Post all your rumours, gossips and ITK bona fide deals on here for the Summer transfer window. Its going to be Critchleys, and Sadlers, most importsnt one yet.

Well its less than a month before the regular season ends and the rumours have started.
Nixon, Mr Reliable has suggested Lincoln, yes Lincoln are interested in Gabriel.
Lets hope those Imps fans' are ready for the latest Autumn / Winter 24 collection of Velour.
 
Big Marv is off unless we go up. Èveryone we exercise the option on will be sold for the right money. Anyone else will be flogged and the development squad will be promoted with the aim of avoiding the drop to L2

I'm certain there will be plenty in this squad that don't like the style of football and are feeling fed up with the regular poor performances away due to Critchley's insistence on sticking to formations, personnel and tactics that just aren't working.

Bloomfield Road at the moment isn't a great atmosphere. Lincoln have a far better chance of promotion hence they will have a far bigger budget than us. I'm guessing too that Gabriel's family are closer to Lincoln than Blackpool.

I may be being pessimistic here but I think what will be left of our squad at the season close could be not fit for purpose for another push for top 6 next season. Certainly if Critchley stays which I'm certain he will. The crowds will diminish, the results will continue to be poor. The atmosphere will become worse. And we will more than likely see a dozen or more untried players many who will be punts organised by our less than world class backroom hangers on.

Marv will certainly be no loss....
 
Blackpool, Bristol Rovers, Wycombe Wanderers and Shrewsbury Town are chasing Rochdale attacker Devante Rodney on a free transfer this summer.

Former Manchester City youngster Rodney is out of contract this summer and his suitors are ready to offer the forward a return to the Football League.

Your seeing eye is not always dependable Seb but the development squad may be more entertaining. One thing is for sure--a lot of money will need to be injected into a new squad of quality players for our next season in L1 or we won't see any progress.

Marv Lavery and Husband all turned down new contracts.

Not surprised or bothered about the first two but I must admit I’m surprised Husband, thought he wouldn’t to stay. Be interesting what level the 3 end up as Marv is a good player but still dodgy on the ball which a lot of teams like to play out from the back now.

Lavery is all bark but no bite - had a good first season but nothing since

Husband started the season fantastic but then faded and made a few mistakes

Wish the 3 of them well but won’t lose any sleep.

Echo that really. We'd want to improve on them all regardless of division.

Can see Championship sides taking a punt on both Ekpi and Lavery.

Marv has shown he has the defensive capabilities to play at that level, just not for a side that relies on CB to play the ball out of defence.

Lavery feels like a low risk option off the bench.

Husband surprises me a bit, as I can't see him getting a contract at the next level. Unless it's just for geographical reasons.
 
Hopeful Rhodes will sign intbe Summer.

Rhodes, who is currently working his way back from a knee injury, admits he would be “sad” if he’s played his final game for his loan club, with the forward insisting that he’s not sure what the future holds as he nears the end of his Terriers’ contract.

“I couldn’t have asked for much more (from his loan spell),” Rhodes told BBC Radio Lancashire ahead of his side’s 3-2 victory over Barnsley on Saturday.
“The coaching staff, the non-playing staff, the bunch of lads, it’s been a real great experience for both me and my family. It’d be sad actually if this is the end. It’d be nice to play some more minutes in the Blackpool football kit. We’ll see what happens there.
 
Barnsley, Huddersfield Town and Rotherham United are reportedly keeping tabs on Sheffield Wednesday midfielder George Byers.
A popular figure in S6, Byers has been on the Wednesday books since 2021 but was deemed surplus to requirements by Danny Rohl. He was allowed to join Blackpool on loan in February and was a hit at Bloomfield Road.
Although the Tangerines missed out on the League One play-offs, Byers shone with a number of all-action midfield displays. It appears unlikely he will return to the Owls fold this summer and is said to have attracted a host of admirers.
 

Moneys clearly no object for our promotion push...​

Blackpool are interested in Paddy Madden following his exit from Stockport County, reports Alan Nixon.​

Blackpool have joined the race for the soon-to-be available striker as they look to bolster their attacking options this summer. The Seasiders just missed out on the play-offs in the last campaign on the final day and will be eyeing another promotion push.
Madden, 34, is officially out of contract at Stockport County at the end of next month and is leaving the Hatters following their promotion from League Two. He is on the radar of Chesterfield after their National League title win as they prepare for life in the Football League again

Perhaps we want a strike duo with a combined age of 69?
 
Seasiders get linked with an out-of-contract League One player.
Blackpool are being linked with a move for Cheltenham Town wing-back Will Ferry, according to a report.
The Real EFL are reporting that the Seasiders among other clubs which are unnamed are interested in signing Ferry, who suffered relegation with the Robins this season. Ferry is out of contract at Whaddon Road this summer and Cheltenham have made a new contract offer to him.
