    Yeah have a pal in and around first team/23s
    So is it just them 2 you have heard about or anything else being discussed,??
    Just those 2, also been told that Adkins is a big fan of deji and could potentially be our 4th CB
    Been saying this a few times, think he looks more than up to it. Strengthen elsewhere first - CB last signing if needed and have budget.
    Big gamble if Inniss is out of a while (not unlikely) and Deji has a few bad games - would put huge pressure on him to turn it around.

    If we sign a CB then Deji can develop without pressure by getting a few cup games and eased in more gently into league games.

    It would be a bit different if he was a young winger who could make appearances off the bench.
    Are we forgetting Pearce? It would allow one of Famewo and Gunter to play RCB, though we know they can do that, they don't do it very assuredly.

    No, didn't forget him, 4 senior CBs is a must for me. As you say playing Famewo or Gunter there isn't ieal.

    If this is true then honestly cant see Edwards signing for us
    Think the clue is in the ‘if this is true’

    Yeah I never want to see Gunter play centre back for us again.

    That's good as we are in league 3.....

    I'd be amazed if we signed Edwards. Signing a 23 year old that was playing premier league football last season? That'd surely be the best League 1 transfer this window.

    Don't know much about Gomes, why did he only play 9 games for Doncaster and why did they release him?

    I like the sound of Deji getting first team games and would be happy if we signed a CB to rotate with Inniss and Famewo and had Deji and Pearce as backup.

    Place your bets lads.  Who is going to be the genius that links us to Jamie Hanson tomorrow because we are "after Oxford's right back".

    Maybe the idea is to get as close to 30 games out of Inniss as possible & split the remaining games between Gunter and Elerewe.

    Barker could fill in right back duties alongside Gunter-Famewo if Inniss & Matthews were out at the same time.

    Well, we must be looking at better players if we aren't going to sign players of his quality.

    Hang on, so Edwards is training with us?
    And we’re also interested in two cardiff players??

    Just those Gomes more then likely thoigh, also been told that Adkins is a big fan of deji and could potentially be our 4th CB
    He’s a good talent but with Inniss injury record that would make me very nervous if he had to play 20+ games this season.
    You gotta start somewhere and if he's good enough then he will get his chance. Gotta give these youngsters a go to see how much they want it.

    No worries about a lack of height in the team this year! Is NAs tactics all about overpowering the opposition?
    Hopefully, no players crying in the dressing room this season.

    Whoever Kyle is...hang your head in shame.
    Any truth in a rumour of a new forward from abroad,

    Why?  If we signed him a lot of people would point out he had a good 3 months at Posh and before that is was league 2 goals.

    Really pleased we haven't signed him. For the money and wages, we'll over rated on here.  If MK Dons have spent the Fraser money on him, more fool them.  I would rather have Josh Maginnis

    Agree that using Deji as 4th choice centre back is risky. Maybe he’s good enough. Maybe he’s had the same pre season purple patch that Barker had this time last year. The point is, he shouldn’t be under the pressure of 30 games as a starter if Innis gets crocked.
    All this talk of seeing if there’s any money left in the budget for a defender is foolish. We neglected the CB strength last season and paid for it. 
    100% agree but Deji isn't the only center back below the first team.  If we play 3 at the back, as Adkins did once, you could probably carry him or another likley lad.

    Dobson can play center half, so can Gunter although I seriously wouldn't want either in a 2 nor 2 of them in a 3.  

    I still think we will sign another rcb and I think it will be more than a back up in terms of quality.

    Well we already have the best 2 CBs in the league :)

    But these ones have substance!!!
  • Plymouth have turned down an other from fellow league one side Charlton Athletic for young striker Luke Jephcott fee believed to be 600,000 . Jephcott recently signed a new deal with the club

    Was sent this by my nephew who lives near Plymouth it is a week old now …. 
    If we get Jephcott, that would be an unbelievable signing. I’ve got like another 3 pages to catch up on so if people have commented that I haven’t catched up on then apologise in advance… but seeing this put a massive smile on my face 😄😂
