Holloway tells Adam suitors to get serious

BLACKPOOL manager Ian Holloway has nothing but praise for Charlie Adam as top clubs continue to court the former Rangers midfielder.

Holloway confirmed after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat by Sunderland that the Tangerines had rejected three bids for his services from Aston Villa, Birmingham and Liverpool.

It would be enough to turn many a player’s head but Adam remained influential and scored a late consolation goal from the penalty spot after Nedum Onuoha had nudged David Vaughan.
