PLYMOUTH'S stupendously all singing dancing transfer thread!

[bobo the clown]

Slightly farcical if it's him going on a one-in one-out. He can't be on much money, so it would either be someone being stubborn to the principle or we really are fecked and are now looking to borrow someone earning about £5k per week.

I'm not averse at all, but we've had him 3 years now ... loaned him out 3 times (at least) and he's done well wherever we loaned him. We are now in the second division and not scoring. I'd have thought he'd be playing ... or regular sub ... if there was real internal belief in him.

Like everyone I want our guys to do well, our youngsters (OK, Oldham's) to come through but we should, Shirley, be seeing more faith in the lad if he's ever to make it.

is it the striking dept we need to strengthen??

I understand that maybe we needed to strengthen at centre-half. Or am I getting confused ?

According to Nixon we can only bring in a centre back (Baird seems to be the target) if we can shift one of the ones we've got.

Do Boro still want Wheater?

any idea why it has to be a cb we shift to bring in a CB? if we can afford to loan a striker should eaves be loaned out - why not a CB?

I've no idea. Perhaps there is a cheap striker deal available that we can afford by moving Eaves out but not an equivalent CB deal around?

I mean I don't think being stuck with 5 centre backs before the Sept deadline would have been good, but now I wouldn't have thought it mattered so much for the shorter period.

I can only assume it is down to economics/availability.

Isn't Baird going to need a pre-season to be up to fitness, or has he already had one somewhere? Whoever comes in needs to be able to hit the ground running...or at least jogging.

Been training with QPR. But it is a worry. The trouble is I doubt many teams at this stage want to loan out, competent centre halves. And we're not in a position to be taking risks on a youngster.

And yes Dawson was young, but slightly different to a premiership kid who hasn't been tested outside of the reserve side yet

that makes sense - but isn't quite what Nixon is saying. if what you say is right - and it sounds reasonable enough - it isn't true that we can only bring in a centre back if we can shift one of the ones we've got... if we found a CB for the same deal as this rumoured striker - then SURELY we could bring a CB in instead of a striker...

what you're saying is - we can only bring in a CB if it turns out we can afford it! - which sounds much more sensible than what nixon is saying.

May well be what he means. Twitter is character limited and I suspect he rattles off any old half baked response given the amount of times he's asked exactly the same question.

I have to say, unless this striker we are looking at is very very good, I don't fully see the point of it. Eaves isn't "quite there" yet. So I don't think him going to Shrewsbury or Bradford would be a bad idea for a few months. But if we're playing 1 up it leaves us with 3 which is enough to get by on.

indeed - which makles it a bit odd that if there IS some cash freed up - then we'd spend it on loaning a striker... I mean, unless he's some utterly shit-hot ace striker lent to us by chelsea to honour this gentleman's agreement following Cahill's sale... but even then - surely we'd be saying - give us a defender instead!

perhaps as well as the 1 in 1 out, we are also operating a quota system for forwards, midfielders etc.
Its clearly all to do with mathematics rather than feng shui

Yeah, apparently we're going to lend Eaves to a centre-half or something.
