Marcus Pedersen

[Clifford]

According to this article us and 20 other clubs have been to see a 19 year old Norwegian striker.

Billy is talking about the right character in the dressing room... Marcus Pedersen is not.

I think Marcus Pedersen would be a class act singning which would fit perfectly in the very physical championship.

He is probably the most talented striker in Norway these days. Kind of a Wayne Rooney-type of player. Very powerful striker. I would love to see him at Forest however I think bigger clubs/leagues will be in for him so I can`t see it happening though.

well if hes anywhere near as good as rune pederson he must be good ¬_¬

Someone just posted this on my forum:

"Good player that Marcus, quick shot. Biggest weakness is his head. Good arrested a few years back after beating up people for fun at a nightclub in Hamar. Looks to have grown up a bit after signing for Stromsgodset."

Sounds errr. promising......

Do we have scouts based abroad these days or just send them to watch the odd player?

I think we use agents based in various countries to do a lot of groundwork, we then get sent DVD's etc. If we like what we see then the scouts will go over.

Thanks, I recall Billy saying something about the club needing scouts on the continent in the future or something along those lines. Maybe it was about what premier league clubs have in terms of networks cant remember.

dont think we will be in for this lad though, not unless he is cheap.
We will be after more experienced targets

 

[onlythetruth]

We send scouts to watch

We have strong links in certain countries with agents - Portugal being one hence the training camps we have there

(Sooner or later you have to think we will sign a Portugese player due to our connections over there - I know we have watched players there away from pre-season as well)

it was scotland billy wanted the scouting networks set up

oh ffs...
He's no better than Garner, and he can't get into the starting 11.... no point in signing that guy.
