Will Carey Stay?

Straight after the Grimsby game Carey went to the dug out to collect his spare shirt and ran to the fans and gave it to a young fan.
The rest of the players did the same later but only when they came back out to celebrate promotion.
Carey's gesture, in his 100th game for Argyle, looked to be planned and was it a goodbye?

More than likely he will leave, but at the moment he won't know whether that is certain or where he might be going. It'll take weeks for his offers to come in. The gestures today were standard for end of season.

If the relationship between Carey and Adams is as good as we are led to believe, if I was Del, I would have a man to man talk to him.
I would ask him to sign a new contract, with terms he is happy with, including a release clause for £350-500k. With the idea of allowing him to leave this window.
It's a win win scenario. Argyle receive at least a bit of a transfer fee, and Carey leaves with our wishes, while also he himself receives a acknowledgement from the buying club that they were willing to pay a transfer fee for someone of his quality. Wolves/Sheff et al can pay a small fee, and that's an immediate show of faith in Carey.
The last thing Carey would want, is to stall his career at an important stage, by sitting on a bench. I'd want guarantees, right from the start.

Why would he tie any club that wants him into paying £350-500k to Argyle when he could move for no transfer fee and get the club to pay that amount, or some proportion of, directly to him as a signing-on fee?

Carey is open to signing a new contract with Argyle.
Very interesting interview.

Good point, I didn't think about that. And the validation he would need. Makes my comment moot.
Fair play, you win this round Doctor. ;-)
One of the reasons I went yesterday was the feeling this might be the last time I'd see Carey in an Argyle shirt. Think we've gotta be realistic and come to terms with the fact that Derek probably needs to start looking for a replacement as he's likely to have some big money offers over the summer.
There's a part of me however, that thinks Carey realises, he is where he is because of Derek Adams and he's the manager who gets the best out of him. There's a speck of hope that loyalty to DA for what he's done for his career (as opposed to some money move that in the end doesn't work out) might just clinch it, but I'm probably grasping at straws there what with the football money merryground. I do also think it's sometimes better to be a big fish in a small pond with a league 1 Argyle rather than a small fish in a big pond in the Championship, where let's face it, he probably spend some time on the bench given the quality there. We'll see.

Would he get the freedom to be "Graham Carey" at a Championship club or would he have to play to a strict team shape, or even be the first name on the team sheet, or even on the team sheet. I don`t see Graham as being content to be a bench warmer.
Is he as good as the left sided players Argyle had when they were a successful Championship Club ?
Halamosi, Sinclair, Noone, Bolasie.
I guess thats the standard.
