Not so sure about this one, very much dependant on price. Ok so he had what Leeds are classing as a good season, playing next to the likes of Roque Junior (sp) though it's hardly a surprise. He was one of the best from an awful bunch. Under 1m I'd say yep pretty good signing, any more and I'd be a bit narked. Think we'll blow the remainding funds on MGP too if this comes off..... Matteo/Dickov/Pedersen Not a bad set of signings if they all come off. Add to that Fergie and Thommo who'll be like new signings too, can't wait for the new season to get underway

Could the same not be said for Jonny Douglas, Steven Reid and even Jemal Johnson. Sometimes it's better the devil you know... On the subject of Pedersen, this proposed deal gets more alarming as time goes by. His club holding out for more money and no-one actually witnessing him having a good game. Then there's the supposed interest from Villa and Man U that has suddenly disappeared. From the original cries of 'sign him' and 'just buy him' bets are being hedged and the talk is now, 'give him time, he'll take time to adjust to the PL'. Keep the powder dry Souey, he's patently not good enough. There is the small fact that Douglas and Reid aren't left wingers though? I don't understand how writing a few lines in the LET gives you this in depth knowledge on Pedersen an the fact he'll be a flop?! Your arguement regarding united and villa is pretty lightweight too. Think about it logically. United - They've got Giggs to play there and he's still one of the best left wingers in the prem. Alan Smith can also do a good job there. I'm guessing they also have a few decent youth team lads who could do a job too. Even the likes of United have a transfer budget and they clearly have bigger priorities than a left winger. Left face it they could afford to let him play for us for a season and snatch him off us if he does well - sad but true...... Villa - I suspect their interest was mainly due to the Gareth Barry contract situation, however the fact that that seems to have been cleared up means they don't need Pedersen right now either. Then there's the fact they have Whittingham to play there too. Villa have made it quite clear they're working with a tight budget..... Very good. Firstly, I have no in depth knowledge but I go off the fact that Norwegian attacking players very rarely are anything more than functional. If you can name one other than Solskjaer who isn't then I'll doff my cap in your direction. Your argument about United and the left wing situation is flawed too. With Keane, Scholes and Butt to play central midfield (arguably the best trio in the prem) why did they then go out and buy Kleberson and Djemba Djemba for big bucks? I understand that left wing is probably not a huge concern but then again I wouldn't have central midfield as being so for them either. I'll be leaving the fray on this particular topic and I'll refrain from posting I told you so if and when he fails to deliver because it would appear he will be signing. Conversely if he surprises me and turns out to be the new wing sensation of the prem I will gladly admit I was wrong...and quite possibly show my backside in the Ewood club too. Carews a decent striker is he not? Keane (by his own admission cannot play a full season in the premiership anymore and has accepted he won't. Kleberson was highly rated and has been a big let down to be fair. Djemba Djemba I'm not entirely sure about but didn't it bag an agent a nice little fee? Make of that what you will. Butt is surplus to requirements..... Fair enough, I just can't see how you can write a player off because he's norweigan and you haven't seen him play!

With the expert guidance of Dean Saunders, Pedersen can easily become BETTER than Duff

I can't believe you got beat off a team with Craig Fisher playing for them? (He's the big gangly bugger stood next to the keeper on the team pic)

EXACTLY! You'd think we'd paid a few million for him the way some people are bleating! Doubt theres many 100K strikers who scored more than 13 in the prem last year

What's all this twaddle about 'inspiring the fans'? This is Blackburn Rovers! I doubt even Zidane would fill our ground! Signing Andy Cole (a Massive signing at the time) hardly added thousands to the gates did it?

If Dickov's as bad as some people are making out it doesn't say much for our current strikers, on the basis he scored more than them all last season (Stead apart). If he comes in, scores say 10 goals from sub appearances and filling in for injuries then it's a damn fine bit of business, no 2 ways about it. I'll be leading the standing ovation come the first day of the season and anyone round me not partaking will receive a swift clip round the ear

If it was up to you we'd field the bloody youth team next season. Your clueless ramblings are fast becoming tiresome. Fair enough not everyone will agree with the Dickov signing but you're just being petty and slating everything Souness does.

In-house movie eh?

Yep that's the wonderful world of the Blackburn Rovers 'supporter' for you..... The same people who were probably masturbating into a sock when we signed Emerton, that now slate him at every opportunity.

We just can't afford to let him slip through our fingers here. We NEED him! United and Villa don't as they have decent left siders

And what would be the point of starting selling them earlier?!? Don't you think the distinct smell of relegation would have put any casual fans off being tempted?! The loyal fans will obviously buy one regardless. If you put them on sale early you get an head start. And have more time to sell them , which gives people more time to think about wether they want one or not. Look at burnley they have already sold 8,000 s/t. A 'head start'?!? Burnley did it purely for financial purposes, nothing to do with selling more tickets. They're so desperate that they pay people to go knocking door to door in Burnley asking people to buy them (seriously!). You either want a season ticket or you don't, a few weeks wouldn't have ,ade any difference. It's clever marketing and value for money that will sell Rovers season tickets, simple as.

Hope the Chaplow bit is a joke? Doubt you've seen him play much but trust me he's not a premiership player by a long shot.

I wouldn't lose sleep if he left, but I think I'm happy to give him a fair crack of the whip next season. Who knows where we might have finished if Cole & Stead had been up front all season and Amo had been at the back? Surely it's not a coincidence that results have improved with the Italian in the team is it?

There were definitely beach balls in there last Friday as one of my loopy mates bought some for Everton. There's a basket at the front and it's also got lilo's and armbands in

Not sure if anyones interested anymore but you can hear the audio clip of Rons comments here: LINK At least he has the deceny to congratulate Monaco at the end

I don't think that's the case at all. The players were still in the dressing room for quite some time after yesterdays game.

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/stats.mc?stat=bestfave Us Rovers fans clearly know our footy eh?

Your not bothered about being beaten by Rangers? I thought the old firm was supposedly the biggest derby in the world? I'd be gutted for months if we lost to Burnley.

Or even worse Celtic, heaven forbid. Up the 'Gers

You beat us, we were @#/?, off you pop.

Went at 6.30am and was sat in McD's for 11.00, worth every minute of the wait! I thought you'd been camping out Rev when I saw where you were in the queue We bought 10 on the same row, the person in the next window asked for 6 together a few mins later and was told they'd only get them if they sat in restricted view seats si I think we were pretty lucky.
