Alex Baptiste signs

Well July has got off to a good start with the signing of Alex Baptiste from Mansfeild who by the sounds of it is a very promising defender. After the Stags were relegated out of the football league it was always on the cards that Baptiste would be leaving the club and it seams that we’ve paid a bit of a fee for him.

He’s a center back but can also play at right back and as been know to play the odd game in midfield. With Ian Evatt, Kaspars Gorkss and Shaun Barker all first team players Baptiste must come in as cover. As every with all new players I’ve searched for you tube videos, just the one with him being interviewed about an injury.

QPR to bid for Hoolahan

After yesterday’s post that QPR have made a bid for Kaspars Gorkss there are rumors that  QPR will make a bid for Wes Hoolahan for, wait for it……£375K. There was an article on EDP 24 a Norfork based website that QPR will make a bid for Wes but there may be a issues with the whole transfer of Hoolahan from from Livingston with Fifa yet to decide if we still need to pay a fee to Livingston of around £75K. So the £375K would be more than the release clause of £250K in Wes’s contract and the extra money would then possibly go to Livi.

What is evident that by next week we could lose our best two players to QPR for just over half a million quid. As we know from Brett Ormerod we won’t see any of this money, sorry to be D+G but it’s not looking good, but it’s not a signed deal…..until we see the pair in the blue and white of QPR they are still Blackpool players.

Kaspars Gorkss to QPR?

It looks like Kaspars Gorkss is going to be leaving for QPR after they officially placed a bid for the big Latvian. Apparently Gorkss has a £250k release clause in his contract. Considering QPR are bankrolled by a billionaire the fee isn’t going to be a problem, so if the clause is half a million etc they’ll pay. The only sticking point is will he want to move?

Gorkss may want to be loyal to Blackpool, we gave him his first chance in football in England and most importantly it’s pretty much down to Mr Belokon that he came. Would Gorkss want to annoy Belokon? It’s like a Russian player sticking the fingers to Abramovich.

Lets hope the big man stays!

After losing in the play-off final Bristol City have released their top scorer Darren Byfield, the former Gills striker hasn’t impressed at the club and now must be a target for us. Byfield spend some time on loan at Blackpool when he was at Villa, making just three appearances. At 31 now he is getting on and has played for 12 clubs all with varying success.

Big lad Enoch Showumni, midfielder Alex Russell, Martin Slocombe and Tamas Vasko’s have also been relased. It seems like Gary Johnson is having a little re think about his team, maybe he’s got some money to play with.
