Nothing or a young premiership player on loan who no one has heard of who has never played a professional game.

Robiniho is also at the San Siro in talkes with AC.

I can't see many people who are dying to play for Blackpool! :) But I know what context you say that in. Blackpool have no money and are hoping for a diamond in the rough really. One decent season in the Premier League and you will get a move to another Premier Legaue club when Blackpool are relegated this year. Even if he is shit he will get a move to a championship or L1 club after purely based on the fact he played in the Premier League.
