TheGoogler 324 Posted February 19, 2011 According to the Sun and the Mirror. Good, solid centre half, played a good role in Blackpool''s last few seasons. Just the sort of player we need, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted February 19, 2011 I heard ''The Doc'' was being considered as he knows the club and still has a caravan in the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somerset Canary 0 Posted February 19, 2011 Would be the most likely cantidate at the moment seeing as Lambert did say the defender coming in would provide cover for the other two.Was captain for Blackpool under Simon Grayson and played a part in their promotion campaign, so he knows what it takes to get out of this league.Good signing in my opinion.

Erik the Viking 0 Posted February 20, 2011 Nelson was not rated enough no or Lambert would have kept him, at best our fourth choice centre back hence him being released. Gabbidon would be a far better option and if we have serious ambition to push on players of this calibre should be on our radar if we want to mantain our improvement over the last 19 months....

chicken 0 Posted February 20, 2011 But this is a short term loan deal.Lambert and McNally will want to be cautious with the money we do have. If we fail to go up £3million (rumoured amount) is quite a sum in this league to be able to spend on players especially if they are only looking at two or three quality signings.Yes we should get in players capable of continuing the push for the premiership but Ward and Whitbread are playing well. We have Askou as well if we need additional backup as well as whoever we sign on loan.I don''t think they will be in a hurry to splash the cash unless it is really worthwhile in terms of a match-winning player.

alysha 0 Posted February 20, 2011 I guess the question now is will we search for a loan striker after the setback of C.Martin''s injury? For those who feel slightly dissapointed at the prospect of Edwards''s instead of a bigger name, I would rather we spend more money on a loan striker than defender; fingers crossed Lambert will get someone in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted February 21, 2011 Going back to Edwards, I think I saw that he can play RB as well as CB, so could be able to cover for Martin as well. This would seem to make sense, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel there are better options out there for sure................[/quote]I think your comments are serious and not a wind up. I would suggest Edwards would be welcomed by most clubs in the championship and the reason we can afford Edwards is because of Blackpools wages policy. And of course our current centre halves are so good we have managed 2 clean sheets in our last 20 games ( not meant as a criticism to our centre halves just showing your comments about Edwards are not well informed ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.B.C 0 Posted February 21, 2011 He may not be a ''name'', but he knows the Chump inside out. He was with Wolves before then and started off with Villa. Good tidy player.Now for the striker. Come on down Ched or Cox please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowbeagle 0 Posted February 21, 2011 He''s been brought in as back up, honestly did people really think someone like Sol Campbell was going to come in as backup?, we needed someone who was decent enough without rocking the boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted February 21, 2011 "Amazing that all you guys can make a presumption on seeing this world beater on what one or two occasions.........."You don''t sound too bright, are you from suffolk by any chance ?It is you making the presumptions, not the rest of us.You who are judging this chap BEFORE he has played.You who are making presumptions on the club''s ''ambitions''. Assumptions based, not on any reasoned knowledge of who Lambert has attempted to sign or on what funds are available, but on your own halfwitted guesses.So here''s a suggestion. Maybe "our improvement over the last 19 months" is down to the boards judgement and Lamberts management rather than any witless drivel from you - so why not trust them rather than cluttering up this forum with your infantile squeaks ?
