‘‘Realistically, with the choice he (Adam) might have in the summer, our heads might be turned by a huge offer which is so ridiculous we’d have to accept it,’’ said Holloway.
‘‘But until then, you can’t get what you want – you have to work towards getting it.
‘‘Every day that comes closer to the end of the season, Charlie’s contract is ticking, so it’s all quite simple for me.
Everything else is an absolute load of baloney.’’
In terms of bringing players in during the transfer window, Blackpool have missed out on Barnsley winger Adam Hammill, who opted to join Wolves, and it seems talks with Peterborough about their midfielder George Boyd and striker Craig Mackail-Smith have hit a stumbling block.
‘‘We were only offered £3.5m for Charlie Adam. Peterborough want that for two lads who were in a team that got relegated from the Championship,’’ said Holloway, quoted in the Blackpool Gazette.
‘‘I don’t mean that as an insult at all but I’m saying let’s have a look at reality.
‘‘They know we’re a Premier League side but they don’t know where my chairman (Karl Oyston) is.
“He likes to do good deals and are those players worth £2m each?
‘‘Maybe they are, but who will buy them for that sort of price and what does that make Charlie worth?
‘‘This is why it is so hard to quantify anything you own.
Your house is only worth what someone will pay for it, not what an estate agent tells you.’’
