Andy Reid and James Beattie captured by Blackpool

Blackpool have signed midfielder Andy Reid from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee, while also taking striker James Beattie on loan from Rangers. But they managed to keep hold of captain Charlie Adam despite a last-ditch bid from Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said a deal was agreed but the paperwork was not completed before the deadline. Blackpool had previously rejected a £6.5m offer from Liverpool for the 25-year-old Scotland international. Redknapp told talkSPORT: "Daniel [Levy] rang me late on and asked if I like Charlie Adam. I said 'yes, he's a fantastic footballer'. He said do you want him, I said 'can we get him? We pushed on and tried to do it, Daniel was confident he could get it through. It went to the wire but we missed out by minutes.' The Tangerines have also taken Zenit St Petersburg striker Sergei Kornilenko, 27, on loan for the rest of the season. Kornilenko, a Belarus international, has recently had loan spells with Tom Tomsk and Rubin Kazan and will add to manager Ian Holloway's strike options. .... BBC Sport
