PLYMOUTH'S stupendously all singing dancing transfer thread!

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

He must ... just, SIMPLY must, be looking at defenders. ...... mustn't he ???

Yes.

Right now we need to make sure we get one or two players at the back.

BN's live blog reckons we're now eyeing up right-backs, with the idea of playing Baptiste on the left.

Mears must have shat in DF's tea.

Well, that's a relief ... of sorts.

... & maybe, one day, we'll find out the Mears story, coz there has to be one.

Not sure about the voracity of this. I don't think he is what you need anyway.

[Prufrock]

Don't get the rb thing. Baps is clearly more comfortable on the right, so get a LB! If there aren't any good enough available, and there is a good rb, fine, but that:s not 'looking at right backs'.

Odd.

To those not happy with another midfielder, would you reject Messi if the money was right?

Fcuk me, if he improves us and we can afford him, wtf is your problem

Of course, and if the lad's good then 'welcome' to him. But midfield is the least of our present worries.

We have Mavies, Spearing, Medo, Danns, Pratley, Vela, Moritz. Ream potentially. I've not mentioned Holden deliberately btw. Some more defensive, or more attacking, but adding one .... well, he needs to be notably better than the above.

Meanwhile we have almost no fit full-backs and barely two currently competent centre-halves.

Trotter has signed on loan

[Dr Hotdog]

DONE DEAL
BBC Radio Manchester have had it confirmed that Liam Trotter has joined Bolton from Millwall on a loan deal until the end of the season with a view to making in permanent in the summer.

From the BBC's site....

As long as it's only Pratley or Spearing to make way for his inclusion, then I'm fine with it.

[Prufrock]

I wouldn't reject signing any player who would improve us if the money was right.

When evaluating whether the money is right, the two main points to consider would be, how much would he improve us? And how big a wedge of our budget does an improvement in that position warrant.

I've barely seen Trotter play bit I doubt he's enough of an improvement to warrant spending much money on when we have such pressing needs elsewhere.

Done deal loan to the end of the season acc BBC. Sounds N'Gog like (the deal, not Trotter!).

Trotter has signed on loan

This transfer window's proving to be a new nadir, I tell you. A fecking nadir!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

A Nadir, is he a midfielder per chance?

[bobo the clown]

Bruce, really ... remember losing Anelka and this guy arriving to replace him ??



or signing this lump ?

[Riviman]

Del boy, Rodney or Uncle Albert ???

Aye - cos we just signed Messi haven't we?

You've not twigged that DF's pulled your pants down and painted your knob green.

Because we need defenders and specifically a LB, not more average midfielders

I thought that the club was skint so why use what little money we have on yet another midfielder

This sums it up.

fecking Redknapp using the word 'fayntastic' through his car window a lot on SSN now. Interviewer called it a 'always special moment on deadline day'.
nice person.(x2)

[BWFC_Insane]

Personally from what I've read from Iles and Nixon it sounds like Trotter was being lined up as a free in the summer and this has been brought forwards due to goings on at Millwall.

It is a strange signing in a short term sense given where the priorities are, but you can't always sign players in the order you'd like. Frankly I see this as part of a larger rebuild rather than a short term measure.

The problem is that there are short term problems that do need addressing now. I have no idea how much of our inability to address them is down to Freedman, the club, the money situation, player availability or anything else.

I do think letting Craig Davies go is a very odd decision in the context of where we are. We need to get enough points to stay up, then rebuild. But a big lad who might be average but is a willing runner is surely worth keeping around to help achieve that. I can see why the likes of Sordell aren't wanted here but Davies for me, as limited as he is, is the sort that might dig the odd point out for you.
