Hoolahan hopes fading fast?

Transfer speculation re Blackpool's Wes Hoolahan has intensified and it looks like there is genuine interest from a number of Championship clubs e.g. Southampton and Plymouth. Our Modus Operandi in the transfer market under Peter Varney has been to tie the deal up in the background and close it quickly before drawing too much attention to ourselves. On the occasions that media speculation has come early and other clubs have entered the fray, our inclination has been to back out rather than get into an auction and pay more than we had originally intended or that we belive the player may actually be worth.

It will be interesting to see how Steve Waggoot handles this, if we are actually pursuing him, but my suspicion is we might pass rather than be forced to pay over the odds.
