back"
Would you have him?

Yes, but I don't want to wait 3 years.

 

[northender2]

Not for me.

We saw the best of him.

but in 3 years time, we'll be losing McCann to another championship club for next to nothing when his contract runs down, Pearson would be a decent replacement but no chance he'll come back with our current ambition

In fairness we managed to bag McCann who is as good as and may even be better - let’s see what time brings.
One of the biggest criticisms of late and rightly so is letting players go and not replacing them with as good as or better?
For now and if given a choice it would be McCann all day long and back again over Pearson for me - now that’s put the cat amongst the pigeons 😉

 

[Motion Man]

All academic but he’s the type of player that could still do a good job well into his 30’s.

 

[JJ_PNE]

Probably just taking the piss out of our transfer policy, i.e. Cunningham came back after 3 ish years.

 

[Baldygit]

What is it with some fans who want to sign ex players -they've gone, some have openly criticised the club and some (most) are past their run out date

A lot of the criticism is justified. He, like others, has ambitions to play at the highest level. Something the club doesn't have at this time.

 

[andyg156]

Just looks like he is having a laugh with a pne fan while on the lash.
If anything good on him for playing along with it.

 

[Ando60]

Oh goody.

Another Ben Pearson thread.

I know, we really struggle as a fan base to let players go….. he’s gone, get over it , move on.

 

[cpnend]

…………… get over it , move on.

Agreed, and as a side benefit I trust we’ll never hear about that bloody hat trick again.
