    So
    No actual transfer rumours 
    Just 3 pages of arguing over what level of football Purrington should be playing at.
  • We should count ourselves lucky that TS has been paying our wages on time…
    What a time to be alive  ;)
  • I started the year thinking that we had turned a corner & that I could trust what people (aka Andy Scott) said. 

    I'm afraid to say that another transfer window is passing us by and that everyone in charge at CAFC lies with gay abandon. To this end Andy Scott is no different to Gallen/Sandgaard or Southall.

    All talk and no action.

    Gah.............I'm done  !
    I stopped expecting new faces at the club when Airman said we will only be bringing in loans and free agents. It was obvious the new lot sniffing around have no money.


    Sorry, but why would someone sniffing around provide money for transfers?
  • If I was looking to buy my neighbours house, I wouldn’t pay his mortgage whilst the sale was going through. Apologies for the house buying analogy, but in my defence I was general manager of a building society back in the day.

    We have a decent base at the moment and I don’t want to add players like Purrington to the squad. We have to be aiming higher. More Sess type signings less Purr pls Charlton
    I completely agree that Sess is miles better and I don't want Purrington back either. But he would certainly do a job in League 1.

    Well it’d be daft to doubt Airmans obvious good information but that doesn’t necessarily mean any new owner has no money. We know Sandgaard isn’t looking to spend but he’s the owner. Would we really expect new people to spend money on something they don’t actually and might never own ? Of course not. You’re probably right but as has been said a million times. So many things don’t add up.

    No. Most business is not done late by an organised club, with clearly identified targets, a budget to work with and a strategy 

    We've sadly had none of this since 2018.

    We've also not had our own, proper left back since May!  
    I can't remember the last time we owned a proper, really good left back.  Page was good but always injured.  Possibly as far back as Wiggins, although I have probably forgotten someone.

    Before we signed Purrington in 18/19 we were losing/not winning games because we didn't have a left back.  Once we signed him we had a much more balanced back four.  He got a reputation as a solid 7/10 every game he played. 

    You don't need a world beating 1-11 to do well.  You need an average of about 7.5 in every position with some 9s, hopefully a 10, and no one under a 6.  A Purrington is exactly what we need.  Unless we can find the mext Ashley Cole.

    Exactly this.

    ‘Talks are scheduled to start in the coming coming days between the two parties as a deal for Rak-Sakyi could materialized,’

    Championship promotion-chasers Sheffield United have been placed under a transfer embargo by the English Football League.

    The move relates to a breach of rule 52.2.3, which concerns the default of payments to another club.

    The EFL has not specified which club or player the matter relates to.

    However, the move means the Blades cannot register a player "without the written prior consent of the league" until the overdue payment is made.

    If the above is even remotely correct then football in league one..  Division 3 ffs is absolutely bonkers!
  • Plymouth having two players on 18K a week is mind blowing if true.

    There is no chance that Sam Cosgrove is on nearly a million quid a year.

    Weren't Cosgrove and Mumba on loan from higher levels? (Cosgrove from Birmingham City , Mumba from Norwich) 

    And obviously Dane Scarlett on loan from Spurs to Pompey

    That was my point, however a lot of people seem disappointed we have not signed more players

    Where did you find this list chap,

    Find it really hard to believe Plymouth have two players on 900k a year

    Isn't he on loan from the championship?

    No way will Plymouth be paying 100% of the salaries for Cosgrove and Mumba!

    We're in League One. You need only to look at the high profile transfer sagas at Europe's biggest clubs to know this isn't true. But also, we're not that. We're relying on frees (few in January) and loans, which means we're at the mercy of other clubs.

    Yes, it would be great if all of our business was done by the first week of January. But that's completely unrealistic. We've moved two fringe players on and brought in two players who improve the squad. This is a good window so far. We need more, obviously namely a LB, but when you're relying on other clubs to hand you players, you cannot be demanding about timelines.

    Exactly. Makes the whole list a bit odd.

    You've agreed with me. We are shopping in bargain basement with an owner with no money who has made ongoing mistakes for 2 1/2 seasons now. 

    @Scoham has agreed with me too by saying we have the wrong people and wrong strategies.

    Yes we've improved a woefully inadequate squad with two in and two out. Amazing!

    We STILL don't have a left footed left back nor a left footed central defender. 

    Sess has been injury load managing since the Summer!

    The list just notes their salary, it doesn't mean Plymouth will be paying it in full. I'd be surprised if Plymouth are even paying half their wages.
