    Morning Folks, its just been reported on BBC Radio Lancs that we are allegedly after a young lad at Blackpool (You l have to excuse the name as I had to google it to check it after hearing it on the radio) Anyway the kids name is TOM BARKHUIZEN a striker by all accounts. Lets wait and see what happends with this one, The report said he hadnt yet broken into their first team but is highly regarded.

    Born in Blackpool, Barkhuizen played junior football on the Fylde coast with Blackpool Rangers.[2][3]

    In May 2009 he signed on as a 1st year scholar with Blackpool's youth department. Before that he had been at the Centre of Excellence for four months, and had scored in every game he played at both under-16 and under-17 levels.[4]

    He is currently a second year scholar in the youth team.

    On 24 August 2010, whilst still a second year youth scholar, he made his first team debut in the second round of the 2010–11 League Cup, against Milton Keynes at Stadium MK.[5] Assistant manager Steve Thompson said of Barkhuizen: "Tom has come through the youth set up and I felt he handled himself very well for his debut. He is not the finished article by a long shot but once he gets a little bit of strength I think we've got a decent player there. I thought he did fantastic."[3]

    Maybe the youth team has learnt a lesson from the seniors & is planning for the mid-season injuries <whistle>

    You can have him in exchange for Vaughan. He's a one-trick pony.

    Not highly enough to get into the Blackpool team?

    Sounds like a waste of time..

    He's got a lot to prove. This season will make or break him. Too often tried the same move last season.

    It just goes to show what a load of toss these rumours are. This lad has signed for Hereford on loan!
