Biggish Dave Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Seems like we’re trying to get the attacking side of things sorted first - the expensive salaries and players who will get snapped up. Leave the cheaper boring defenders until last. we won’t need many defenders anyway when we steamroller everyone Quote

He was unlucky with a couple of injuries when he played for us, but thought he was a tidy player and could fit into our new side. It's a yes from me, a quality central midfielder imo, but never a defender as long as he's got a hole in his arse. I would imagine he's good enough to get a gig with a Championship side though. Love to get Verlinden back on loan, as we'll be swapping places with Stoke soon, he'd be better off with a club on the up rather than one on it's way down Quote
barrycowdrill Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Sarcevic was argyle player of the year wasn’t he? Take him in a heartbeat re: Doyle, can analyse his career all you want, he’s scored goals at this level as of 3 months ago. A lot of them. We’ve needed someone to get near 20+ Goals a season for nigh on 20 years. I’d rather take my chances on someone whose done it than anyone else. not every signing needs to be for the future. Some need to be for the now Edited July 5, 2020 by barrycowdrill Quote
Escobarp Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I’m not sure anyone is saying not to sign Doyle. I’m certainly not. I am however just pointing out his limitations. I hope he scores 30+ on the way to a 100 point season of course I do and would be a good solid signing as this is clearly his level. Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 It seems to me the key with Doyle is to play to his strengths. Do that and he'll deliver a good return. Quote

Marc505 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Hopefully a similar situation to the one Evatt himself talked about in the podcast regarding Quiqley and Rooney at Barrow, he coaxed loads of goals out of them that they hadn't previously been noted for. If he can manage to get Doyle to repeat last seasons tally we are going to be a force. Quote
barrycowdrill Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Right service to Doyle & the players around him chipping in with 8 - 12 each too. Sign of a good side is the goals being spread out. Rely / expect everything from one player is a big risk Quote
Blondi Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Can't see Doyle signing more than a 1 year deal tbh, he's looking to move back to Dublin asap, hopefully he does sign for us and gets us promoted. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/18338905.swindon-town-striker-eoin-doyle-keen-move-back-dublin-soon-possible-order-help-childcare-business-thrive/ Quote

This Eoin Doyle fella, I’ve heard of him but don’t know a thing about how he plays and he is possibly the highest profile L2 player out there. As long as we don’t replace Bunney with Moxey..... Other high profile Div 2 players...James Vaughan, Nicky Maynard, James Hanson, Adam Rooney, Clayton Donaldson. And Chris Taylor. Struggling after that, there dont seem to be many 'big' players that have dropped down in recent years. Quote
Arrested development Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Sarcevic has been heavily linked with Salford. I met him and another Plymouth player David fox on the train back from Sheffield United when we lost 2-0. Nice guy. Great player at league 2 level. Scored a belting free kick for fleetwood at wembley couple of years back. Quote

If our max is £1500 a week (or whatever), that's £1500 that's based on the income we must have projected when proving to the EFL that we have funds to get through the season. Surely if the EFL want assurances that we arent going to go into admin again, our spending power is now reduced due to no guaranteed gate income for the foresseable (same applies to Macc). Whatever we could "afford" before, we can afford less now, but we seem to be committing to relatively big wages/contracts. If it was Ken giving out the contracts and not FV, I'd be getting very concerned, can we assume FV have got more reserves of funds than we know about? Quote

jmjhb Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised if we went in for Neal Eardley. Right-back, played with Evatt at Blackpool, has just been released by Lincoln Edited July 5, 2020 by jmjhb Quote

Thought it was £1500 per week in L2 heard a very strong rumour Doyle is done 2 year deal and £5k a week which I thought is utter bollocks. then got me thinking, is the cap specifically max £1500 per player or is it your weekly pay divided by the number in your squad which then cannot exceed £1500? So in theory you could pay 1 player £2500 a week and 2 others £1000 thats pretty much a salary cap in itself. Our expenditure is still the same regardless Edited July 5, 2020 by barrycowdrill Quote

But we would’ve had to prove we could afford an avg of £1500 per week anyway right at the beginning? but upon each signing show there is still scope in that pre agreed / approved budget for it..
