Does he? Aren't other clubs supposed to be interested?
He's a good player and definately better than what they've got at the minute.
If he was Brazilian and playing in soemo half arsed foreign league they'd be talking about him being worth £15 million.
Surprised that other clubs haven't been in for him.
Didn't Villa also have a bid rejected?
Yeh, it was Villa who Holloway called a half assed club that used to be famous!
But you could insert them quotes for Liverpool too.
Only a matter of time.If it is the dippers they are in the driving seat once a transfer request comes in.
They are not exactly either/or players.
We were interested in him before the Suarez thing went public.
Think we were waiting on Van Bommell before moving on Adam.
none more appealing

Liverpool are going for Van Bommel? And i didn't think i could dislike them more.
They are in the driving seat to get him but not necessarily in this transfer window. I don't believe his value will deteriorate much from £5m between now and the summer and it's not enough for Blackpool to accept given the risks of relegation.
If Liverpool want him then they can get him but they will need to make the risk worthwhile for Blackpool.

So i suppose he won't play tomorrow. Surely he won't be in the right frame of mind to play after handing in a transfer request?
Never understand that logic, you're paid a stupid amount of money to kick a ball. You've handed in a transfer request that you know the club that pays you doesn't want to accept, surely you could have the decency to do what you're paid to do and get out there and play. That way you leave with at least a bit of dignity rather than looking like some spoilt brat that hasn't got his way.
He's come a long way from the player who wasn't good enough for Rangers a couple of years ago. Scoring a few penalties certainly increases your stock.
Not just that, but playing in your best position rather than stuck out wide helps.
I don't know, i'm not Charlie Adam. Berbatov didn't play after he handed in a transfer request to Spurs
It depends on Holloway sees it
Definitely seems like a flavour-of-the-month signing.
That same approach would have got you Amr Zaki a season or two ago.

What did happen to that fella? I know he had some anger management and time keeping issues.
His was a spectacular rise and fall
My thoughts on that would be that if he was that good Rangers would've played him in his best position. It's not like they had a surplus of quality midfielders.
In terms of playing time, Liverpool is not the most appealing team for him.
He's said that he'll definitely play tomorrow and Adam would kill him if he didn't let him play against United.
I think he is more valuable to Blackpool as they try to stay in the Premier League than the 5-8 million they would get from his transfer.
Would be a good signing for us.
Who in our squad is he better than? I would chose Gibson over him.

That's stretching it a bit.

Don't think so, similar players actually, and I would have Gibson although its a close one.
He's a lot better than Gibson.
Gibson cost us nothing though.

What?
Clever move by Liverpool, weakening one of their rivals for 11th.
They're basically doing what Man City did to Everton and Villa.
Steal their best players so you can almost guarantee finishing ahead of them.

He would have Gibson (Darren Gibson) over Adam.
I would take Adam over Gibson, easily, no hesitation.
Adam is much more like Scholes imo - a very good passer of the ball from deep, would do well in rotation with Scholes as part of our squad.
Wouldn't be too bothered about us not going for him though.

not a chance i'd let him go to liverpool. staying up is worth so much more for the club. i'd keep him no matter what. if he throws a strop and plays like shit, he's only sabotaging himself from having good clubs come in for him this summer....so he won't play like a twat.
keep him olly!
keep him olly!
Well he's miles better than Gibson and I never suggested what role in squad he would play, so err, yeah keep on laughing if it makes you happy.
I've only just seen these posts.
Well, on current form he's better than Fletcher, but they're different players. He isnt far off being as good as Carrick, but again, they're different players.
I'm not sure why you would have Gibson over him. Adam provides just as much of a goal threat, yet is a better passer and has better positional discipline. He's basically superior in every way and is only 2 years older.
What's your logic? Are you saying because Gibson cost us nothing, we should keep him over signing somebody else?
