RUMOUR - Morten Gamst Pedersen

by tomrfcurz » 08 May 2012 17:48

Has supposedly already requested a move away from Blackburn and was linked with a move to Norwich i believe in the January window.

Reading are apparently interested with Blackburn's asking price fairly low to get rid. He wants away, currently stands at one of their higher earners (although so was Roberts) so understandable why a struggling team who now face Championship football need to be shot of him.

Our interest is strong and we have already made enquiries. This i'm sure of. Whether they go anywhere i'm not but i'm confident we have already made enquiries and that he is high up on the wanted list. McDermott has highlighted he needs players who can deliver from set plays, both assisting and scoring goals with a left back to replace Harte a priority too

I don't think we're interested, not with McCleary sounding like he's coming in. If he wasn't then sure, but if we bring in two wingers that means Antonio and another is probably on their way out.

McAnuff
Kebe
Robson-Kanu
McCleary*
Pedersen*
Obita

Can't keep all of them happy.

I'd like this, but will put it under unlikely until we sign/lose McCleary.

McCleary will be coming in as a striker though - his preferred position

He's an out and out winger that found his scoring boots this season. He wont be coming here as a striker. He may act as cover, but we are pursuing a striker as well.

Well according to an ex Forest player I know, he's a striker converted to the wing - similar to himself

Yep but I'm not one for repeating information given to me in confidence. If the signing goes through I'll happily post what info I know.

Gamst Pederson was shocking against Wigan the other night.

Hate to think what the East Stand Massive would have made of him if it had been a performance in a Reading shirt.

Would have wanted to sign him 4 or 5 years ago but not now.

Was linked to some big clubs about 5 years ago, but didn't seem to kick on. Still a good Premiership player. Just doesn't seem like a Reading FC signing to me.

As I said on the other thread, a change of scenery and a kick up the arse would do him the world of good, would still be a quality signing.

Too lazy
comfort zone
lost his pace
motivation issues

Think I've summed it up.

He has been absolute class but has really looked off the pace this season. Probably worth having in the squad for a low fee and for set plays in case Harte gets dropped.

I'm in favour, but we would need to be an option, not , at his age, a marquee player.

Are Reading really that desperate to sign players from relegated clubs? The aim should be much higher. How about Andy Johnson from Fulham?
