Bluedell 5,613 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Coz he ain't that good? It's Blackpool remember. If he was a better player than that a bigger club with more cash would come in for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - not only are we undervaluing them, but we're broadcasting the fact, or at least someone is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a lot better than Blackpools full back, who Derby and Blackpool value at twice the money Rangers put on Adam. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF2008 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Can someone tell me why Rangers accepted a fee of �£500,000 for Charlie Adam. Because a few interested championship clubs (including Blackpool) tested the water with low bids and Bain basically told Blackpool the absolute minimum we'd be willing to sell him for, since he's such a decent and honest sort. ...Plus it's �£500,000 more than we got for Burke. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an expert on Blackpool's full back so can't comment. However if we were buying Adam now, would you be happy if we bought him for �£1m? I certainly wouldn't. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 500k is a decent return on a player who has never shown anything other than being a decent squad player 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship Clubs do have money though, and I certainly wouldn't buy Blackpools right back for �£1m. Tell you a wee story, my son wrote to Rangers about 8 years ago [?]recommending this player[barker], when he was at Rotherham. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't. The thing is that we're getting to the stage where we're now the financial minnows who can afford to bloat their prices when selling to clubs with more disposable income in richer leagues. The mentality that we're a massive club offloading dead weight, while true, isn't a proper representation of the new financial relationship between the clubs we're dealing with. 1m is not too much for a player who's played regularly in, and played well by all accounts, the Champions league. We'll be 500k better off, and that's good, but I'm not convinced we couldn't get more if we didn't seem so desperate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
