STEVE Kabba today gave Blackpool FC a major boost when he revealed he is seriously considering signing for the club in January.
With Kabba unwanted at Watford, the Seasiders will have an opportunity to buy the striker when his loan deal runs out.
Kabba says he wouldn't be against that, and dismissed the theory that his wages would be too high for the club to afford.
The frontman told The Gazette: "Have I ruled out coming to Blackpool? No, not at all.
"People can talk about wages but it's the club's second season in the Championship and their wage structure is getting bigger and higher as the years go on.
"Every year they stay in the Championship that will happen and I think they will stay in the league this year.

"This move here was a big thing for me and I know that if I do a good job at Bloomfield Road, clubs might come in for me in January and Blackpool might want to sign me as well.
"Hopefully I will have a few offers and then the decision will be down for me, but I have definitely not ruled out Blackpool I'm really enjoying it here and it's terrific to be playing regular football again."
Simon Grayson saved Kabba from 18 months in the football wilderness when he signed him during the summer.
Given his lack of goals and games over the last two years, the 27-year-old was a bit of an unknown quantity, and the fans - and probably Grayson - didn't know what to expect.
But Kabba has quickly proved he is a class striker and can do a job in the Championship.
He's hit two goals in his first seven games but admits he needed to perform and produce the goods.
"I saw it as a crossroads, a bit of a last chance when I came to Blackpool," he added.
"There weren't many people banging down my door asking me to play for them. It had been like that over the last year.
"I wasn't playing at Watford and when you are not playing people forget you.
"It is the last year of my contract as well and I have a family to feed so I want to stay in the game and stay at this level and beyond - so it was a bit of a last chance and I knew I had to take it.
"If I didn't perform then I knew I'd be in trouble so I've got my head down.
"I've always been a hard worker and with luck on my side I'll show everyone what I can do and people will know I am out there again and not finished as a footballer."
