Liverpool to bid for Blackburn winger Pedersen

[Joe Le Toff]

Good player but people are going over the top about him based on some admittedly sumptuous left foot strikes.

He's not consistent enough, not what you'd call a line-hugging winger and not what we need, IMO.

Spot on analysis, if we're looking for quality for the left side then surely Ribery is the level of player we should be looking at?
Settling for second best again?

or that lad Quaresma from FC Porto, he can play on either wings or as striker.

I guess that Rafa will give Kewell another year and we already have Leto as backup. He will probably sign someone like Mata instead.

[Resu]

In Norway Leonhardsen was know the worlds best player, without the ball.
He was abselutely world class timing his runs into the box, but couldn`t take down a ball to save his life.

[Red_Al_77]

Peds is a good PL player but never a world beater. We have to buy two or three at most First XI players that are beyond reproach in terms of ability and reputation. We have to think big...no more squad buying. It's going to cost big monies but hopefully Rafa will have that. I however remain to be convinced Rafa will spend more that £30million this summer on all his transfers.

Finally some sense

Can't understand all the fuss about this player, just a Norwegian "Beckham-wannabe"

He's not good enough. He wouldn't get into the united or chelsea team, both of whom will finish above us this season. He's had a good season with a mediocre club just like pennant, bellamy and crouch in the past Hope its paper talk. At best he's a squad player and we don't need any more of those.

Anyone have any idea what our transfer budget will be in the summer?

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is preparing a major bid for Blackburn Rovers winger Morten Gamst Pedersen.
The left-side of midfield remains a problem area for Benitez with Mark Gonzalez struggling to make the position his own in the absence of injury-plagued Australian Harry Kewell.

The People says Benitez is convinced Pedersen is the solution and armed with the cash from new Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett is ready to test Rovers' resolve in the summer.


Just the lad we need, quality footballer.
Deecent pace, most of all fantastic delivery fromt he wing, great on set pieces, decent in the air, quick feet, good work ethic
and all in all the ideal left winger for us imo.
This lad's the business.

Not good enough, I think.
He is a bit like the signings we usually make, almost a great player.

Plusses:
Great left foot.
Good free kicks and corners.
Also two footed.
Good shot on him.
Good basic technique.

Minuses:
Not pacy at all.
A bit weak.
Not a good dribbler.

So, in short, not what we need.

He is a bit like Gonzalez actually, but without the pace and with just slightly better crossing.
I'd rather we gave Gonzalez a decent chance than spent 10 mill to get a player who is not much better imo. The difference being that Pedersen has been given a run in the team.

Actually, I think Slur Alex is a keen admirer.

[Slim]

I do think he is a good player but as someone pointed out earlier in the thread he is a Beckham type - great set piece delivery and shooting ability but not the type of left sided player we really need. I'd rather we signed a pacy winger who can dribble and beat a man.

[Abro100]

Good but not in the class bracket we need again he doesnt run with the ball and take on a man as good as we need.

[carheex]

Good signing if we can get him

I suspect it'll be one hell of a fight to get him though.

***With the rumours that Blackburn want Bellamy back, would anyone engage in a swap? MGP for Bellamy?


*** Welsh boys are excluded from this question

yes please, anything to get rid of bellamy!!! maybe if they don't let pederson go we could swap bellamy for Benni Macarthy?

[simey85]

i do rate him and think he would be a good player for us but i can understand what people are saying about him not being world class, but there are not many world class wingers out there i don't think ribery is any use at all, imo people are rating him on the back of a world cup where he only played well against spain the rest of the games he looked ordinary and low on confidence. queresma looks skillful and pacy but would he be able for the phisicality of the league?

[captainfog]

WTF

I can't believe this is a serious discussion..........

We need one or two WORLD CLASS signings to take us to the next level. If you can't see that they you are bind, insane or both.

If you think Peds is a world class player then again you are eithr blind, insane or both.

I don't think he is a bad player but christ on a bike, he is not the missing link

[Jayesh87]

He would be great signing imo.

Can see him signing for the mancs though to replace giggs
