Blackpool pull out of £150,000 winger bid

<div class="ds-firstpara" id="ds-firstpara">Blackpool have pulled out of their &pound;150,000 bid for Barnsley winger Martin Devaney, according to reports.</div><div class="va-bodytext" id="va-bodytext">The Seasiders had been keen on the winger and are reported to have held talks after activating a clause in his contract.

However, The Daily Star claims that talks haven broken down and Simon Grayson will not be perusing his interest.

Meanwhile, Sunderland misfit Arnau could be heading for Bloomfield Road after failing to persuade manager Roy Keane he has a part to play on Wearside.

The 26-year-old is training with the Coca-Cola Championship club with a view to completing a loan move.

Former Barcelona B midfielder Arnau has not made a senior appearance under Keane in two years at the Stadium of Light.

He arrived two summers ago after Niall Quinn brought him in during his short spell as manager.

The Spaniard, who is now in the final year of his Black Cats contract, made two senior appearances for the club - he was sent off two minutes into his first start in a 2-0 Carling Cup defeat at Bury - and was later sent out on loan by Keane.

He spent part of the 2006-07 season at Southend, and played 22 times for Falkirk during the last campaign.

Should he secure his move to Bloomfield Road, Arnau would become the latest player to leave Sunderland as Keane continues his clear-out.

Greg Halford last week joined Sheffield United, while Stephen Wright is training with Coventry.
