oh my god

i think it’s funny that when a big shot player is joining a new club, and he doesn’t deliver right away, he often get support from his manager and supporters with messages like “he needs more time to adapt” or “he needs to adjust to the way of playing”. the player then gets his chance to improve in many games. but when a unknown player like mgp joins a new club, he has to deliver right away, or else he’s crap. i mean, how many games has mgp played, three?

he has signed

Tromsø and Blackburn Rovers are continuing the process for Morten Gamst Pedersen possible transfer to the Premier League club. There have been contact between the clubs today – but so far they haven’t come to an agreement. The discussions are on a positive and constructive level, where it seems there is a willingness from both sides to find a solution which both sides can live with. Daily leader in Tromsø, Bjørn Tore Markussen has this to say: -There isn’t much new to report really. We have received a response on the draft we sent over yesterday, and we mean there is foundation for a meeting for the final negotiations. There are still some disagreements, but they are not bigger than we can handle them if there is willingness from both sides. We want to, and we will try our best. Markussen is for the moment at a trip with the rest of the team at Svalbard blab la blab la. This means that the final negotiations probably won’t happen before the end of the week. Markussen isn’t concerned that the final decision seems to delay: -This is a important, complicated and strategic process both for Morten and for the club. Therefore we must use the time that we need to reach the best possible result. Link sorry for the bad translation, i'm drunk.

A new article where they interview Morten Gamst Pedersen and Martin Andresen. Let's hope that Martin Andresen and Stig Inge Bjørnebye manages to persuade Pedersen to come to us. If Blackburn buys Morten Gamst Pedersen, he goes straight into the first team Martin Andresen says. Blackburns press office confirms to Nordlys that a formal bid for Morten Gamst Pedersen is close. I really don’t know much, but if a bid comes along it’s interesting of course, and I have to take a stand, Gamst Pedersen says. Martin Andresen returned after a loan to the English club, and he has fait in Gamst Pedersen. If they buy Morten, the left flank position is his, Andresen says to TV2 Nettavisen. Blackburn has used Jonathan Douglas in that position, but he isn’t really a left flank player. They don’t have a real left flank player. Morten is going to have a lot of chances, he adds. The truth is that Blackburn hasn’t had a real left winger since Damien Duff went to Chelsea. In the Wednesday edition of VG Andresen says that Tippeligaen is underestimated compared to foreign leagues. The difference between Tippeligaen and Premier League isn’t that big. They play a different style of football, with a higher pace, but sometimes it goes to fast. This must not be seen as a warning to Morten Gamst Pedersen. The difference is not that big and Premier League is fun. You get to play big games against teams like Manchester United and Arsenal. Nettavisen: How is it to have Graeme Souneass as a manager? Are you fair to him, he’s fair back to you. I haven’t spoken with Martin Andresen about Blackburn, but should something arise, I’m definitely going to take it, Gamst Pedersen says. Link

Concrete Blackburn-bid for Gamst'n this week Blackburn will probably make a concrete bid of 1, 5 mill for Morten Gamst Pedersen. This may happen before the match against Wales. Manager Graeme Souness is at the moment on vacation, and is therefore not available for a comment. But Chris Gorman at Blackburn press office confirms that Blackburn is keen on the player from Tromsø. We haven’t made a formal offer yet, but it will probably happen soon Gorman says to Nordlys. He says that Blackburn still have money to spend after Jack Walker, the man who injected millions into the club. He says Souness have enough money to buy 3-4 new players this summer, if we got to sell a couple. Nordlys: How much money are we talking about? Gorman: Up to 10 million. Gorman doesn’t want to speculate on how much the club is willing to pay for Morten Gamst Pedersen. That is not my table he says. Reporter Andy Neild from the local newspaper Lancashire Evening Telegraph believes that there will be a 1, 5 mill bid. The way I see it, Blackburn have already suggested an offer on that size for Tromsø. It probably happened when Tromsøs secretary had a meeting with the chairman says Nield He thinks that Blackburn will send an offer on paper to Tromsø during this week. I don’t believe that Blackburn is willing to wait to 1. November, as I have understood is the wish at Tromsø. Souness wants new players this summer, so they can be ready when the season starts. PS! Tromsos chairman Trygve Myrvang had not received at bid for Gamst Pedersen yesterday. Link

I mean, I can pick out some words - Men, journalist, Andy, Neild & bud - but can fit them into a sentence with the rest of it (except "Men say Andy Neild is a budding journalist" - that can't be right!). Is it essentially saying that this info has been taken from the L.E.T. ? according to journalist andy neild from lancashire evening telegraph there will be a bid of 1,5 mill.

according to nettavisen, blackburn will make a concrete bid of 1,5 mill £ this week. The tromsø newspaper nordlys says that the bid may come before the game between Norway and wales on Thursday. but tromsø coach otto ulseth says there is no new news about a transfer for gamst pedersen, and that he has heard nothing from blackburn. link
