Tom Ince - Am I missing something?

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

He is looking to go out on loan for the remainder of the season and at the end of the season he becomes a free agent. Why are Blackpool not selling him to cash in? As he obviously wants out, is it just a case of him telling Blackpool that he will not be sold to another club and that he will then be eligible for a chunky signing on fee in the summer or is there some other reason?

I imagine there will be a fee involved in taking him on loan now, in lieu of a transfer fee in the summer.

Blackpool are a badly run club and next season will drop through the league like a stone.

probably the self acclaimed 'Guvnor' has got a lot to do with it....

Potentially agreed a deal elsewhere at the end of the season?

Good point. As he is only 22 will Blackpool still be able to cash in although he we be a free agent.? ( Unsure re Bosman ruling ).

 

[Albion Robster]

Such an over-rated player.
Linked with Spurs and Liverpool six months ago, those two clubs have steered well clear of him since.

I thought it was rumoured Monaco have snapped him up for next year

Only last summer he turned down an £8 million move to Cardiff. Bet Blackpool are kicking themselves now.

It's quite simple really Ince wants out so Blackpool are open to negotiations. However, his contract is set to run and the clubs know Ince won't be staying at Blackpool and sign a new contract extension so they are just sitting and waiting for when he's a free agent so they save a shed load of money.

 

[Icy Gull]

When you consider that they sacked his Dad by text, I imagine he is being pretty bloody minded as well as having obviously lost focus. Bit of a loose canon to have around the club I'd think and why should he agree to be sold for a fee when he can negotiate a massive signing on fee by being a free agent in the summer?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Not sure if his form slipped as he's unhappy but a shadow of the player he was 12-18 months ago

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

At a guess, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season (which I think means he's allowed to start talking to foreign clubs) I imagine he's got a move lined up in the summer to go elsewhere. A professional he may be but after having seen his dad get sacked by text I'd be surprised if he was inclined to either leave B'pool now (and get some money in for them) or put too much effort in, meaning this is the only way they can get his wages taken care of until he leaves...

Palace have paid a "very large" fee apparently for the loan but wouldn't be surprised if he went to Liverpool as a free agent in the summer. Guaranteed pretty much to start at Palace whereas he wouldn't be in the current Liverpool squad.

From what I hear as likeable a character as Paul.

Bugger, that is a good signing for them

Sounds similar to a certain defender we have...

 

[Horses Arse]

Reported that Palace have paid a hefty loan fee (aka transfer to end of season). Suits Ince as he won't then be at a championship club and can get a wacking great signing on fee. Blackpool had their hand forced as others (Swansea) refused to meet the loan fee. They presumably feel it beneficial to pay the signing on fee to him at the end of the season to secure him if he works out well at palace

 

[ali jenkins]

I think Palace paid £1m for the loan deal.

Blackpool will get a max of about £2 million for him as he is under 24.
