Gone to Blackpool by all accounts......think we missed a good chance to get some creativity in...

You mustn't ever write anything that can be seen as even a little critism of the club otherwise you will be labelled there favourite word and receive thumbs downs from the Rosie gang

I think we're aiming higher than that. We can compete with Blackpool in both financial terms and in terms of promotion prospects. I'm sure if we wanted him (and he wanted to come here) we could have outbid Blackpool.

Yes but could we have offered the promise of first team football like they can, after all he will walk straight into the starting 11.

There is no criticism of the club in my OP. Just an observation from my own point of view. That's all....

But signing O'Grady from Barnsley was "a lack of ambition" according to many on here. So why do we want more from there?

He could have played for Ebbsfleet for all I care, hes still a decent prospect and in a better side he may well prove to be an even better player.

No disrespect to Ebbsfleet either....

I agree. Seems a lot of people just look at the name and the previous club though when judging a player.

I'm wondering how much he actually went for, does anyone know? Maybe he was out of contract....im not sure
