Sorry, thought you were rueing the fact that other clubs were doing business and getting their strikers in whilst we appear to be sitting on our hands.

Summer transfer rumour round-up
- Thread starter Site Manager
- Start date
You’d like to think that we are doing all we can to sign strikers with some sort of track record , above non league level . If we’d signed Mothersille we wouldn’t have been unhappy so it’s a bit of a concern that Stockport have managed to do it so readily.
Bolton are in for a striker costing £1 M from Celtic , Luton possibly in for Lowe .
Has baidoo's as well as maxi's departure ( not to mention rumours over al hajj) given us extra capacity for non uk signings ?
Just wondering whether it's possible we might get a left field overseas striker in before 2 august ( I cant see us kicking off without an established striker in the squad) ? Somebody like Yousef Salech, who not many had heard of, when he signed for cardiff ( not salech- but just using him as an example of a player who few people had heard of before he rocked up at Cardiff) ?
Maxi no impact- he’s on a full work permit .
On the assumption that Baidoo is an ESC player then it’s difficult. The rules say that if you loan an ESC player then they remain an ESC player for the loaning club - because when they come back they would still be an ESC player . If however there is no chance of him coming back during the season then possibly you could ask the FA to agree to a loan .
If either Al Hajj or Baidoo are transferred ( rather than loaned ) then it frees a space .

I'm assuming the one that would be a coup hasn't come off, and we're having to settle for someone like Bim Pepple instead?
Long time lurker - just wanted to say have always appreciated your insights.
I’m not actually to fussed about is securing big name/statement signings. Granted I’m not as old as some on here but the best Argyle teams I’ve seen have always been greater than the sum of its parts. Have faith in what they are trying to build and then have a moan if it doesn’t work.
O’Mahoney has just gone to Reading on loan so it won’t be him. Although I don’t suppose we were after another inexperienced striker after signing Pepple anyway.
Maybe - different type of striker plus has scored at both PL and championship level .
I guess we're not flashing the cash like when we were in the championship.. we're now buying mediocre players . Can't seeing us go straight back up .. not with these strikers ..
