    2 great defensive free transfers Fraser Horsfall from Stockport and Michael Ihiekwe from the fowls, think Blackpool will be up there under Brucie next season.

    Building from the back. Two defenders I'd have loved us to sign. Looks like we can't compete with Blackpool and a few other clubs.

    Both good players but not sure I'd have wanted either of them on 4 and 3 year deals. Especially Ihiekwe on a 3 year deal at 32.

    Yes, 3 years at 32 is a bit of a risk. Great defender at L1 level though.

    Very good L1 defender but definitely not worth a 3 year deal.

    We gave Roberts a two year deal at 33 (almost 34) though, which is the same.

    Hope you're right but Horsfall is only young and has just had a great season with Stockport. They offered him another deal but he's chose to join Blackpool instead.

    We might even have been after one or both of them but we aren’t going to be blowing any clubs out of the water by offering top money.

    Hardly young mate, be 29 a couple of months into season. I wouldnt have minded him though, had a good season. Would've stayed well away from Ihiekwe though, especially on a contract like that

    Doesn't really bother me. As long as we are active in the main window.

    Stand corrected on Horsfall. Thought I’d read he was about 26.

    Still, should be at the height of his prime really, after probably best couple of seasons of his career mate.

    Yeah I mean Michael Ihiekwe only has 146 games at L1 and 105 at championship and was pivotal to Wednesday's promotion in 23 and Fraser Horsfall key to Stockport's promotion and just captained them to a playoff place.

    What a strange comment

    I was referring to Horsfall .Its not a crime to not be aware of a player is it?

    Blackpool owner/chairman has already stated that they're 'going for it' next season
