He does have some form on this. For example, flatly denying an interest in Chris Wood a few days before signing him. However, I take his response this time as a player we've looked at, maybe even enquired about, but have decided not to take it forward. It is far more likely that the minor interest shown by us is fueling his agent/club to try to get other interested parties to up their offers or make offers.
Or Johnny Foreigners like me.
Bloody foreigners, coming over here, taking our clubs.
Haven't been in Denmark for years!Bloody Norwegians, coming over here, taking our pubs and clubs
He's so cheeky.Another example; Pearson cheekily asking Stringer to tell him who Mahrez was as he 'hadn't heard of him'
These early games against big teams could be a blessing in disguise, a battering or two and pearson will soon be in the defensive market.
:icon_roll
Indeed
and goes on and goes on and goes on.....Wait 'til the season starts.....
He's so cheeky.
Indeed. Days when the forum wasn't dominated by miserable feckers like me.
Trust me - there were always miserable feckers around!
Anyway on a note of pre-season possitivity - Pearson is rightly following up his fantastic achievements of last season (well beyond anything I thought possible) by giving the guys who did the business a fair crack of the whip.
If you aren't one of the elite clubs who can buy and attract the signatures of the top notchers than you might as well base your strategy largely on 'being a team' and work ethic rather than pay over the odds for players no better or not much better than those you already have.
Will it work? Possibly not but prabably worth a shot.

I've missed the Hammond to Reading rumours until now, but apparently this might be happening.
This seems like a well disguised blessing. Losing games is not a very effective way of avoiding relegation. .
Are you on about one of those weird transsexual cows?I don't trust anyone who can't suck a cow off and remain in good health.
