Very interesting. Hopefully Blackman will be available for tomorrow along with Clarke to give us a boost
Blackpool FC can confirm the signings of Andre Blackman and Formose Mendy on free transfers.
Blackman, 23, has been on trial at Bloomfield Road in recent weeks, and has signed a deal until the end of the season, with the option of a further 12 months.
The winger came through the youth system at both Arsenal and Tottenham, and has since played for the likes of AFC Wimbledon and Celtic.
On signing, Blackman said: "I have to work hard now and show the manager I'm ready to play a part at Blackpool.
"I've been lucky to have had a good schooling of football from when I was young, so I'd like to bring that here.”
Midfielder Mendy played for the likes of Puertollano and Sporting Gijon in Spain, and has one international cap for Guinea-Bissau.
The 25-year-old has also agreed a deal until the end of the season, with an option of a further year.
The pair's transfers are both subject to Football League clearance, while Mendy's move is also subject to international clearance. | |

It's the Guinea-Bissau midfielder.
I'd spent all weekend thinking it was Arnaud Mendy - phew!!
Edit to add : I believe another midfield player from Europe may come in on loan. [Post edited 29 Sep 2014 17:49]

Unproven and unambitious move from the club and done on the cheap, as usual.
Nothing to see here. |  | | |

Not sure Founts. I was assuming it was a loan, but could be wrong. | |

Chesterbfc - surely if he didn't want these players he won't play them? Can't help feeling that's what's happened to the likes of Barks, Grant etc - not his and doesn't fancy them? | |

Why have we not just got 2 Prem bodies in on loan for two games rather than again get players who might not be available until after the next two crucial games? Don't get it!! | |

Given the past form of the new club secretary I'm wondering how long it will be before either are able to play  |  | | |

This is dreadful. Two, players with no pedigree or track record at all. Typical. Blackpool. Stand by the the 'give them a chance' threads | | | |

Come on, I like to give players a chance but we are in a real mess at the moment and need 4 or 5 high quality loans from PL clubs. What do we get? a player who last season played for and couldn't get a deal at Plymouth, Dover and Maidenhead and another who comes from 2 leagues below La Liga??
It is utterly depressing and very very wrong. |  | | |

They aren't loans, they are out of contract players signed on one year deals with the usual 1 year option. We could be in a situation come June when we actually have no players whatsoever! | | | |

Where are the CB, right back, right winger and most important the scoring striker we need. 2 or 3 good quality and experienced loans needed | | | |

Chester,
I'm pretty sure Riga has been banging down Karl's door demanding he sign a 23 year old with almost no football league experience. |  |

I do wonder if Riga is trying to prove a point with these signings? Cheap, no ambition, unknowns, unlikely to change our fortunes and will be questioned by fans?
Is Riga playing a clever game or does he genuinely believe these players will make a difference? | |

Very rare that loans are ever good quality and experienced sadly. | |

Satw Well you seem to be more in the "know" than me, I,m just a umble supporter so I will say probably not, but then I don't know and you do. | | | |

Chester,
I know as little as you mate.
But my choices are simple.
I can either believe that a manager wants this player because he thinks a 23 year old free agent with virtually no league experience is perfect for a club at the bottom of the championship or I can believe that the manager is faced with very little choice BUT to take him on as its him or nothing.
Which of the 2 sounds more believable? | |

I have a feeling Blackman might be another Noel Blake recommendation from Englands youth set up. |  |

Satw If I was a man of principles which you obviously think Jose is,then I would have publicly come out and spoken about my inability to manage the club for the fans that I love, Jose,s words ,not mine. But in the words of a well known 60,s song Silence is Golden. I don't believe that is going to happen. Therefore Jose could well be the yes man you don't want him to be | | | |
