Misses DevonGive Law a run at Wing-back. There is potential there if given a decent run.
Is Purrington being released because of wages or because he is not of he required standard?

If he is not up to standard why would we want to sign him. We finish above Charlton ! Anyway he,s from across the the the river in Cornwall so why would he miss Devon.Misses Devon

Re Purrington: the answer is a bit of both; Charlton offered a new contract so they clearly thought he was the required standard, but not sufficiently to meet Ben's demands.Give Law a run at Wing-back. There is potential there if given a decent run.

I agree Law deserves his chance now that Grant is out injured its a great opportunity for himGive Law a run at Wing-back. There is potential there if given a decent run.

Charlton may (or may not!) have a bigger budget than Argyle but that doesn't mean that every offer they make to every player will be bigger than an Argyle offer. Charlton MIGHT have only seen Purrington as a squad/back-up player whereas Argyle MIGHT see him as a a key missing piece of the jigsaw and, accordingly, offer him relatively better terms. For us he might be a relatively big piece of a small overall budget whereas for Charlton he might have been a relatively small piece of a bigger overall budget.Re Purrington: the answer is a bit of both; Charlton offered a new contract so they clearly thought he was the required standard, but not sufficiently to meet Ben's demands.
I would have thought that Charlton would have a bigger budget than Argyle. Hence, if they won't pay what he wants then I doubt that we could.
Having said that, personal circumstances may dictate a return to the southwest is worth a drop in salary.
But how often does a player return to make a real impact? Inevitably there are exceptions.
Has Exeter moved ?
I liked Ben when he was here, but I don’t really see him adding anything new to the squad other than depth to be honest.
He played 23 games last season, scored two goals and had one assist.
Ryan Law played 22 games last season, scored 2 goals and had one assist.
But other than that - Purrington and Law are statistically similar players, so I don’t think we need Purrington. I’d be happy for Ryan Law to get the opportunity this season.
Thanks for editing your posts after a reply .Very convenient that you discount his 7 goals last season and according to transfrmarkt he had 6 assists last season which makes 13 goal involvements which isn't a bad contribution from a left wing back over 38 games.I think my point was he isn’t suited for the role. Thats means l think there is better out there. Eg like you said …not perfect …but we just have to disagree as how someone has done well and only got four assists (last season) l am at a complete loss. Now your just arguing the facts, not me tbh.
Lets remember the season before, where he did get 10 assists he was part of the defence that conceded 80 goals.
I don’t want to see Purrington back simply because once a player has moved on for me that’s it. Time has been served. The same as any other ex player that keeps getting mentioned like Carey for example. It’s the past. Time for new heroes in a green shirt.
Is this honestly your method of determining the quality of wing backs?
Presumably both are statistically better than Aaron Wan Bissaka who had 0 goals and 0 assists this season.
But when you say "statistically similar", you do mean those couple of goals and assists?Nope.
Not once in my post do I even mention the word ‘quality’ - I even state towards the end, and you’ve even highlighted it yourself, that I believe that they are statistically similar.
My underlying point is that I’d prefer Ryan Law to be given the opportunity. He needs this season to develop, and I really hope he does.
Also, anyone is better than Aaron Wan Bissaka.
My memory is that Rotherham offered £300000 and (imho) we would have been absolutely barking to turn them away.Buy out clause?
