Blackpool to make bid for Crawley striker?

Last updated : 20 January 2012 By westfield shrimper

All that creepies dosh, but Tyrone may be off to the Championship!

According to local Crawley paper the Observer League Two promotion rivals Crawley Town may have to fight off a bid for second tier club Blackpool who are just three points off the play-off pace for an immediate return to the Premier League.

Barnett signed from Macclesfield in the summer for £150,000.

Fellow Championship club Crystal Palace were also reported to have made an offer, but were told to go away and not bother again unless they were offering a million!

Are the Lancashire seasiders up to that?

Creepies boss Steve Evans has said this week, and he says a lot, that strikers Tubbs & Barnett, winger Sergio Torres, midfielder Pablo Mills, and defender Kyle McFadzean, have all attracted interest from higher division clubs since the January transfer window opened.

No wonder Crawley were after Bilel!
