Jake Jervis signs for Luton - confirmed

[German Shepherd]

In truth he isn't top half of Div 1 or Championshio quality. End of. We must get players in who are capable of getting us out of this division.

We can't afford players that are capable of getting us out of this division. One player who can left for Fleetwood. ( I don't blame Argyle for that) people have got to realise we haven't got the finances to compete with play off sides in this division. Blackburn and Wigan are the standard of player you need to get out of league one. Unfortunately we are miles away from spending anything like that. Reality check needed for some.

So far, my Cod Head supporting chums at work have been unimpressed with him.

 

[NorfolkGreen]

Yes, you’re right there. Adams has sold dozens of players so far. There’s Purrington, Jervis and.....

I’m amazed he has been here so long, look at his career record and the number of clubs he has had so far.

As to goal threat, he has scored 4 from 20 starts this season. The much maligned Grant has 3 from the same number.

I wonder how many of those starts were in the first 10 or so games, when goals were somewhat lacking?

All the best JJ my daughter going to miss you

 

[Mazza26]

So he wanted to go then.

I don't think the release clause can be used as an excuse by Adams though, and i'm not suggesting he will use it as an excuse, but ultimately he would have had some inclining about this sort of thing potentially happening, in reality it probably happened too late in the day for him to find a replacement but i'm sure he will be the first to admit that we are extremely short. Is there a loan window? Pretty sure I read that it's only emergencies as they've changed the rules?

 

[Quintrell Green]

It is what it is. £100 K was good money for him, just apity no replacement was made either bought or inward loaned.
Rock on Church, you have some popular boots to fill.

 

[PL2 3DQ]

There's no loan window anymore unless it's an emergency for a keeper. It's free agents only and they had to be a free agent before the transfer window closed last night.

It now does look like the Argyle players will have a set price release clause in their contracts.
Bradford supposedly offered £75,000 for Ryan Taylor and we turned it down because it didn't meet our valuation or was it because the release clause wasn't met?

Nope, no loans unless for goalkeepers.

Yes we do look a bit short.

I guess the scenario with JJ was, we'll let you go if we get a replacement (i.e Martinez). Martinez falls though and Luton pay the release clause and we lose JJ. Not ideal.

So what about the last 20 games that would put us fifth in the form table?

It’s how you spend that money, of which we’ll have more once the grandstand is done.

I wished I believed that. There’s a hotel to build first, secondly we have to pay for the refurb. Can’t see much if any significant funds being available for team strengthening.

Sorry to be negative, I’m just so underwhelmed by the refurb.

The hotel has financially nothing to do with Argyle and the funds for the grandstand refurbishment are already in place.

 

[GreenArmy1984]

All the best to Jake Jervis

Did a great job for us and scored some important goals

Contract up in the summer so money talks with £100k

 

[999mattyg]

Shame, I'm a big fan of JJ. His goal against Pompey away last season was a cracker!
Good business though, he seems to be on the periphery at the moment and clearly wants to be playing.
Good luck JJ.

....and parking will be a problem.

Still, how is Oz?

 

[Beercan]

Good business, it also explains his lack of form & inconsistent performances. His head has obviously been elsewhere & with the January window looming he was obviously keen to leave. His contract expired in June & he would of walked 100% for free. Just a shame we couldn't put his transfer fee & wages towards strengthening are squad. Personally I would of been keen to put that money towards Jones. I think he would of been a very good addition to our squad and a sound investment. Good age, from the area & huge potential.

As if that matters in some arguments.......

I guarantee you won't be when it's done.
