Orlandi triggers release clause from Blackpool?!!

[British Bulldog]

Of course. Not sure releasing Orlandi was the reason we finished 20th either.

Did'nt help in my opinion, I'm pretty sure he would have done a darn sight better job than Paddy did.

...and the Oystons are fond of legal battles.

Do they sit in 1901 ?

The articles you've linked are dated in April when Blackpool triggered his extension clause, but the season hadn't finished then.

Agreed ! Blackpool is complicated. He's been given the option of an extra 1 year. (much later piece a few weeks ago this time) .

Only three players were "but major question marks hang over [his] Bloomfield Road future..." Manager keeps giving interviews saying he doesn't know what squad he'll have until they come back for training on June 29th.

Does anyone actually know whether or not he is contracted to them? I assume that if he is then it's only so they can screw a fee out of someone who he decides he would actually like to play for.
Sadly, no matter how hard Calde tries, I think it won't be us.

Orlandi was entitled to leave if Pool were relegated and he had played 23 full games, or 2070 minutes.
Blackpool based its calculations on 90 minutes for a full game, not allowing for added time.

I would LOVE to see Orlandi come back. Although I don't feel the homosexual man-love for him that many of our fans seem to do, I love him as a player. He seems like a great fella that loved this club and this city. Bring him home!

It's 2015 Wellesley and the metrosexual man is perfectly entitled to express his appreciation of the sex appeal of another man (in this case the delicious, borderline edible Orlandi - the thinking man's crumpet) without having prehistoric phrases such as 'homosexual man-love' bandied around in relation to the love that dare not speaketh it's name. Get out of the 1950s and get with the programme!

change 1950's for 1980's and your cred rises instantly sweetie....

Wouldn't be at all surprised if he returns, but not before the season has already started.

He is a free agent and not bound by transfer windows, anyway ( unless he signs for someone else in the meantime).

Andrea Orlandi is a free agent after agreeing a mutual termination of his contract at Blackpool.
The club backed down at the final minute and agreed to let the Spaniard move on

Would be a good squad player and I think would like to come back.

He's good when it's not windy.

Or cold or away from home.

Top bloke though

Zamora dies down, Orlandi gets another look in.

Murray next.

 

[Marshy]

What harm in asking him to train with us and go on the training camp .... none in my opinion, so Chris can take a look....

There speaks a man not paying the bill.

Wouldn't cost us much (if anything) to have him train with us. Obviously be more of a cost if he flew out with the squad to the training camp.

What's the point?
So bloody what if he's buddy's with Calderon....He was released for a good reason and he's old news.Christ we release a player who's injury prone and getting on and now some want him back ffs.

 

[perseus]

We have a shortage of left-sided players, but we have JFC and Solly March, so I don't think there will be a place for him. We were right to let him go as he would only be making up the numbers. But he might have won us a few points last season with March getting injured.



Rider: he may actually be better at left back than Chicksen. This would be an emergency and I think Holla might be able to drop back in such a contingency? JFC nad March can't. But we really need a specialist left back.

Any rate for a left sided player I like the look of Jérémy Hélan (Wednesday) but this would require a transfer fee of £2+ million and he might turn us down. This is the standard required and the probable cost.

To sign Orlandi means mid-table at best.
