Marcus Pedersen (born 8 June 1990) is a Norwegian football player who currently plays for Vitesse.

He played in his first game for the senior side at the age of 14 in a friendly game for his first club HamKam. After 9 appearances and only scoring 1 goal for the club, he left on a free transfer to Strømsgodset. There he made 40 club appearances netting 17 times. His decent form got him a 1.2mil pound transfer to Vitesse. He has so far made 5 appearances and has scored 3 goals for the Dutch club.

With Holden out injured and him rotating with Dempsey he's getting enough first-team action to make most players happy and they just signed his brother from Roma so I don't see him leaving Fulham.

Ah yeah you're right my mistake about Holden :oops:

There's been chat about John Carew joining so that's also a possibility. He's a free agent and 31 years old. Granted we'd only get a season out of him but all we need is 1 good season out of him to be honest.
