Rob Edwards, David Vaughan and Mo Camara

Three signing in quick succession Rob Edwards, David Vaughan and Mo Camara. Big Mo has signed on loan till the end of the month while Vaughan and Edwards sign two year contracts. I have to say I’m impressed. A friend of my who’s a Crewe fan commented that David Vaughan will be a fitting replacement for Wes Hoolahan and Rob Edwards has played 15 times for Wales, sounds good!

So it’s looking good for the new season which starts on Saturday. Yes we’ve lost Wes and Kaspars. Had a shit pre-season but it all seems to be coming into place for Saturday…………. <!– /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:”Cambria Math”; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:1; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-format:other; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:0 0 0 0 0 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:”"; margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:”Calibri”,”sans-serif”; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt; line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt; mso-header-margin:36.0pt; mso-footer-margin:36.0pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –> unfortunately I’m not going to be there……organsing a wedding on the first day of the season……..tut tut tut.

Another Adam Hammill video with two great goals

Another Adam Hammill video this time scoring two goals against Southport reserves for Liverpool reserves, the first a great shot / lob the second just a mazy run taking it past three players and then slotting in the back of the net.

He is going to be a star.

Edit: Main video has been removed, two have are still live.

Which one is the best? Add your comment?

Shrewsbury Town 2 - 0 Blackpool

Not the greatest of results and we’ve racked up 9 injures with Shaun Barker, Steve Kabba and Stephen McPhee adding to the list last night. Some pictures from the match have been posted via the Seasiders Mailing List (now linked to at the bottom in the blog roll) and there a highlights video of the game on youtube.

Two highlights in the video Ben Burgess hitting the bar and Keith Southern having a shot blocked by the ref.

Blackpool FC Aug/Sept 2007 Highlights Video

There are few great Blackpool FC Videos out there but this highlights video for August September 2007 takes it to another level. Posted through the Seasiders Mailing List (I suggest being a memeber) by Peter Gillett of the old Seasiders.net. The music to go along with the video is James - Born of frustration.

Michael Flynn signs for Huddersfield

Former Pool midfielder Michael Flynn has signed for Huddersfield Town joining up with former Seasider Keigan Parker. I for one expected Flynn to make much more of an impact at Blackpool FC, he was the top scorer and captain at Gillingham and had a few seasons in the Championship already under the belt. He did make a lot of starts in the season but never really shone.

It shows how we’ve moved on if the players we are releasing are moving to lower league clubs! With the Shrewsbury freindly on Friday It would be good to see a new face in the squad! David Vaughan anyone?

Adam Hammill signs for Pool

Liverpool youngster Adam Hammill has signed for Blackpool on loan from Liverpool, this is a great signing. He’s been touted as the next Ronaldo / Joe Cole with a few tricks in his back pocket. It looks like we might have the new Wes. All I need to say is watch this goal against Celtic.

Edit : Just found this video, slightly strange.

Ben Burgess Blog

Big Ben Burgess may get some stick time to time (remember top scorer last season) but he’s a good journo. Reading some of his work last season in the Gazette he mentioned how after his career he would like to become a sports journalist. This season he’s got his own blog on the Sport of the World website.

Ben will be adding a new article on a weekly basis and he’s started with some stories about pre-season training including how the new training tops dyed everyone blue. To read  the blog just click here.

Steve Kabba and Jermaine Wright sign

Bish bosh bang another two signings, as expected Jermaine Wright on a free after leaving Southampton and one that no one predicted Steve Kabba from Watford on loan.

Apparently Kabba’s had a torrid time at Watford, only one goal in two years has made him surplus to requirements. Searching for a picture of Steve to stick on here I’ve found a blog laying into him, apparently he’s a an unlucky player, that translates to a donkey. If anyones going to get something out of a donkey it’s Simon Grayson, all I’m saying, Ben Burgess 10 goals last season!

Gary Roberts to Blackpool from Crewe?

After the big news about the South Stand being build theres been loads of transfer news, i’m going over all of them but there is one that sticks out. Gary Roberts has staying in the UK while Crewe are on a pre-season tour in Bulgaria. Apparently he’s going to be chatting with ourselves and Cardiff. About moving away from Crewe. He’s already on the transfer list after a couple of times missing training so a move is on the cards.

While checking out Robert on wikipeadia there a quality comment on there

I’m guesing thats from a Cardiff Fan.
