Morten Gamst Pedersen is gone....#Rovers

[Myles Anderson]

As venky's know only too well, if you pay peanuts you get doughnuts.

This may be a little on-topic so i apoligize in advance, I don't think R.Keane's the answer,

i think we have enough backup strikers already.

Cisse would be great.

Has there been any news on Reo-Coker he would be a very useful signing.

They are uk based players how many clubs have actually signed a player from abroad. The foreign peanuts are not for sale until 1st July

Would be disappointed to see a very likeable guy like Morten leave, I understand that he has been poor but he is a very good guy to have around. You can never have too many people with a personality like MGP.

9 MILLION POUNDS

I just wanted to be sure people are aware of what clubs like Sunderland, who to my knowledge have never achieved a single thing in their entire history, are spending on no-name players.

Why is it with our history and our achievements....you know, nevermind. Forget all this.

Yes

Benjani

Roberts

Kalanic

Rochina

[pick32]

I think that MGP is an excellent player to have in a squad he is still a good player and try's his best whatever position he plays in. I Hold him in the same vein as Emerton both good players for the club over the years and could still perform at the top level for a couple of years.

[Tom]

Whilst I like Pedersen and would like him to stay around if he is being replaced by a younger and better player then it will be best for everyone if he leaves.

Not entirely sure, but in all probability Myles Anderson is a bag of @#/? if that helps.

Why?

I thought we had enough money to choke a peanut, I mean horse.

Getting rid of more players at this juncture is folly. Who would be left in midfield, Grella, Andrews, Bert and Zonzi?

Oh and that new boy.

[USRoverME]

having just seen him rip the doors off the USA linking up with Chicharito... if Dos Santos is surplus to requirements at Spurs, he's be worth a shout. That final goal he scored was a masterclass, especially when you realize it's Everton's Timmy Howard that he makes look like a fool.

oh and pay no attention to Jones running past dos santos and then ineffectively sticking a leg out to not stop the shot...

If this is true then someone HAS to come in soon. The MGP sale looking like a good one would be dependant on fee received, how long has he got left on his contract?

Yes

Benjani

Roberts

Kalanic

Rochina

Hoillett (still one year on contract even if doesn't sign another).

Since when is Twitter a reliable source? That's like using Wikipedia in a bibliography

Clearly they're footballers,although overall pretty average ones, so I'm unsure what the point of this prolonged peanut analogy is.

[chaddyrovers]

any news Nicko?

[McRovers]

I'd be really sad to see MGP go, hes a great squad player and has been an exemplary servant to our club for the greater half of a decade, hes part of the Ewood Park furniture along with nelson, emerton and dunn. I think particularly when we still have andrews and grella on the books it'd be criminal to sell our morten down the river. And how one can argue that benjani or roberts ought to stay because they still 'do a job' when MGP scored 1 less goal than roberts and a goal more than benjani last season from midfield, i'll never know.

sorry but i think thats just pee poor defending, dont rate him much myself, hes been out on loan a few times and never really impressed(all whizz, no bang!).

[chaddyrovers]

I would keep Peds at rovers. very good squad player and I would play him more.

is Tugay the manager Galatasary?

I can see why Tugay wants him! Been a very good player for us!

[beerwins]

I dont understand why anybody would buy Pederson, he was on a free last season and has'nt exactly shone this year, wages are'nt small either.

[AmazinTim]

Peds has been a good servant, didn't leave on free when he could have. I like him better in the middle of the field sometimes, definitely a good squad player but if we want to free up cahs or get the wage bill down, it'd be alright seeing him go.

Also, to other posters saying "why dont we just slap a bid down" - to that I say, just because we have money doesn't mean we can recklessly spend. Can't throw caution to the wind just because he wave a decent kitty.
