UTD EYE £8M PEDERSEN
-
MANCHESTER UNITED are ready to snatch Morten Gamst Pedersen away from Blackburn by triggering an £8million release clause in the Norwegian's Ewood Park contract. Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to land the versatile Pedersen, who has made a big impact in his three years at Ewood Park. And with Fergie already planning for life when Ryan Giggs, 33, calls time on his Old Trafford career, the Scot is ready to make his move for the 25-year-old Pedersen this summer.
Blackburn fended off interest by Spurs last summer by doubling Pedersen's £10,000-per-week wages and handing him a new four-year deal. But part of the new contract was the release clause that allows Pedersen the right to move to any club that puts in an £8m bid for his services.
United have been alerted to the existence of the clause. which is similar to the one that allowed Liverpool to land Craig Bellamy for £6m. It was a protective gesture by Rovers, who were determined to ensure they did not lose him for a minimal fee.
Yet it is a licence for a predator to come in and effectively force a sale, with United being able to offer Pedersen a huge signing-on fee and massively improved wages. -
not bad
-
He's good in all areas other than his relatively weak physical presence and his pace.
He'll be a good signing if he really comes to United for 8 million pounds. Get Bentley too.
Cheers.

why get bentley? he didnt do that well in arsenal
-
Was he ever given a chance at Arsenal? No? All i can remember of him at Arsenal is one minute scoring spectacular FA Cup goals and being loan out in the very next minute to Norwich.Originally posted by pierre^^:why get bentley? he didnt do that well in arsenal
He is doing very well over at Blackburn and remember, he is the only guy in recent years to have scored a hat-trick against United and he did that when he's at Blackburn.
Oh, and he's also England Under 21 Right Winger.
Cheers.

I kind of agree, Bentley was never given a chance at Arsenal. He's actually doing better now that he left Arsenal. Only way to progress was out.Originally posted by CKeer:Was he ever given a chance at Arsenal? No?

during the Rovers vs Chelski game.. He is quite a good deadball specialist.. Kan

if i had to choose between him and hargreaves, i would gladly choose pederson.
he will fit well into any club. but really manu got no more target man for a fantastic crossers like him -
