11:40am Thursday 11th March 2010


EACH Thursday, only in your Lancashire Telegraph newspaper, our panel of six Blackburn Rovers fans give their verdict on a big talking point of the week.

You'll still need to buy the paper to see what our fans' panel thinks, but now you can join the debate as we pose the question to our online readers too.

This week's topic is:

How important is it that Morten Gamst Pedersen signs a new deal at Blackburn Rovers?

Add your comments below. If the online feature proves popular we will look at incorporating your views into the newspaper too.

There are plenty of players around who are as good as Pedersen,some young enough to become even better.Pedersen is average and is not going to get better,I think he'll sign because he'll not have to many better offers,the fact he will cost nothing might improve his wages but I wouldn't break the bank to keep him.

“How important is it that Morten Gamst Pedersen signs a new deal at Blackburn Rovers“?
There just over paid ball players with YOUR money!
Just ask yourself: Do any of them deserve so much of your hard earned money to play a game? Does anyone really 'think' that if they were paid at least half of what they get now, would they still be there.
Just what else could they be doing?

The problem not mentioned in the article above is that players don't come fee free. Agents latest Greed trick is to demand a big wage increase by rolling some of the fee not required into the new contract. So its basically an auction come the summer.
.
So would you accept Pedersen going from say 30 or 40K a week to 50 or 60k a week simply because we don't have to pay a fee? It costs the same in the long run.
.
The board generally do OK in the transfer market but not contacting Newcastle last summer to swap him for Duff was a big mistake - and lets be honest he can't lace Duffer's boots so he ain't that good - just an OK average Prem player.

He's not worth 40k a year, let alone 40k a week but, then again none of them are. They're just mercenaries with no loyalty. They don't get any of my "hard-earned" money, eddie the eagle
