Holloway closes in on signings

Seasiders manager optimistic over potential transfers

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway is confident of making new signings ahead of his side's debut Premier League campaign.

The Pool manager, who took charge at Bloomfield Road last year, is yet to make an addition to his squad following their promotion to the top flight at the end of last season.

But speaking after a meeting to discuss transfer targets with the club's chairman, Holloway revealed he has made several fresh bids as he looks to bolster his resources.

Optimistic

"I'm very optimistic that some of these things now, the bait that we're throwing in the water, might get a bite," Holloway told the club's official website.

"After that meeting we've offered two things that people actually asked for, in the way that they asked for it, so for me that's close to completion.

"We've now got the problem of dealing with the players and their contracts.

"We're getting closer and closer to some of the names that I want.

"I'm trying to get quality and I'm being supported totally and utterly all the way through."
