Yes and he was subbed at half time as Knight was sent off so we needed to get another defender on!

He also scored a last minute winner against Fulham and a late free kick at Sunderland that won us a point that season so certainly a squad player who won us a few points that season.

Surprised Martinez hasn't taken him to Everton.

That McManaman would be a better shout.

Don't really see what all the fuss is about with that lad. I think he was last seasons James McLean, who was the season before's Albrighton. If you catch my drift.

We should sign McManaman and Cattermole, so the weekly Delph first booking sweepstake pot can treble every game.

Blackpool have agree a fee for Nathan Delfouneso.

Bannan move to Blackburn has broken down (wages suspected the sticking point)

I liked Maloney, but don't think we will be in for him now, as he doesn't meet the new criteria

I could never understand why MON bought him,
 he wasn't big, or a winger, he wasn't going to track back or get in any crunching tackles,
 he was a little playmaker, a bit of technical support bridging the gap between midfield and the forwards,
 I personally love that sort of player but MON didn't, he was everything MON didn't want in a player, so why did he bring him in not give him much of a chance and not play him very often

its a mystery

A lot of MONs decisisions were a mystery  ::)

Why did he buy Sidwell and only use him as a bench warmer?
Why did he buy Routledge?
Why did he buy Shorey?
The list goes on, and on and on

A lot of twitter traffic about him coming to Blackpool & a lot of 'pool fans excited about it. Nothing in the local press though.

The Delfouneso twitter 'person' is a fake.

And Henderson the year before that. Ironically a player who I think would fit well on the right of our 3 midfielders (think jimmy lite).

I actually think he's a good player, he just wasn't a £20m player when Liverpool signed and its impossible to develop into one without playing matches.

Thought they signed him for 18M and Downing for 20M.

I noticed on Sky last night they put up the top five record British transfer fees and Milner wasn't on it, despite two fees being on there of 25 and 22 million quid.

It felt like they were laughing at Ireland's valuation. Strange, cos I was crying.

I see Mallorca are saying Hutton is increasing his personal demands which are preventing the move. Great.
