Blackpool release 5.....

[Duffman 0]

Daniel Nardiello, Hameur Bouazza, Al Bangura, Danny Mitchley and Joe Martin have all been handed free transfers by the club, who beat Cardiff 3-2 in the Championship play-off final on Saturday.

Wouldn''t mind Bouazza. Thought he did really well for them this season and surprised he is being let go but I guess they are moving onto bigger and better.

Anybody else rate him?

Al Bangura was highly rated when he was at Watford I seem to remember - def cm.

[Big Slob 0]

He used to be absolute quality for Watford in the champuionship, he was then rewarded with a move to Fulham, but has gone down hill since.Worth a punt in my opinion.

Yeah, Bouazza''s a good, solid, energetic player. However, maybe a bit similar to the players we have already - I think we need someone who is a better playmaker and distributor of the ball, like Clingan or Safri.

[Big Slob 0]

That''s Bouazza by the way, not Bangura

The fact that Blackpool have somehow (deservedly) scraped into the prem does not automatically mean their players are any good. Personally i think that their team has been a classic case of the whole being better than the sum of the parts as most of their players looked pretty bang average champ players to me and uunless they buy a whole new team they will battered week in, week out in the prem.

DJ Campbell for £1.6m is a prime example. he is rubbish.

That''s not really a ''prime example'', the figure being mentioned is now more like £1m. Small change for somebody who has scored 11 goals in 18 games for you in a promotion season, and 9 goals in 20 games the year prior in a relegation battle.

That is 20 goals in 38 games for Blackpool, not all starts. Find me a better striker, pound for pound, and I will give you a pound. If any of our strikers managed 17 goals in their next 35 games, for example Grant Holt, we would all be screaming about them being worth £3 or £4m.

I would take him for a million quid, thats a snip, for more than a goal a game. He is a striker, his job is to score goals, he has a much better scoring rate than Robert Earnshaw at Nottm Forest (£2.65m). Do you expect Grant Holt next year to do any better than DJ Campbell in terms of goals? I don''t. Would you take £1m for Grant Holt? Enough said.

I suspect his upcoming court case probably does much to reduce his value.

But 20 goals in 38 games is not ''more than a goal a game'' is it?

Granted, one goal in two is still pretty good though!

Personally I would not pay a million for him because he is technically a very poor footballer with the touch of a rapist. I would have Chris Martin any day.
