Swans Linked With Parker Move |
|
Parker has never failed to impress against the Swans and was on target as Blackpool won the final league game of last season 6-3 at the Liberty Stadium. He had been equally as impressive in the 1-1 draw at Bloomfield Road before Christmas but seems to have fallen out of favour with the management there. Parker also played with current Swans assistant manager Graeme Jones when they were both at St Johnstone so there seems a natural link. From a personal point of view I think Parker is a great talent and one I would love to see at the Liberty Stadium The report in the Blackpool Gazette reads “SWANSEA City are being linked with a swoop for Seasiders’ striker Keigan Parker as Friday’s transfer deadline looms.
With just three days to go until the close of the window, Blackpool boss Simon Grayson has some tough decisions to make as he attempts to shape a squad capable of surviving and challenging in the Championship. His main decision is whether or not to keep Parker. The striker is undoubtedly unhappy after starting the last two matches on the bench. At least two League One clubs have inquired about his availability with under-pressure Colin Calderwood at Nottingham Forest also keeping tabs on the situation. But it’s Swansea who seem to be showing the firmest interest in the 25-year-old Scot, who arrived at Bloomfield Road in summer 2004 when Colin Hendry took over as Pool boss. The Welsh side are believed to be on the verge of making a big money bid which could tempt the Seasiders, who know that Parker could walk away for nothing when his contract ends in the summer. However, Grayson is unlikely to sell without having a replacement lined up.” What are your thoughts? Share your views on the Message Board |
