lol expect another by the end of the week
Blackpool's new signing Jake Caprice is ready for his latest professional challenge after completing a move to the Championship club.
The 18-year-old was released by Crystal Palace at the end of last season after progressing through the ranks at Selhurst Park.
He has signed a one-year deal, with the option of a further year, and becomes manager Ian Holloway's first signing of the summer at Bloomfield Road.
Holloway pinpointed the teenager's potential when he played in a development squad match against Manchester United last season.
"I'm delighted to be here, my agent spoke to the manager after I trained here last season and played against United," Caprice told the club's official website.
"I grew up at Palace and it was a bit of an uncertain time for me after I left the club in the summer, but I'm just really happy that I've got things sorted and that I've got a new challenge in front of me."

If Ollie, thinks... etc etc
He really is building for the future, as a long time fan, I still have to pinch myself that we are thinking of other than this season ( or till Christmas, in many cases!!)

Got to agree, Ollie seems to want to build the club up which is fine by me... of course some will not be happy till we spend a couple million on a player, sadly for them they are going to have a long wait i predict we will spend 2 million on a player in 2201 so not long for them to wait.

If I win 7 million on the lottery I'll buy us a 2 million dollar player
and if I win 25 million I'll buy us a 20 million player (or 10 x 2 million dollar players, whichever His Ollieness prefers)
