Blackpool boss Ian Holloway was delighted to have secured the services of Aston Villa midfielder Barry Bannan on a two-month loan.

The 19-year-old has made just two first-team appearances for Villa and ended last season out on loan at Derby County.

Holloway told the Blackpool Gazette: "I've been watching him for a while and I am thrilled to get him."

Meanwhile, Holloway has admitted that he is not at all surprised that a couple of Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on Seasiders midfielder Charlie Adam.

He added: "I'd be very disappointed if the Premier League clubs weren't watching him. He has been outstanding.

"We were lucky to get him and I thought Rangers were wrong to sell."
