Del Pede

Reading in the danish football community, people are not very confident, he'll make an impression in the PL. He have also previously had issues with injuries, but he seems to have cleaned up his diet and training, so that's not a frequent issue anymore. For him to be a benefit to a team, it requires them to be in control, and have possession, which is why he's getting a lot of tapins, as he is good at positioning. Also being reported that the price Feyenoord is looking for, is nearer 17.5 million pound.

I think you're right to be negative. From what I've seen from him, he is not likely to offer anything, that Mitrovic can't offer. I rate Mitrovic higher, and the price tag is ridiculous.

20M Euroes for Nicolai Jørgensen seems a bit much. He was heads above most players, when he played for FC Copenhagen in the Danish premiership. He's done well at Feyenoord, but it's stretch to expect him to do a job in the Premier League as well. He's tall, have a bit of physique about him, and a decent header. He's got some pace, and have played as a winger, but not recently. He's done reasonably well in the national side, but haven't exactly been brilliant either. Of course Eriksen keeps stealing all focus there. Given Newcastles situation with strikers, he might be a good option. But I can't think, that 20 million euroes is a pisstake. I wouldn't value him at that at all.

The story of Bendtner to Newcastle seems to have officially died today. Apparently Pardew would like to bring Bendtner to Crystal Palace.

Well he is in a bit of a delicate situation. The only games he'd really had the last three years are nationals. Denmark have finally gotten a new national coach, and he might not longer be a guaranted starter, if he doesn't get regular games. I think the dozy twat is finally seeing the writing on the wall, and he has shown attitude improvements during his time in Wolfsburg. Not saying I'd want to see him at Newcastle, since it would be a massive gamble. But I don't think he's as picky about choice of club, as he have been.

Danish Christmas food don't fuck about.

The story have been in papers in Denmark today. They seem to cite this article from Bild http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/vfl-wolfsburg/haut-bendtner-nach-newcastle-ab-44106640.bild.html

I wouldn't put it past him, loosing interest if things are going wrong between him and the board. And he fell out with the board at nearly every other club he've been at. He certainly is gifted, but he's a liability.

Not sure how much there is in that, but from his time at Brøndby and Getafe, at least, he was very enganged in the traning. From what I can understand, he got fired from Swansea, since he weren't willing to commit to the club. That spurred on a lot of shit talk from the club and Laudrups batshit crazy agent. There was a lot of back and forth for a periode there, and Laudrup held a bizarre press conference after his dismissal. But he is moody and strongheaded, and I can only see trouble, if he was ever to set foot in Newcastle. I'm questioning his ambition also. He seems to be very content, and only looking for a payday at this point.

Laudrup will end up throwing his toys out the pram. He always does. He's stubborn and doesn't play nice. His agent is notorious for stirring up shit. Laudrup fell out with the leadership in Brøndby, Getafe and Mallorca. Him and Ashley just won't mix, and Laudrup will walk at the sight of bother. He just doesn't care. Good manager, no doubt, and have an eye for good players, and also seem to have a very strong scouting network. The things said about Laudrup after the Swansea thing, sounds a bit like the the club desperatly trying to justify firing a man, that didn't want to extend his contract. Also - Laudrup is nailed on to be manager for Denmark next year. I could very well see that happen.

He was a very competent striker in the Danish league, and did get a couple of run outs for the national team, but there is still a massive leap up to the PL. But he seems to have become even more shit, after coming back from Cardif

Danish press is reporting, that Carr was in Copenhagen last week, to look at Andreas Cornelius. There is potential in him, but he is no where ready for the PL, and he is not on form, after coming back from Cardiff.

Yearh. They played a horrible game in Copenhagen. FC Copenhagen might nick it, and Kalou is apparently out for the return

Newest noise in Denmark is, that IF FC Copenhagen manages to beat Lille. then Lille will sell Debuchy. Apparently at a price tag around 6 million. It's a big IF

Did anyone catch this little gem on twitter?
