what do blackpool honestly expect?a way over inflated price for a lad they payed 500k for and reluctantly at that.
all oyston seems to care about is how much we got for torres not the welfare of his player:(

The welfare of the player!? Oh come one, if one of our best players wants to leave do we give a stuff about their welfare and what they want? Bollo...x do we, we say the player has a contract and he should honour it and that the club comes first. Why should Blackpool be any different?

yeah look how we faired out with torres.
was he not important to the team?.he wanted out he got out.the club didnt deny him his supposed dream move.
so what we got 50mil for him and that was because it was in his contract.if no such clause existed we would have got far less and prob less than twice what we paid for him.
obviously lfc gave a sh1t about the player to let him go rather than have him stay when he didnt want to.

id say adams contract isnt worth a sh1t at blackpool and one player isnt going to make the difference whether they stay up or not.
how many players do you recall that have honoured their contracts till the end?

I don't really see the comparison. Torres for 50 miilion compared to the 6-7 mill we're believed to have offered fo Adam.

SSN seem to think Spurs are in for him now!

do you think we should have held out for 12 times what we paid?

I don't see the relevance. 50 million is a huge sum of money and smashes the British transfer record. 6-7 million for Adam doesn't even come close to the £40 miilion that premiership survival is worth to Blackpool. I thought we were talking about whether Blackpool had done right/wrong by their player? They have done right by Blackpool form what I can see. If we really wanted the lad we should have bid somewhere in the £10 million range I think. At least that might have really turned their head.

ok then they done what was right for the club not the player.

He hasn't signed for us, so should be moved the rumours section, yeah?
