found this on VitalFrom todays Blackpool Gazette: Pool eye £500k Wes replacement THE Seasiders are being strongly linked with a move for Oldham''s Chris Taylor. But the highly-rated winger would probably cost at least £500,000. That would appear to take the 21-year-old out of Blackpool''s price range, though the club would receive £250,000 from any deal involving Wes Hoolahan and the much sought-after Taylor could be a ready-made replacement. Besides operating on the left wing, Taylor can play in central midfield and at full-back However, the League One club will do their utmost to hold on to one of their prize assets and Taylor remains under contract for the next two seasons. Pool''s newly promoted Championship rivals Doncaster are among the other interested parties but The Gazette understands that nothing less than half a million would prise Taylor away from his only club. A source close to the Latics said: "Oldham sold Neal Trotman to Preston for £500,000. He was unproven compared to Taylor, so it''s hard to believe they would accept anything less." A former trainee at Boundary Park, Tayor won a professional contract in 2005 and has made precisely 100 league appearances in the past two seasons. As for Hoolahan, he remains a Seasiders player despite frenzied speculation over a move to Norwich. The Canaries stated that no deal had been done yesterday and none of the rumoured sightings of the newly-capped Ireland international in the Norfolk area have been substantiated. Assistant manager Tony Parkes is holding the fort at Bloomfield Road after Simon Grayson started his holidays at the weekend. Parkes, chairman Karl Oyston and secretary Matthew Williams are continuing to hold discussions with players, clubs and agents this week over prospective signings. However, Seasiders are starting to lose patience with Claus Jorgensen as the midfielder delays his final decision on the one-year contract offer which has been on the table for several weeks. Secretary Williams said: "We do want to hear from Claus soon. No time limit has been imposed but we are looking to get this one tied up one way or the other."

[quote user="JaundicedJockGeorgy"]Still there can''t be too much to do in a dump like Beccles, except get drunk and fight.[/quote]actually Beccles is not too bad, I used to live in Bungay.............now thats a dump!

I just find their distribution from the back shocking, Shaks tends to hoof it and Docherty thinks he''s Pele...........he always gives it away with a silly pass under no pressure

[quote user="bass is best"]yes, ill be looking forward to seeing him in the first team. i hope he has improved he isnt that bad of player. [/quote]I think he has it in him to be a useful squad player, he definately has something to offer

[quote user="baldyboy"]ws he being victimised when hes beaten someone up? as roeder said his attitude sucks and hes a waster end of story. what a waste of talent, how many young lads would give anything to have what he has had? he makes me sick. [/quote]he was enjoying a drink when his brother was set upon, he stepped in and thats where it all went wrong.....why is he a waster? he''s been working hard in training and he''s lost weight and is pushing for the first team

no thanks

[quote user="JaundicedJockGeorgy"]I saw the Puppet Man on Gentlemans Walk today. He was brilliant. I''m surprised he hasn''t auditioned for Britain''s Got Talent yet - he would stand a good chance of winning![/quote]my missus said he was really giving it some today!

cue twilight zone music

I''m friends with his younger brother, looks like another case of him being victimised. People just want to have a pop at him........especially rugby boys

I feel sorry for the Blackpool fans.........losing their players to clauses........know how demoralising that is[:(]

we''re East Anglian..........we moan........thats what we do! (besides we''re bloody good at it)

[quote user="Thecanaryfan"][quote user="Hardhouse44"]I have to hope that our Manager knows what he is doing and what he has done. Without stirring up old news his release of our favourite son whilst we stand on the edge of a giant and possibly un-fillable abyss was to most beyond explanation. He will be replaced by somebody better. Who, how and when. [/quote] I fear Huckerby has already been replaced with a certain Mr Eagle. [/quote][:|]

If I weren''t so bloody aggitated by the clubs situation I''d turn off my PC and wait until the start of the season to see who we''ve signed!! all these rumours are giving me a nut ache

In the hood of Ditchingham

nice post

bloody hell the fixtures haven''t been released yet!! alittle ealry for the doom isn''t it?

you never know, he may be at Pakefield Pontins.........the perfect retreat for a quick return if need be..........gotta love the blue coats man

[quote user="ncfclad"]He said that he will be away for 8 days, perhaps he was away last week and I am guessing he will be back in the next couple of days. [/quote]well, that shoots the Dunston Hall meeting in the foot then!

wow

[quote user="Thecanaryfan"][quote user="rum-ole-boy"]anyone else notice its always Norwich, QPR, Charlton after these players.......[/quote]   Add Watford and Palace to the list. QPR seem to be interested in everyone. They are hijacking transfers all over the show and it is pi##ing me right off. Its no wonder we arent signing anyone. [/quote]yep, they have someone throwing money at every player available!

We need someone to come in with some money (and not a loan)
