Squad 2026/2027, Pre-season & Key Dates

[Mark Smith]

I wonder if our finances will allow us to pay a fee for Mitchell when the time comes. It would hurt seeing him line up for another L1 club, but we can be sure he’s been noticed and if Charlton don’t want him he won’t be short of suitors.

Kane might yet fit into Huddersfield’s plans.

Ralls is a different matter as he has no club to return to, so it would be wages or location.

I wonder how many of the current squad will start the first game of next season?

Baidoo is that type of player that Graeme Souness brought on as a sub for Southampton and then realised he wasn't any good.

The Baidoo situation almost has the hallmarks of a scam. Did Argyle actually sign the person they saw playing in Sweden, or did we sign his brother or something? I’m not entirely serious by the way, but if in years to come I read that the Baidoo transfer was an elaborate con, it would all make sense. From the little I saw, he couldn’t even trap a football properly.

And if Argyle can get Baidoo off the wage bill then fantastic. It would place the club in a better position to sign proven performers like Mitchell etc.

So at a guess players we won't see at Argyle next season having played their last games.

Hazard.
Baker.
Matthews.
Galloway.
Mitchell.
Sorinola.
Kane.
Benarous.
Paterson.
Tolaj.
Hatch.
Baidoo.
Wright.
Ogbeta.
Issaka.

I would agree with all of that except Mitchell. And nearly all of it would be positive except Tolaj.

Surprised you’ve not included Pepple and Ashby Hammond . However Sorinola has another year .

I think Pepple will stay and Ashby-Hammond will be offered a new deal as a number 2.
There's nothing confirmed that Sorinola has another year.

Baidoo for Mitchell straight swap

According to Woodsy Green who appears to know AH is going.Thought Sorinola confirmed at Senior Greens last year he had 2 years left .

Matty was urging Mitchell to sign a contract on twitter last week. Bit odd if he wasn’t staying himself.

 

[GreenEden]

Im not sure it works like that. We hold his registration. So if he refuses to return, he doesnt get paid as he cannot play for anyone else.
Cancelling his registration would be ezactly what he would want (in that scenario).
Perhaps he could yet do a job for us. There is a new regime at Argyle.

Sure if he's in breach of contract we can keep hold of his registration without paying him it would effectively cost him 2 years of his career so not necessarily his best option. He needs to be realistic in his package to leave or else his career is rotting away in Qatar or Registered to us and not playing

When I first saw your list I thought we can’t have a massive churn of players like that, then I realised that only four were in yesterday’s squad with only two starting, so maybe you’re onto something, although I reckon that both Galloway and Hazard will be offered contracts.

 

[Furnell]

I may have missed this elsewhere - but does anyone know when the retained list is published?

Reckon it will be next couple days, by Thursday the latest in my opinion

Ralls has signed 12 month deal, not sure when it will be announced
