Alan Gow has now signing for Blackpool. It appears that the deal was off this morning but loan deal has now been arranged. This morning the deal was for a £250,000 signing with a 3 year contract. This evening it’s been confirmed by the Rangers chairman, David Murray, that Gow would be signing on a long term deal.

He play either upfront, in midfield or on the wing, which seems pretty similar to GTF. Starting his career at Clydeank, he moved onto Airdrie United then Falkirk. His move to Rangers didn’t go to plan as never started a game with plenty of players ahead of him in the pecking order. Lets he gets some first team action at Pool!

Sone Aluko has departed Blackpool to join Aberdeen on a permanent contract. Akuko has been on loan at Blackpool from Birmingham and featured in a couple of matches. It’s the only confirmed news from today’s transfers as the deadline of 12:00pm approaches.

On Radio Lancashire tonight news from the club was that we were in talks with 2 players. Remember that the loan market remains market.

It’s Transfer Deadline Day and we’ve been in the market but no results. Rangers Striker Alan Gow has rejected a move to Blackpool after a fee of £250,000 was apparently agreed.

If there is any signing it’s going to happen in the text 11 hours, 22 minutes and 10 second.

Opening day defeat but we’ve got Sone Aluko

We’ll the start of the season didn’t go to plan, to start I wasn’t at the match then Steve Brooker proved to be the party pooper smashing in a volley in the 89th min. Highlight Here. From that match reports it does seem that the team gelled well and we were unfortunate not to take at least a point from the match.

One good point is that we’ve brought in another player, Sone Aluko from Birmingham on loan. Aluko was part of the Aberdeen team that drew with Bayern Munich last season. He’s his goal from that game and another goal against Dundee in the SPL.

Roll on tomorrow night for the First Round of the League Cup against Macclesfield Town!

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!

rob-edwards

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………….unfortunately I’m not going to be there……organsing a wedding on the first day of the season……..tut tut tut.

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.

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

In July 2008 he signed for Cardiff City football club for 30 footballs and a Clarkes pie.

I’m guesing thats from a Cardiff Fan.

Like busses, you wait……..yada yada yada, another siging one that was coming Joe Martin from Spurs who spent the end of last season on loan at the Pool. He did well in the last game of the season and should become the player to replace Gary Taylor-Fletcher when he gets knackered after 70 minites!

There is no pictures of young Joe Martin on the new so here’s the next best thing a picture of popular 80′s band the Housemartins, yes thats Norman ‘aka FatBoySlim’ Cook.
