[Archived] Morten Gamst Pedersen- Time To Get Rid

[Hughesy]

Surely no one can blamed him for that can they?

Lucash said he was leaving to win things....

West Ham & Scousers came in.....he choose West Ham

Nothing to do with what he said....ALL FOR CASH!!

MGP should be shipped out in January - even if its just on loan, that way saving us his MASSIVE wages!

[T4E]

"I just want to play football."

Maybe some day soon he will actually try doing exactly that.

Last night was one of the weakest, softest, most half hearted performances I've ever seen from a Rovers player. He was absolutely dreadful. He offers NOTHING - he's slow, he can't cross, can't tackle, can't beat a man, can't shoot, can't head, and insists on letting the ball roll out for a throw in at every damn opportunity.

He's absolute rubbish. Completely spent as a professional footballer at this level. Infact probably at any level. Truly embarassing. I sincerely hope I never see him wearing blue and white again. Infact I sincerely hope I never see him play football for anyone ever again. Hang on, what am I saying, I take that back.

I hope he signs for Celtic.

Gamst has not had a good game at Rovers for around 3 years now. Time to get rid, i just wish we had sold him a couple of years ago when Tottenham were sniffing round him.

Him picking his wages up is absolute daylight robbery.

He's just so powder puff. He wouldn't say boo to a goose.

He'd be better off in an a-ha tribute band.

Take on me? He couldnt even take on my Granny.

Agree with most of that, apart from the one about not being a good header. He's one of the best headers of the ball in the club.

[T4E]

Certainly agree that he used to be Den, but he also used to be one of the best strikers of a ball. These days he mis-kicks everything and his headers are weaker than the man himself.

[MarkBRFC71]

Couldn't agree more.

I don't get why most people on here are on a Pedersen bashing mission.

He's been a good servant for the club and has always seemed to show his appreciation to the fans at the end of every game he plays.

To me this is important. If a player at the end of a home game comes over to the blackburn end to show their appreciation to the fans; in my eyes this shows he likes playing for Rovers and actually respects the fans who in affect pay their salary.

Nelsen, Robinson, Dunn, Pedersen and Di santo seem to be the only players who after every game come over and clap the fans.

It always annoys me that Roberts just walks off and doesn't give the fans a second look.

But yeh, that's why the Pedersen bashing doesn't make sense to me.

Also, thinkin about respect to the fans. Before every game when the players are takin shots at Jason Brown, only Pedersen, Di Santo and McCarthy seem to be the only players who wait and see if the fan they just hit with a wayward shot is actually alright. All the others just seem not to care. I suppose you could claim its down to being "focused" but lets face it, a wave or a thumbs up just to say sorry is hardly goin to brake anyones concentration.

Rant over

I would rather see a player with some skill, effort and passion on the pitch during the game, and have them run past the Blackburn End giving us the V's at the end than someone like MGP who during the game flounces about, puts in little effort, lacks passion and enthusiasm, wimps out of tackles and with a pass completion rate of about 25% but who claps the fans at the end.

In fact after some of his "performances" recently I'm not sure how he's got the bloody nerve to clap the fans - we've probably contributed more than he has!

As I said no one can blame him for that. Don't come over all uppity in a froth of false morality Hughesy. 90% would do the same.

Wrong. 99.9% would.

[Claytons Left Boot]

I hope he signs for Celtic.

Whilst I desperately want him to leave Rovers, I'll despair if Celtic come in for him. I'll personally drive/walk/crawl to Parkhead to jeopardise any deal, taking with me a suitcase full of dvds showing his complete and utter shiteness, together with a laminated copy of this thread as backup.

You're a bluenose - Rangers can have him! ......and you can pay......'owt over a tenner and he's yours.

Pedersen.

[sam_rovers]

I always used to point out that pedersen ran back and covered and helped the defense out.. but yesterday he didn't even do that.. he's so terrible it's unbelievable. Stephen carr, for ###### sake, ran circles around him.. what a clown

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Agree with most of that, apart from the one about not being a good header. He's one of the best headers of the ball in the club.

That's a myth, how many headed goals has he scored ?

I remember ONE header. And Cech saved it at Old Trafford.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Don't remember Cech saving it, I thought he headed it wide.

[sambo]

I remember ONE header. And Cech saved it at Old Trafford.

I remember one vs Fulham(I think) in a relatively meaningless end of season encounter in 2008.. he had fouled the defender before he headed it too.

Sure that is all I remember though... oh and one away at Man City in a 3-0 win.

[mellison24]

Don't remember Cech saving it, I thought he headed it wide.

ah yes.

[joey_big_nose]

IMO he was better than four or five players last night- Andrews, Roberts, Diouf, Roberts, Givet. He made the goal and held onto the ball decently and, apart from Hoilett, arguably our best player in midfield - depressing as it is.

However he is clearly not offering enough and needs to be sold like Andrews and Diouf. The good news is that Sam seems to have been trying to replace him for sometime with the various left sided players we have been linked to.

I hope Celtic really are interested. That would be teriffic. Could we get the to pay 1m? He could probably do quite well up there in a weaker league.

[mellison24]

Heard Treacy is back from Sheff Utd. Worth a go, anyone? (I don't think so myself, but who knows?)

[broadsword]

Treacy is no improvement in my view.

From what I remember just runs up blind alleys and flatters to deceive.

Improvement on Pedersen. He runs. Anyone think Pedersen may benefit by playing in the middle?

[DE.]

Treacy is NOT an improvement on MGP. Anyone who thinks so has not seen him play for Sheff Utd this season.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Gamst works hard defensively and can give decent supply to the front men. So long as he is not the only creative outlet in the midfield then i dont have any issue with him playing ahead of Diouf or Treacy. Treacy looked championship standard whenever he played for us. Pedersen is sadly not as effective as he once was, but he's still above championship level.

A midfield consisting of Hoilett, Dunn, Emerton and Pedersen would work well i reckon. A decent blend of pace, creativity and defensive cover.
