Premier League Round-Up: Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool
Birmingham City
Birmingham City’s acting Chairman Peter Pannu is optimistic that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Larsson-c32733 will sign a new contract with the club. Larsson’s current contract runs out this summer and the player has rejected all previous deals offered to
him by the City management.
Larsson was linked with a move to Newcastle United and Aston Villa in the January transfer window, but personal terms couldn’t be agreed with either of the clubs. City have the risk of losing Larsson as a free agent in the summer
but the management is hopeful of convincing the winger to sign a new contract with the club.
"Regarding Seb, although his agent had failed to reach any agreement with Newcastle and Villa, their loss may be our gain. Hopefully closer to the (summer) window, we can sit down with Seb again and, with the market tested by his
agent, we can come to a sensible agreement finally," stated the acting Chairman.
Blackburn Rovers
Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Grant-Hanley-c15207 has received his first international call-up from the Scottish National side. The player has been included in the squad that will participate in the Carling Nations Cup and Hanley will
play against Northern Island in the opener.
Scotland boss Craig Levein hailed the player’s recent form and expects Hanley to become a true great for the National side. The manager looked forward to having him in the National camp and was optimistic of his impact for the
Blues.

team coach.
Blackpool
Blackpool Chairman Karl Oyston believes that making Charlie Adam stay at the club has boosted their chances of staying the top flight of English football. Adam has become hot property this season, with various high profile clubs
wanting the signature of the 25-year-old. So much so that Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson rated the midfielder to be worth at least 10 million pounds.
Adam handed in a transfer request following interest and bids from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and was on the verge of signing with Tottenham Hotspur at the last moments of the transfer window. However, with the player staying for at least six months,
the chairman was delighted to have Adam and claimed that his services would be necessary to keep Blackpool in the top flight. Oyston vowed to give the club, the fans, the town and the manager the best of resources to survive the Premier League this season.
The Chairman added that there should not be any ifs or buts at the end of the season should they be relegated and wants to give his all to help Blackpool achieve their cause.
