Burgess to Blackpool?

[algie]

Hull chairman Adam Pearson has confirmed the club have received an enquiry from Blackpool about Ben Burgess.The striker has hit 24 goals in 54 league starts in his three years at the KC Stadium but has suffered injury problems.

However, the 24-year-old is now fully fit and reportedly keen on a move because he is out of favour with new Tigers manager Phil Parkinson.

Burgess is valued at around £100,000 but Pearson has denied winger Stuart Elliott is set to leave the club for Leicester in a £400,000 move.

Surely we can out compete Blackpool?Saying that he did come from Blackburn and might fancy going back over that way

 

[Gerbil]

He was at Brenford as well so he's been down here before.

Were we genuinly "interested" in him at all though or was it another Tom Brighton scenario

In footballing terms then surely we would be more attractive to a player than Blackpool every time.
However the cost of relocating down here from up north must put a lot of players off.

Hull are keen to off load him now so they can strengthen.Nows our chance

We cant compete with anyone in the transfer market.If we had any cash we should have gone for Hartlepools Adam Boyd now at Luton.Reported for 500k +

Blackpool have a Latvian/Russian millionaire in charge of them now so they may have a bit of money to spend.

Dick Knight found a fiver down the bag of the sofa, pretty much doubling our transfer budget for the season.

I thought we weren't signing him because he was wanted at Hull

True, but the problem is this Latvian buying into Blackpool might have more money for a bidding war. We don't have money for that alas. This guy is promising to inject "several millions of pounds into the playing side" at Blackpool.

No, the reply we got is that Parkinson wanted a longer look at him. Any day he might make up his mind to release him and we then have to give it our best shot.

 

[Easy 10]

No worries, I'm sure we'll bag Parkin before the months out anyway.

You really haven't got a clue what your talking about

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

How can you say the club cant afford Burgess? Knight said the fee isnt a problem for Parkin and it was the same story with Dichio
