New winger?

[Hilltop Blade 4 life]

Sheffield United are preparing a £500,000 move for Blackpool’s Irish winger Wes Hoolahan, according to Monday media reports.

Hoolahan has been a revelation at Blackpool since joining the Seasiders from Livingston in 2006.

A season-long loan resulted in promotion and a permanent move to Bloomfield Road – albeit after a lengthy legal wrangle with the Scottish club – and Hoolahan has taken the step up to the Coca-Cola Championship in his stride.

Now, Blackpool’s resolve in keeping the 25-year-old Dubliner is set to be tested by a £500,000 offer from Blades chief Bryan Robson.

Hoolahan, who helped Shelbourne to three eircom League titles before moving to Scotland two years ago, is part of the Republic of Ireland ‘B’ squad for next week’s international against a Scotland second string in Airdrie.





I know its all rumour at the moment but id be well happy to sign this guy i said at the start of the season he'd be a good signing as i saw him play a bit last year and he certainly stands out a lot from the Blackpool team as a real quality player. £500,000 ain't too big a gamble either.

This would be a good signing from what I have seen of him.

 

[stinkyblade]

He is a quality player this guy, would be a good signing

You should be doing better

Decent player, but surely you can attract bigger names than this

 

[Tinoblade]

Not seen him enough to judge him but against us away he ran the show in the second half

but agree with dj surely we should be doing better!

Looks like a big name to me.

You would of thought so.

Although for £500k this guy seems like he is worth a gamble.

He looks like he would be a good signing, don't know if he could cut the Prem but if it's £500k to help get out of this league then that's fine with me!

If we're going for players at over-achieving "small" clubs, I'd like to see a cheeky bid for Mark Yeates at Colchester.

 

[BexleyBlade]

Why no at 500K? ... We can flog him to QPR a year later and make profit if he turns out to be nought

Most likely one of those signings, where he helps us get there so was 10 times worth the price we paid at the time. However, can't quite cut it or doesn't get the chance in the big league and gets let go but at a profit.

Just a theory of course, may not be that way of we sign him, wonder how many players go that way these days, has to be more common i'm sure?

dint someone on football heaven say we should have a look at this guy, along with Scunny's full back?
