tribalfootball.com - Arsenal must include players in bid for Blackburn's Pedersen (http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=51784)
Arsenal have made a shock £7 million offer for Blackburn Rovers winger Morten Gamst Pedersen.
The People says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been searching for a left-winger all summer and was linked with Florent Malouda, before he joined Chelsea, and Marseille's France star Franck Ribery.
But now he has set his sights on Rovers' Norwegian flyer, 25, and he's ready to pull out all the stops to get his man.
Blackburn boss Mark Hughes, however, is a huge fan of Pedersen and has rejected the bid.
And he has told Wenger he will only think about doing business if the Frenchman ups his offer or makes it a players-plus-cash deal.
Hughes sees Gunners striker Nicklas Bendtner and midfielder Mathieu Flamini as potential deal-makers but would still demand a cash sum on top of that pair.
What do you guys think of this?
Personally, I would love to see Gamst Pedersen at Arsenal. Free kick specialist and would be a great addition to the team. If it takes 7 million + Flamini then I say do it. I would not want to loose Bendtner, however. I really liked his performance vs Fullham and there is too much potential there to loose him.
I would say 7 mill + Flamini would be a great deal for us. Costly, but Pedersen will score goals and create chances. I say it's worth it.
