Plymouth Argyle Transfer Rumour Round-up

- Start date
Not a straightforward release, he informed Luton that he would not be signing a new contract. It is believed that he has an understanding with Hull.
Great move for Bradley, moving back home to stay in the Championship and probably with a 3-year contract. Good luck to him.
Not really a rumour but would like to see us take a look at Aaron Morley from Rochdale who of course have now been relegated

Many were screaming at Lowe to change to 4 at the back, and in my opinion it worked. We looked far more solid and noticeable better balanced left and right going forward. The only drawback was the lack of confidence from the poor run of form leading up to it, so we were still losing but not rolling over. None of the top 6 were using 3 ATB and very few play it, so why would he think we can? I think the pennies dropped
I just can't see Ryan sticking with 3ATB, bearing in mind we only have Tomlinson. He would need to find at least 4 probably 5 CBs of league 1 quality, who are ball players, and that's just not feasible in my eyes. If he does go back to the 3, I would be worried. With 4 ATB it's not so important to have ball playing CBs with 2 holding mids in front of them and full backs to receive the ball. Opponents wouldn't be able to overload us in the press either, we'd always have a man free.
So more robust CBs as mentioned by others would work in that formation, in my view. I think he'd need to recruit 3 fairly competent CBs, plus Tomlinson, for that system, who don't need to play like Van Dyke. Evidence, Fornah slotting in to CB for the first time in his career, next to Kell Watts, and they looked pretty good against a robust opponent.

Thing is Mr Android, if he sticks with a back 4 he has to recruit 3-4 centre halves AND 3-4 proper full backs so the recruitment argument is flawed.
He will go to 3 anyway, its the style he has set out to play with at all levels, he only went to 4 when he had a player shortage and it didn't stem the flow of goals, as well as restricting our attacking play and dragging the two centre midfielders further back.
I was surprised that he didn't make more use of the two defensive midfielder ploy which he used at times in league 2 and early last season when he wanted to make things tighter. It's a relatively easy to make tactical tweak mid-game. It seemed to disappear when he started to use Grant wide when he lost G Cooper or maybe Camara was asked to do it and it just didn't appear to be happening.
Without the covid restrictions this window should be interesting.

The Lancashire Live website advises that PNE are behind Ipswich in the race to sign Bradley. PNE had also chased his signature in the January window. The Luton Fans website indicates that SB proposes to walk away from Luton at the end of his contract. I still think he will head for Hull.
Not sure if heās already been mentioned but it wouldnāt surprise me to see us take a punt on Matty Palmer, he was good for Burton a few years ago and at 26 thereās still a chance for him to get his career on track. Within our budget.
Similar sort of player to Jose Baxter.

Matty Palmer has not played for Burton since 2018 and of more recent times has been at Swindon. It does not appear that he could light up their dismal performances last season, although I accept there were 10 others in the team.

Iām aware of that. I wasnāt saying that I wanted him, but that heās the sort of player weāll end up signing. Weāve got to be realistic with our budget and heās a player who was tipped for bigger things a few years ago, and for whatever reason, it hasnāt happened.
Our Conferencing and Events team seem to be working tirelessly to ensure that events are being arranged 7 days a week.
We have been very unfortunate that the pandemic has prevented us from changing from receiving most of our main income once a fortnight during the season.
However, hopefully, this will now change and our recruitment budget should reflect this considerable increase in income.
Obviously, it will take time for our Board to project extra income with confidence but we seem to be heading in the right direction.

Good to hear, though much of any surplus will initially I guess go to making sure we are sustainable as Mr Hallett understandably doesn't want to put anymore money in. We hope there is sufficient left to aid with increasing the wage budget.
