Danny Mayor signs!!!
- Thread starter Vic BC Green
- Start date
I remember that Danny Mayor was outstanding when we played Bury at Home Park in February 2015. They beat us 2-0 and were promoted to the Championship.
In 2016/17, they were relegated back to League 1 and I don’t recall Mayor’s performance when we won 3-0 in 2017/8.
Bury had a player called Ismael who played against us for Walsall on loan the previous week and caused our defence problems. By the following week, he had returned to Bury and was injured in the first half when he collided with a goal post in trying to convert a cross. Ismael was replaced by Ryan Lowe who, as we know, was sent off for a challenge on Remi Matthews.

I’ll be delighted if we can bring in Danny Mayor. He’s a really genuinely good footballer and will be crucial to the style of football Lowe wants to bring to HP.
I read about other clubs signing big name players like James Vaughan at Bradford but with Mayor we will be signing proven ability of a player in his prime that has most importantly delivered recently and at L2 level. He is one of the top players in his position in L2, why wouldn’t we be over the moon to sign him when we’ve lost good players to bigger clubs recently?
Some comments from Bury fans on their forum -
"You can expect the best player in League 2. A joy to watch and worth the entrance money alone. Goes past defenders for fun and very skilful. Lowe will know how to get the best out of him and sure to be a crowd favourite."
"Most talented footballer I’ve seen at Bury. "
"Top notch. If he settles then he is the best player in the league. Got to build the side around him. "

BBC Reporter Ben Collins tempering expectations a little...
"Danny Mayor is in Plymouth today to speak to Ryan Lowe and have a look around. Not a done deal tho. He's due to visit another club tomorrow, one which also isn't local #BuryFC #PAFC"

I’ve been looking at the pic with DM apparently at the club shop and reconciling it against images of him on the web... personally I don’t think it’s him, but I’d love to be wrong..! :scarf:
Can't embed for some reason but this makes for good viewing...

I particularly liked the hoarding jump at the end of the compilation....
This cut and pasted from the Bury board....you have to feel for them if remotely true
Ryan Lowe, Steven Schumacher and Jimmy Dickson - Plymouth ( plus fitness coach and also potentially the social media manager he is engaged to)
Brian Jensen - Shrewsbury
Nicky Adams - Northampton
Jay O'Shea - Deciding between Plymouth and Brisbane Roar
Tom Aldred - Brisbane Roar
Danny Mayor - Seemingly set for Tranmere Rovers ( or maybe not
)
Nicky Maynard & Dom Telford - Plymouth bound
Chris Stokes - Set for Stevenage
Joe Adams - Held talks with Brentford

It’s difficult not to be excited as he is seemingly at HP.
However, it now just appears RL will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to sign him especially with higher league clubs chasing him.
Lowe did say he was always interested but at his press conference said it will be very difficult because we are a L2 club.
Love it to happen. Not expecting it though. I feel others are and this is the problem with social media. Argyle tried to keep it quiet l guess in case it doesn’t go through. There will now be a section of Argyle fans who will be extremely disappointed if this doesn’t go through but we have to be realistic. Which some aren’t.

Well I thought you’d bite.
Mayor can obviously shine at this level which is what Argyle require this season. But Carey is a big, big loss, I am still sulking about that one.
The budget ? You are the one who keeps raising it. I don’t know whether it’s good or not for this season. There is a new fella in charge of the club and apparently they have received £500k for Ladapo. We will see who comes through the door.
Do I want Mayor to sign ? YES.

Probably the right way to look at this. My hopes were up. Now they're down. Tough being an argyle fan!
I think that’s what Andrew Parkinson meant when he commented about it being worth the wait when our new signings are revealed
At least we are in with a sniff.
The fact he has travelled down here has to be a bonus. Seeing what we are trying to achieve. We aren't L1 this season but with a multi year contract he could well be in L1 next season.
