Blackpool Up The Stakes For Cleverley

With Blackpool having upping the stakes to sign Tom Cleverley on loan . Chris Hughton knows he is now NOT in the driving seat to sign the Man United starlet. Chris Hughton: “Most definitely everything printed on this is very much paper talk.” If it was a permanent deal the odds would obviously be in Newcastle's favour, but this is a one year loan deal, and Blackpool could offer the kid a lot the Toon cannot. For starters, the player would not have to uproot, as he lives not that far from the Golden Mile . and Blackpool would draft him straight into the first team . and that will not happen at St James' Park. So, after three months of talks, Hughton is still no nearer getting his man.
