New striker search

[Quintrell Green]

This would be surprising as he signed a 3 and half year deal with Wrexham back in January,But wouldnt say no to him thats for sure

I read this guy was on the books of Ross County from 2017 TO 2019 and I wonder whether the Father / Son Adams connection with that Scottish outfit is any influence on the apparent current rumour. He was well appreciated at Barnsley whilst playing there.

Currently our first 11 is still pretty good, on the subs bench we are well covered in the keeper, defence and central midfield positions but we have no game changers in the forward positions.
If we are losing a game, short of changing formation or tactics, we have no player who could come on and influence the result.
The first 11 have to make sure we win.

Last season Pepple didn't score until late September but Oseni did hit goal scoring form in August, fingers crossed they both can score early goals.

Hopefully we can sign reinforcements before the Exeter game but more importantly before the Stockport game.

And those front 4 pretty much have to play every minute of every game. Which is unsustainable even in the short term.

 

[Devonport Ender]

I'm pretty convinced we will get mellon in.
And a loan later in the window to cover Baidoos position.

Not just the games , its the training as well .Watts , I think is back in training this week (?) but its hardly as though Watts and Amaechi have good injury records .Feasibly , Issaka could come on if we are cruising but it does show the weakness of the squad .

Grimsby fan on the NTT20 WhatsApp suggesting argyle and orient have had £1.5m bids accepted for Kabia. Probably tosh.

 

[Terry Fowler]

So we will just bimble along in the 3rd tier of English football on 16000 gates that won’t last very long.

So with your obvious vast of experience of running a football club to ensure the supporters still have a club in say 5 to 10 years what do you suggest we do??

You know as a football club (that has never done or won anything but still has a commanding fanbase), that if you bid £1.5m for a reasonable League 2 player and that player then chooses Orient over you, then it's time to call it a day. For Argyle to bid £1.5m for Kabia smacks of desperation, but I can't believe they have or will.

 

[RWW1]

Don’t forget we bid for players on two fronts.
1). The player they are right now.

2). The player we think we can develop them to become.

Personally I’d like to see the head of the academy few the heat about producing some more players first team squad ready.

An awful lot of players would choose a London club over us all things being equal sadly. If you're a young man with a very good salary - the bright lights will look attractive.

Easy to ask but tough to deliver, when there is no stepping stone between U18 and L1 football. The gap is huge.

Though from the comments I have seen on the Tavistock game yesterday, maybe we have some useful prospects coming through.

Senior BBC journalist now reporting this is true (not necessarily the fee quoted, but the bid). Kabia out wide and Mellon through the middle anyone?

Lincolnshire local radio are also reporting this

 

[jimsing]

I would be shocked (and happy of course) if we brought anyone in before the Exeter game…Stockport is probably more realistic.

Before the Bradford City game, you mean.

What an outlook you have, think I'll stay in my glass half full state.

He has a point though. A lot of goodwill and interest was created at the start of the Lowe and Schumacher era and crowds have been maintained to what they are now. A few seasons in League One (Division Three) and they will slowly drop. We aren't a Portsmouth where you'll get 16/17k through thick and thin. Portsmouth FC have an illustrious, First Division and FA Cup winning past, whereas Argyle finished 4th in Division Two once (73 years ago).
