Blackpool linked with failed bid for Sheff Wed hit-man Tudgay

Sheffield Wednesday boss Alan Irvine has rejected a bid for striker Marcus Tudgay, with Blackpool and Burnley believed to be interested. Irvine, is adamant, despite the club's dire financial position, that the 27-year-old will not be sold on the cheap.

Talking to the Sheffield Star, he said: "A club did show an interest (in Tudgay). They were well short of anything that would tempt us.

"I think everyone is looking at the Lee Grant situation and thinking that Wednesday are a selling club now. We're not.

"We're not in a position where we have to sell. It was a Premier League club who made an enquiry (about Tudgay) but they didn't make a Premier League club's offer."
