BTW who was the last player we've singed with a beard?
Grabban.George Best?
I was a bit nonplussed by this potential signing until I read his info on Wikipedia:
"Benjamin David Pearson (born 4 January 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for the pride of lancashire preston north end. Pearson can also play in a number of other positions including goalkeeper; left back; centre back; right back; left wingback; right wingback; right midfield; centre midfield; right midfield; left winger; right winger; striker and is also a very good substitute on the bench"
...now I get it...
You can't count that as a beard!Grabban.
According to the Gosling thread Gozzer wants to stay.Does it pave the way now for Gosling to leave for Nottingham Forest?
Wow. Glowing references. Another sign of our failed failed transfer policy ?from PNE fans:
Ben Pearson. Best midfielder, arguably player, I’ve seen at North End for some time. Incredible passer, tremendous workrate, so good defensively but above all else, a massive shithouse. Bournemouth, please, please, look after him for us. #AFCB
@PNEFansForum
Just so you #AFCB fans know, its baffling to us North End fans that most of you don't know who Pearson is... Easily the best CDM in the league. You have got yourself a diamond. Gutted, a huge loss for us. Wish him well. Always gave 100. Propper old school player. #pnefc
I think he should have two.
Love it.

I especially enjoy the way it gets under the skin of these complete also-ran clubs when AFCB sign a player from them.
The vast majority of us know who we are, know where we come from and know where, in all likelihood, we'll end up eventually. We'll still be here though. Supporting a L1 also-ran club.
Meanwhile they can continue to live their delusions of grandeur. Winning stuff before WWII doesn't mean you get to act all Charlie Big Potatoes not far off a century later without looking ridiculous.
Think it may become one again.
