NORWICH City could be about to make a fresh move for Kaspars Gorkss in a bid to hijack QPR's attempts to sign the Seasiders centre back.
The Gorkss-QPR switch is still in no-man's land.
QPR were convinced they had got their man, even offering striker Daniel Nardiello as a goodwill gesture on top of the £250,000 required to spark a get-out clause in Gorkss' contract.
But Karl Oyston, angry at how Rangers have gone about trying to complete the transfer, is refusing to sanction the move.
There are even reports that the chairman has ordered Gorkss back to Blackpool to join in pre-season training.
That is unlikely to happen because Gorkss appears to have made up his mind to leave the club.
And his first choice remains QPR, where the new super rich club of British football are understood to be offering him eye-watering wages.
However, the lack of progress on a deal has been noted by other Championship clubs and Norwich boss Glenn Roeder is understood to be one manager tempted to wade into the Gorkss scrap and make a bid.
Roeder currently has only Jason Shackell - subject of a £1m bid from Wolves - and Gary Doherty as senior recognised centre halves in his revamped squad.
