Blackpool forward Jerry Yates has been at the centre of continued transfer speculation in recent months.

Blackpool’s top scorer has been in fine form this season, managing nine goals and two assists in 21 Championship games.
A report on Alan Nixon’s Patreon stated that the weekend that the Tangerines are ready to start a winter auction for their talisman though, so it’s wise that Michael Appleton and co line up some alternatives in case he moves on.

Here, we put forward three replacements for Yates…

Aaron Collins – Bristol Rovers​

Former Newport County and Wolves starlet Collins has been in inspiring form for Bristol Rovers this season and given his ability to star either out on the left or as a centre-forward, he could be the ideal Yates replacement.
Collins has 10 goals and seven assists in 19 League One games so far this season, stepping up to the third-tier with ease.
At 25, he’s still got plenty of time to maximise his potential and become a star player for Blackpool.

Aidan Keena – Sligo Rovers​

Blackpool have shown before they’re more than willing to recruit from Ireland and Northern Ireland, often presenting the chance to sign players on cheaper deals in comparison to those struck with domestic clubs.
Keena has been a talismanic figure since joining Sligo Rovers and his tally of 25 goals and five assists over the course of 57 games in the 2021/22 campaign should have caught the eye.

The 23-year-old specialises up top, but he has been played out wide at times too.

Sonny Perkins – Leeds United​

Perkins wouldn’t be a permanent addition given that he’s viewed as one with a bright future at Leeds United. However, his form in youth football has shown he’s arguably ready for senior game time.
The 18-year-old former West Ham United starlet can play in a range of attacking roles, be it out wide or through the middle as a striker or attacking midfielder.
Perkins has eight goals in 12 games for Leeds United’s U21s this season and recently managed five goals and one assist in three games for England’s U19s.
 
don't know the last two but I took notice of Collins scoring plenty of goals last season and he's started this season in a higher division in fine form too. Don't think he'd come cheap.

Is the only information we need to know.

Don t need a replacement for Jerry Yates need one for Gary Madine who
appears to be struggling with his fitness.

Good suggestion that.
Gaz is a 'war horse' type player, who gives it out and takes plenty back. The body can only take so much punishment before it starts to wear out.
He's been a great player for us, but how much longer can he play for?

I wonder how Brad Holmes and Ewan Bange are progressing and whether they will ever
be good enough to make the 1st team squad.

Holmes was playing NPL football at Hyde, but has missed the last few games there and turned out for the development squad against Stanley, so is that loan over? Bange is getting 15 minutes here and there in Scottish L1, which is maybe NLN level?

BH turns 20 next month and EB 21, given the level they're playing at, my guess is they won't make the grade.
 
If we’re selling Yates either January or in the summer, I think summers more likely, we’re likely to net in excess of 5 million quid.

That’s is the model we set out and I have no problems with it really, but as part of that model at least half of that money would be reinvested into his replacement.

I’d suggest we’d be looking at someone of a better pedigree than those already suggested.
