........and it's not Fleetwood!!!!!!! Report in the People today says Ian Holloway is trailing Shaun for Blackpool. Well you couldn't deny the lad that opportunity could you but at least we should get some cash.

[Timperley The Best]

just read that one  surely it would involve a lot of money if hes now on contract

[markecky]

Is it just me who thinks he is nowhere near ready for that?

If this was true, how much would you think he'd be worth?

From the same paper that said he was going to sign for Preston in 2008 afte being released from everton.

Would presume he would be on a contract with us, and we would get a fair wedge, plus a decent sell on clause anyhow.

Is it just me who thinks he is nowhere near ready for that?

Probably isnt, would need a season or two in league one and championship to be fair. Something that Shotton seems to have done quite well.

No Ecky, you are not alone. He's a good player but The Premiership? Good luck to him but I don't think so.

[lukealty12]

Maybe there signing him to then loan out as a prospect for the future?

[AltyTunnelSteward]

I believe that, when he was at Everton, he was more highly regarded than Jack Rodwell or Dan Gosling until he got injured

[bigcol]

Interesting - it has now raised his profile so even if Blackpool don't sign him, others will want to take a look.  Nice to see him mentioned in the same sentence as someone from another Trafford club.  It will raise our profile too indirectly.

Then again, Holloway does have a rep for doing slightly odd things.

Mixed feelings, I think we've been cherry-picked enough this pre-season.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

If, and this is a big "if", Blackpool did come in for Shaun and the money they offered us was considerable, just think of the difference it might make to our club next season. It could allow the playing budget to be increased if we were really lucky.

I'm not saying it's likely to happen, it most probably won't, but aren't these the kind of "miracles" that clubs like ours crave every once in a while?

[Jacko]

As he's a defender I wouldn't expect much, how much is our biggest transfer fee incidentally?

Ellison?

I'm not sure, but I think the biggest was the sell-on for Ian Craney.

Good luck to Shaun if Blackpool buy him.

Blimey if he goes gh has an impossible job as some people's expetations are very high after last season

I think you're jumping the gun far too much here Jacko, IMO Twiss has the potential to be better than Senior, and if his confidence is high, the potential to be one of the highest scorers in the league. Ok, we have to replace Youngy, but we have the money he was on available so should be able to get someone similar. If Shaun goes it'll be for serious money and we'll have no problem in getting someone in more than capable of the job.
