Regardless of any animosity towards other clubs, Bournemoth and Southampton to stay up to heighten our chances of keeping Pearson and Smallbone. West Ham to come down because The Olympic Stadium, and well, its West Ham. Then two others, ain't fussed. Would Bournemouth still need Pearson if they came down? They’d still have Lerma and Billing, who they obviously prefer if they were prepared to loan Pearson to us. |

My only reasoning is that they not wish to strength a Championship competitor with a player of their own. |

Not hard to see a situation where Billing goes to the latest relegation candidate on the block like a Burnley or Leeds, like a latter-day Nigel Quashie. |

A club that goes down is likely to offload their better players whether they want to or not and keep the cheaper players equipped for the Championship. I think it's far more likely Bournemouth will let Pearson go if they survive but either way to a large extent its down to the player. |

On the one hand, Billing has only one year left on his deal so if they don’t agree an extension I expect they’ll sell. But Billing also spent two consecutive seasons in the Championship after two successive seasons in the Premier League, so it’s not a foregone conclusion he’d go, especially if no other club want to better his wages. He’s also a different type of player to Pearson, who mans station in holding midfield whereas Billing likes to get forward and find space. |

That's true but I could still see Bournemouth feeling like Pearson, as an established Championship player, might be an asset they'd want to make use of. |

Pearson wants to move back up north so I think he will leave Bournemouth whatever
