The key is getting this year's signings and loans right. Don't even think about the ones who are leaving.
He's 30.Reads like their owner trying to drum up interest in order to get a club to pay a fee.
32, injury prone, and only played 16 games last season and will cost 300k, hard pass.
Would be surprised if we actually submit a bid.
Be good if we could get George Hirst included aswell as a fee.Glad a club like Leicester are bidding, just means that we'll be able to get a big fee for him.
With Leicester having parachute payments and big fees from sales, I think we should be able to get close to 5m, especially if other clubs come in too.
We are in a good spot with Yates no matter what; we keep him and we have a 25 goal scorer in League 1, if we sell then we have 4m-5m to invest in the squad.
Well, if you can do something about that speech impediment, I see no good reason why you shouldn't join him. It's just I know how tetchy the Romans can be about such things. Why, in the days of the coloseum...Iiiii have a fwend in Wome called Baccus......
To be fair these quotes are from his last interview three weeks ago!
So he might be panicking now? Shit.To be fair these quotes are from his last interview three weeks ago!

He's had his holidays. Work to do.He might be on the beach. We don’t know
(Partly this is a consequence of the fact the Gazette ‘reporter’ is a guy in another town bashing out one BFC story a day during his lunch hour)
Where’s the guy that worked opposite the health centre place in St Anne’s who used to keep us all informed of incomings / medical or Trenchcoat?!Our first signing to be announced very soon apparently

8th highest scorer in a relegated side. Of course is good enough.I’ve always said that Jerry’s commitment and energy levels are unquestionable but, is he really good enough for the Championship?
IF he stays then I believe a season in the 3rd tier will do him good and boost his confidence no end. Although he does have confidence in abundance it doesn’t quite work for him (IMO) in the Championship.
No doubt I will be told that he has been played out of position for most of the season but hey, as I said it is just my opinion..
Good age as well, nice to see us sign players who still have their best years ahead of them3 year contract plus option, like the sound of him, just what we need
Agree but I understand the point being made, and a fair proportion of his goals were penalties. He would be a fantastic asset to us in L1, but I do struggle to understand why he would be a great addition to the likes of Leicester and Luton.8th highest scorer in a relegated side.

I cant see him going to Luton, Prem is too big a leap surely. Leicester feels too big too but i dont know their circumstances and what their owners intend. He's good enough for most Championship sides though IMO. Cov downwards maybe. He has spells without scoring whuch i think is down to confidence but also being in a lower half Championship team that didnt create regular chances for him. Think about his goals and he is a quality finisher.Agree but I understand the point being made, and a fair proportion of his goals were penalties.

Even if they really want him they'll only pay just enougb to beat off competitors. Obviously. Nobody ever said, "hey we're loaded, have 25 million!"Bit part at Leicester I would have thought, hence the level of their offer. Just because they are looking likely to get a fair bit of incoming doesn’t mean they will improve massively for a player who they view as a bit of a squad option only.
It really depends on who the competitors are, if Leeds, Southampton, or one of the other ex-PL sides get into a bidding war, the price could go up rapidly.Even if they really want him they'll only pay just enougb to beat off competitors.

Of course. But there's a Jerry ceiling and it wouldnt get much above 5m i suspect even if all those clubs got involved. 7m absolutely top whack i reckon. And i still think it'll be 3.5 - 4 ish.It really depends on who the competitors are, if Leeds, Southampton, or one of the other ex-PL sides get into a bidding war, the price could go up rapidly.
Tomato will do me!Sauce?
I knew you had it in you Insider. Keep up the good work. When will our second signing be announced and which position?420ish posts in total from both threads and we've bagged our first signing.
It's good question but I don't know the answer.I knew you had it in you Insider. Keep up the good work. When will our second signing be announced and which position?
Only joking, but good reponse!It's good question but I don't know the answer.
My guess is that we'll see some more transfer activity next week.
Not much happening that is being leaked to him.The Boss of Goss, Alan Nixon, one hour ago reckons there is not much happening at Blackpool. I would be surprised and very disappointed if that is the case.
Nixon’s source of info is no longer associated with the club.The Boss of Goss, Alan Nixon, one hour ago reckons there is not much happening at Blackpool. I would be surprised and very disappointed if that is the case.
Not sure it takes us much further. This is one that it would probably suit all parties to get sorted as early as possible … if only it were that simple.
Wonder if we could get a swap deal? I'd be chasing Malik Wilks - powerful winger and top scorer in L1 a few years agoSorry yeah i used the wrong thread. This one needs stickying. Not too proactive our mods? Too many multiple threads for same topics too.
Discussions are underway as Sheffield Wednesday look to try and bring Reece James back to the club next season following promotion.
Owls manager, Darren Moore, is a big fan of the Blackpool defender having worked with him even before his arrival at Hillsborough on loan last season, and it was always thought that they’d be considering the option of bringing him back.
James himself, who played 34 times in Wednesday colours on their way back to the Championship, has made it clear that he’d jump at the opportunity to return to S6 if it presented itself, and talks are now taking place to see if that can happen.
Good shout, but didn’t do well last seasonWonder if we could get a swap deal? I'd be chasing Malik Wilks - powerful winger and top scorer in L1 a few years ago
