** Update: Will Buckley moves to Sunderland confirmed, three-year deal **

[The_Viper]

Crikey I'm starting to feel a little envious of Blackpools squad depth at this rate

 

[AlastairWatts]

No chance that he'd take Sami and Nathan instead is there?

 

[Deadly Danson]

Buckley is the only player we have left who is capable of completely changing a game and "winning it on his own" - granted it doesn't happen often enough, but given excitement levels in our games are very low as it is, without the possibility of Buckley taking someone apart would make excitement non-existent

I'm not saying we should sell but when did this last happen?

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Bring yer boots Tuesday.

 

[Ernest]

And we laugh at other clubs ? We can kiss goodbye to amy entertainment or excitement again this season

 

[nwgull]

I don't hamstrings are nearly as serious injury problem as some people think. Messi and Michael Owen had the same problem.

They seem to be serious enough to prevent Buckley from playing more than 3-4 consecutive games before needing a 3-4 week break.

I would take the money on his last 12 months showing. Buy Jed Wallace of Portsmouth and bring on March

That's putting a lot of trust in players unproven at this level. Jed Wallace always gets touted on NSC during the transfer windows because he's a local lad but is he actually any good?

 

[The Wizard]

Some of you really need to get a grip it's just a rumour, people look for any excuse to do some bedwetting

Buckley for 2.5M - Assombalonga(sp?) for 5.5M, just NO. We need to keep players like him here and I trust for that sort of pathetic value Bloom wouldn't well.

 

[GoingUp]

I bet Buckley will probably do well at his next club.

Bolton away last season...

 

[Mackenzie]

You can only hope that we are waiting for the PL clubs to announce their 25 man squads with our lack of signings. Ideally you buy other teams best players, not sell all your own!

An in form Buckley is a joy to watch. I'd miss him.

Will the last player left in the dressing rooms please turn the light out.......................

Latest rumour " Brighton and Blackpool to merge in order to see if between them they have enough decent players to field one side "

 

[HantsSeagull]

i read (on here - so probably bollocks) that after we refused to sell Buckley in the last window, he had some release price put into his contract - seem to remember this was £2.5m

 

[nwgull]

Bolton away last season...

He was brilliant that day, but that was it in a season of over 50 competitive games. Conway had more impact in his short loan spell; I'd rather we had a player like him that we could rely on to player over 80% of the time.

 

[clippedgull]

Buckley out, Bennett in?

Wages would no doubt be an issue.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

What are you all worrying about, Burke has six more Chelsea teenagers lined up

Conway looked mighty slow the other night.

Exactly.

 

[nwgull]

Conway looked mighty slow the other night.

Must've done something right; he won man of the match!

 

[Marshy]

Buckley and CMS will go before this window shuts in my opinion. We are going to have a huge war chest, let's hope players come, we are going to need 6 when these 2 go
