Silly Season January 2014

[jrj]

Lazy journalism linked him to those three clubs recently, only seriously linked a year or two ago to RS, concrete interest this window has been from those clubs I mentioned.

No, how come Bobby himself said he rated Ince the other week, its obvious we are interested in the lad, just we want him in the summer and cant loan him now like the others.

Did they? Says who? The Daily Star? Is that why he's at Stoke today yeah?

The Metro mate.

Link me Bobby saying he rated him.

All of those players cost money - £6m, £4m and £5m respectively - whilst Ince would effectively be on a free and still nobody above the calibre of Swansea gives a toss.

Daft argument. He was on the verge of joining Cardiff for £8m last summer, until he decided to sit tight & run his contract down
Also the ****e have been linked with him so your argument is downed there

It was on sky like but okay

And guess what he was at swansea yesterday too.

Don't know if it's news to you but players go and speak to managers before potential moves.

Of course it was mate.

Stoke, Hull and Sunderland have also been given permission to meet with the England Under-21 international.

However, it is believed that Liverpool have not joined the race for the player despite having the option to match any bid for him as part of the deal that took him from Anfield to Bloomfield Road in 2011.

Was in the mail a few weeks ago, with quotes. Search it for yourself.

We offer £1m now we'd land him on a permanent, as Blackpool would view that as pure profit. Martinez doesn't rate him enough to do so, what does that say to you?

It was. I was watching the tv when it happened.. 'Sky sources understand Liverpool have opened talks over bringing tom ince' is what they said.

 

[Ashtonian]

what are the realistic chances we unveil a fantastic new signing minutes before kick off and have him start at the same time?

Suprise!!!!! Here's Benzema

As I said, lazy journalism. Bid never made, talks never opened.

Concrete interest from Crystal Palace, Stoke and Swansea, not Liverpool, Spurs etc. And he's on a free. If this was the new Ronaldo as some people make out then big clubs would take a punt on him.

Scouting networks have done their work on him over the last 12 months and clearly advised clubs to swerve unless desperate.

Rodgers is quoted talking about Ince joining them as far back as last January, so there's been long standing interest in taking him back there

Cool. I know Martinez him self likes him because he said so, i rate him also. You don't no point going further than that because neither of us will change our minds.

It's about opinions that's what the forums for eh!

They will get more by letting him go for free, thats why they are open to him to go out on loan.

This is what he said-
'I like Tom Ince. As a young, English talent, he is a phenomenal footballer but it would be unfair of me to talk about him as he has got a very important second half of the season with Blackpool.

A year ago yes, when he was hot property and the YouTube bids where flying around. It's now 2014, he's available on basically a free and hawking himself about - where's the bid? 12 months worth of further scouting opportunities, you'd think the big clubs would be salivating at the prospect of a top player with no price tag.

2013 - £8m price tag, top clubs looking at him.
2014 - £0m price tag, relegation prospects looking at him.

Do you think clubs may be put off due to the excess baggage he comes with? Namely his cretin of a dad.
