If I said I didn't have a little tear in my eye I'd be lying...

Fan-bleddy-tastic :scarf:

Welcome back GC10, best news of the summer and all the best for your impending arrival.

Now, to the rest of you...

To the mercenary Janner attitudes amongst our number who early doors wrote off the chances of this happening because you judged him on your own standards...he'll take the money, he'll get out of Plymouth, that's what I'd do. He didn't, he didn't and he isn't you. I explained why there were other things for him to consider and was pooh poohed. So many of you dismissed the possibility of this happening because someone else was bound to offer more money and none those considered Plymouth is actually a fantastic place to live and his professional life is better served under DA. You were wrong.

To those who questioned his professionalism and integrity because he maintained a dignified silence throughout, where was the criticism of Gary Sawyer yesterday who did the exact same thing... waited 'til he came back for training and signed when he did. You too were wrong.

To those, like me, who could see the benefit of staying to him and could see that the longer this went on was MORE encouraging not less encouraging, you were right.

This is a victory for patience, a victory for keeping your head not losing your head.

It is done, the man is back, and whilst it is unlikely to be disclosed it's probably for at least two years. Let us rejoice primarily but let lessons be learned by those who doubt Argyle, those with week knees, those who project the mercenary tendencies in their own lives onto others.

Get in :scarf:

I was going to post the "I told you so" but knew you would be preparing a response and would revel in it much more than I!!

Massive sign of intent, immediately with that one signing, I starting to believe we won't be making up the numbers, but could have a real go. Playoffs would be my target. August can't come soon enough.

Given Argyles track record historically of losing key players I'm not surprised many thought he would go.

 

[Devonport Ender]

Fantastic and very unexpected news!!!!! Thank you GC10!

Onwards and undoubtedly upwards!!

Green Army!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I was certain he'd be off, at 28 this will be his last good contract. I guess Argyle must have made him a good offer and he must enjoy being at Argyle and working for DA.

It will be very tough this season but with GC in our midfield we have one of the best players in the league again :scarf: :scarf: :scarf: :nworthy:

 

[Steve Evans]

could all the miseries who constantly post about argyles lack of ambition(you know who you are) step forward please. :lol:

 

[Adam R]

I assume it is at least two years to get him to sign.

The financial package must be competitive (a good sign)

Would assume there is a release clause (or two) in there as well but what the hell, the man is back in green at least until January!!!!!!

 

[dunlop]

I thought he was off, well done DA and the board seems like the best signing of the summer.

They should all be subjected to a three day workshop with GA1984 to help them channel their positive vibes!

The biggest thing for me is that he would of had bigger and better contacts put on the table. Clubs closer to his home, closer to his family, clubs that could offer him.the additional benefits that we cant.

But he has chosen to stay here.

Im sure that there will be an interview soon but I fully expect Derek Adams to be an absolutely massive reason behind him staying.

Well played Derek, roll on the season.

 

[The Duke]

I thought he would sign up until yesterday at which point I thought he was gone. Amazing news, credit to all concerned and that's the GA too!

 

[llcoolgee]

GTFI!

Moral of the story, always listen to JH

Maybe they spent a few nights out in Glasgow, DA got some photos of him in Truffles so has used them as blackmail.

There is no evidence to support this comment!!
