The 27-year-old Belarus international became the fourth transfer deadline day signing at Bloomfield Road when he joined until the end of the season, following Andy Reid, James Beattie and Jason Puncheon. But Ian Holloway will be just as pleased to have made it to the end of the transfer window with captain Adam still on board. Kornilenko, who has recently had loan spells with Tom Tomsk and Rubin Kazan, will add to Holloway's strike options. There will now be strong competition for places up front for the Tangerines, thanks to the arrival of Beattie. The 32-year-old joins on loan until the end of the season from Rangers, where he struggled to make an impact since joining from Stoke due to a series of injuries. His chances of doing so were further diminished by the loan signing of Northern Ireland striker David Healy on Sunday. Blackpool earlier signed midfielder Andy Reid from Premier League rivals Sunderland for an undisclosed fee. The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international has made 70 appearances for the Black Cats since his £4million switch from Charlton in January 2008. However, he became surplus to requirements under Steve Bruce and followed Paulo da Silva and Healy out of the Stadium of Light. "I think he will be perfect for us and it won't take me long to get him going," Holloway said. "He's gone for £12million (in cumulative transfer fees) in the past so that's not a bad take for us I believe." Adam, who was linked with Liverpool and Aston Villa earlier in the transfer window, emerged as a late target for Tottenham, but no deal was reached and the influential midfielder will remain in the north-west. The Seasiders have also agreed a loan deal until the end of the season for 24-year-old Southampton winger Jason Puncheon, although it remains subject to Premier League and Football League clearance.
