Georgie Kelly (signs for Rotherham)
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
I’ve just seen a few YouTube interviews with Georgie Kelly and he comes over as a very balanced and articulate person with a very bright future in football. He turned down pro contracts to complete his studies (a Degree in Commerce and a Masters in Finance) so he has his head screwed on. He has managed his footballing development, gained good experience playing against some good European teams and is the perfect fit with Argyle. I just hope all of the rumours noted above are true and he is on his way.

Unlikely to be announced Tuesday when we have an away game. Most of our signings are announced on Thursdays.
I saw the YouTube video and most of the goals he was wearing the number 12 shirt. Might be an omen?

We had 18 shots against Lincoln and plenty of crosses from the wings as well as quite a few corners, don't think supply will be an issue personally, with a big man in the middle we may even get the earlier cross in rather than pass it around as much as we do currently.

The Lincoln Matchday Moments shows just how many crosses we put into the box, either low or high, and we did score from one cross or some might call it a cut back.
I think Kelly will do really well in our playing system.

What I do like about Kelly (should we sign him) is that he doesn't seem a conventional target man who's just good in the air, he seems quite quick too and has a nice first touch in the box that sets up quite a lot of his strikes that he's scored goals from.
The striker I have been most impressed by this season from opposition is the Sheff wed lad, Lee Gregory ,https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Gregory_(footballer) who I don’t think played against us in the two 3-0 wins. In their 4-2 win, he held every ball up, out muscled our defenders and always linked up the play to get Wednesday up the pitch . He wasn’t really tall but he had a presence and I think he is the type of player we need. If Kelly is indeed joining he looks like this sort of player, we need more presence on the pitch and he seems to have it.
Just looked at his profile and it seems he was a non league later developer only moving to Millwall from Halifax in 2014 when he was 25.

No news yet on Georgie.... and I’m hoping he will sign. I think this could be one occasion when our location could help- with Kelly about to complete his environmental management MSc: plenty of environment around the SW peninsula.
Elsewhere I’ve noticed that Wimbledon have sold Ollie Palmer to Wrexham for £300k ( I wonder what Wrexham are going to do if and when they gerbil promotion- and will then have to squeeze their playing budgets within the EFL2 caps- they might find out that winning promotion was the easy bit) and are also reportedly on the look out for a new centre forward.
I’m very pleased that the club is now seeming to target non- league talent ( Alfie Lewis) this plus the Dan Scarr signing is a return to form , as far as I’m concerned.
Elsewhere still no news on prodigious non- league striker Kyle Wootton ( or team mate Ruben Rodrigues- who I believe are both out of contract this summer) I am thinking this might change, before deadline day

Really hoping this happens. He's tall, strong, pacey, an eye for a goal. What's not to like?
Many players have come over from Ireland and been very successful including the liked of Seamus Coleman, Shane Long and Kevin Doyle at the top level. Lower down the likes of Padraig Amond, Seamus Connelly and Ritchie Towell have done well. Think it's a good league to be scouting.

sorry to drag up historic Argyle, but Mike Bickle was a milkman playing in the south western League before signing as a striker for Argyle. He proved to be a big success. I accept such signatures are a lottery, but why not this guy. Give him a chance if he is keen to swap the green grass of Ireland for the green of Argyle's shirt
He could have just said “I don’t comment on transfer speculation” like Sturrock used to say back in the day. Surely a more advisable way to handle the question ?
