Zappa 0 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Blackpool haven't officially announced him having signed yet AFAIK, but both Broadfoot and Edu's registrations with us were cancelled before the transfer window closed, so yes he has indeed left. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Signed for Blackpool now: 5 September 2012 Last updated at 09:37 Blackpool sign former Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot Blackpool have signed former Scotland defender Kirk Broadfoot, who was a free agent after leaving Rangers last week. The 28-year-old had agreed to stay with the Gers following their liquidation and their subsequent demotion to the Scottish Third Division. Broadfoot will stay at Bloomfield Road until the end of the season. "It's a new chapter to my career and one I'm looking forward to. Something I've always wanted to do is play down south," he told BBC Radio Lancashire. "It's a sad day [to leave Rangers] because it was always a dream to play with them. "I almost signed here a couple of seasons ago and I stayed with Rangers at that time, but speaking to the manager (Ian Holloway) I was blown away by him and the way Blackpool play. "I've watched them a few times since then and my friend, Charlie Adam, played here. People couldn't speak highly enough of the club. "Blackpool has got something special about it. It seems to have this aura about it. Everyone seems to enjoy themselves here." Broadfoot had made five appearances for Ally McCoist's side this season. The versatile player joined Rangers from St Mirren in 2007 and played an important part in their run to the Uefa Cup final the following year. He remained a regular starter until a series of injuries, which started in 2009, curtailed his involvement under manager Walter Smith and successor McCoist. Broadfoot's four senior international caps all came in 2008, and he hopes the move could see him return to Craig Levein's squad. "I've been a little unlucky with injuries," he added. "If I'd stayed at Rangers in the Third Division, I don't think it would have been likely that I'd have got into the Scotland squad. "Hopefully I can come down here, play a few games and get back into that Scotland setup." Blackpool have made an impressive start to the Championship season and remain top of the division, although their 100% start to the campaign was ended with a 1-0 defeat at Leicester on Saturday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19464964 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Good luck to him but I don't think he'll be missed. A better defender than Whittaker but woeful going forward, which is an essential part of the modern game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,356 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think that we could do with him as a squad player given the lack of defensive cover. I have heard that it was for non-footballing reasons as to why he left. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I have heard that it was for non-footballing reasons as to why he left. Was he not involved in another assault case being heard in court recently or something? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
