One of our local journos (who doesn't tend to say much unless he's confident) says he's been told it's £200,000 plus add ons.

Harkins really isn't that great. Alright he's had a few good seasons in Scotland but there's a reason we released him, and look where we are now.
We've made a few good signings so far. After another striker or two and another centrehalf would be nice. Looks like we'll be strong again next season.

With players like Lowe, Mayor, Adams, Jalal and Etuhu being signed up I think there is no denying we're going for promotion this season. Or administration. We will see.

Argue that goals alone don't make a player. But we're talking about a phenomenal goalscorer. He's the sort of player where it doesn't matter what level he plays at. When he gets a chance he will take it. Space and time are hard to come by at the top, but he'll score goals in the Premier League because those are exactly the things he'll create with his movement. How many teams do well in the build-up but lack the cutting edge where it matters?

Like I said before, I don't really know if he's good enough, but I suspect a lot of clubs are skeptical about pure goalscorers ability to step up a level.

Watched his four-goal haul against Wednesday again last night. Three were all about being in the right place at the right time with good movement leading to one-touch finishes. For the fourth, he isn't the quickest but he's strong enough to hold off Reda Johnson when he gets between the defenders and place it - when 4-3 down in the 97th minute, knowing it's the last kick of the game - on the outside of his right foot into the bottom corner before the keeper even has a chance to set himself. Just a shame about our shambolic defending.

ha ha yeah.
I remember watching it at the time, but I just watched it again some really good goals his last 2 great finishes! He has scored a couple of headers for us as well although he doesn't win many flick ons he does score quite a few headers in front of goal! Some great goals in there though. The sheff wed commentators were happy but I agree your defending was awful. Ben Marshall also now plays for us too the lad who scored and assisted in that match he was really good for us last season until his injury.

Not really, and I suspect that's why a Premiership club hasn't took a chance on him yet. Long may it continue!
George14brfc
I agree

Please don't post that again
Also from that I miss Ben Marshall, he was awesome for us and I forgot Sanchez Watt played for us, he was terriable

Keeps coming in with a fat bloke and kicking off.
This fat bloke could be Jon Parkin.

Yeah I know mental rumors the manager Riga might quit as well already just a month into the job. They need players I hope they decide to buy some after we play them on the 2nd day of the season though!
BR.
I forgot we had them so soon! Hopefully they're still in turmoil then, I think they will be.

I really don't think it matters about the second game of the season, lads. They've cancelled a pre-season tour and only have two pre-season games fixed up (just to run a comparison, Town have played two already and have another 6 lined up, not counting behind closed doors fixtures). With 23 days to the start of the season, they have 8 players. Any players who come in now won't have had a pre-season. They'll be 3 weeks behind at least when it comes to their fitness, and even further behind when it comes to playing with their new team-mates.
I assume Blackburn have a fairly settled squad this season. It'll be much easier for the manager to get hold of the players and mould them because they've got that experience of playing together. Blackpool won't. They might sign a handful of great players between now and then, but they're not going to have played together and won't have had the time on the training ground to be able to play together as an effective team. They might be 10 games behind their rivals. They might put a performance on against you; more likely they'll still be a mess.
After the way they ended last season, given the instability at the club, and considering the quality of players already there, I reckon they're as close to down as you can get with three weeks to go of the season. They need to sign players, and soon.

Terriersmad I agree we do have a very settled squad many of the players which went 14 games unbeaten on the back end of last season! If anything it's a big stronger but we still need some cover in defence! Blackpool have to get a keeper in soon would be interesting too see them play a youth team keeper but I am not even sure they have one so it may come down to the goalkeeping coach or even a player! But as you say without a pre season they would be very unfit and as they are now surely desperate for players, they would rush to get players in and buy poor quality.
Also how's John Stead doing for you now days? Remember when he was our top scorer around 2005 when we were in the premier league! He's alot taller now though. Don't remember him starting many games and I know alot of Huddersfield fans don't rate him but I was wondering what you though!

Still, he scored a cracking winner against Leeds in October, and he's a Town fan which, along with his first spell at the club as a kid, will mean he's always fondly thought of. Always gives the impression of being a modest bloke as well, and a proper family man interested in community causes, which gets him plenty of respect. Just a shame that at 31 he's not able to play in the higher divisions any more.
