That being said, 3 year deal for a 32 year old is barmy. 

True imo,you usually offer those to younger players with potential. Two year deals seem the norm for older players in League One and Two

    They wouldn't of got rid of Smith if they didn't think they could bring in better,they will have a list of targets I am sure,maybe we offered 2 years and Blackpool have given 3

    Some long deals being handed out 4 years to Horsfall and 3 now to Ihiekwe

    Think we'll pull a rabbit out of the hat.

    There's no way you'd of expected Horsfall to jump ship , all about the contract length and terms.

    For me Ihiekwe wasn't worth 3 years, he's taken an offer giving him security and who can blame the guy. 

    We'll definitely have targets and I've no doubt we were in for him. Huddersfield were also rumoured, maybe he was just a touch out of our reach.

    I know he was rumoured to be signing for Bradford but has Matty Pearson signed anywhere yet?

    No . Bradford fans rather confused why they've had Tilt and not Pearson. 

    That's not to say they won't get both.

    3 years is too much for a 32 yr old on big wages.

    Anyway let's hope it's not like the final summer of flitcroft and that we constantly aim too high and miss out on good players instead.

    Yep. It would be foolish in the extreme to offer a 33 year old a 3 year contract. Potentially saddled with someone who could be past it in a year or so. It's very short term thinking from Blackpool...good luck to them but it's not a transfer policy I'd want us to follow.

    Well so far Bradford have taken a gamble imo on 31yr old Max Power who has played around 20 games abroad over 2yrs and a 33yr old League 2 CB

    interesting
