Incoming Friday Maybe Not

Derby County striker Bobby Duncan trained with Plymouth Argyle for a couple of days with a view to a possible loan move but that is now off, DerbyshireLive understands.

It is believed the League One club wanted to take the 20-year-old on loan until January but the Rams were looking at a season-long deal.

Going on loan for the season would not have affected Derby's quota of 23 players of 'professional standing' because Duncan's only first-team appearance came in the FA Cup third-round tie against Chorley in January when the Rams had to field a young side due to a coronavirus outbreak in the squad.

The EFL later decided a number of the youngsters who played in the Chorley game - including Duncan - should not be classed as players of "professional standing".

Had he gone on loan until January and played first-team football he would have returned as a player of 'professional standing'.

It's obvious we are not signing anyone today.

Just like the dogshit days under the Brentmare, losing to Newport reserves and signing fvck all in the transfer window.

Plymouth Argyle linked to Portsmouth striker Ellis Harrison on deadline day


HampshireLive understands that Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle are in talks over a potential deadline day deal.

BBC Radio Sheffield are reporting that Bolton Wanderers have lodged a bid to sign Pompey striker Ellis Harrison.

10 mins left can Ryan pull it out of the bag......

nope

oh well overall its been a good window for us i feel excluding the lack of striker addition to finish it off. we just have to pray nothing happens to Jephcott or Hardie in terms of injuries or suspensions till at least Ennis returns to full fitness with only Shirley a YTS player backing them up.

Don't panic! In true Argyle style we'll sign an "unattached! (not currently under contract to a Club) player, with an injury record as long as your arm!

Beggars can't be choosers.

We've fecked this window up.
We just needed someone to come in to cover Ennis.
If we was offered players why didn't we take the best of that bunch FFS.

Cmon Ryan your better then this.
Should have concluded business earlier

Under Hallett we'll never be anything other than a L1/L2 yo yo club. To progress we need a new owner not just a new manager.

Only Argyle could feck up signing a player who isn't even classed as a player LOL

Are they excuses? taken from local media

Ryan Lowe reveals Plymouth Argyle transfer deadline day near misses

The Pilgrims did not complete any deadline day signings before the summer transfer window shut at 11pm last night

Plymouth Argyle saw two potential loan signings fall through on deadline day as the summer transfer window shut without manager Ryan Lowe strengthening his squad.

One of the targets is thought to have been out-of-favour Portsmouth striker Ellis Harrison, who was also linked with Sheffield Wednesday but ended up staying at the Fratton Park club.

Even in the hour leading up to the 11pm deadline last night, Argyle director of football Neil Dewsnip and Lowe were working on a possible loan deal, but that did not materialise either.

We had another one potentially done on loan, we agreed the monies, and then they have come back said 'No, the owners don't want to do it'. This is just all today.

"We had one for a Championship player, which has been brewing for a couple of weeks, but he said he wants to stay in the Championship, which is fine.

"We can't go and spend £300,000-£400,000 on any players because we haven't got it, and we can't go and spend £4,000-£5,000 a week on any players."

Lowe added: "I have been offered loads of players but they just don't fit our criteria. It has been tough.

Rather he didn't panic buy/loan tbh. Work with what you've got, keep the squad tight and hope for minimal injuries and suspensions. Bring it on. COYG

begs the question again why wont the club look abroad for players rather than continually looking in the same places.

Clearly more a case of knowing he was a risk, and wanting to limit that risk to the January window, rather than commit for the whole season. Derby clearly want him gone.

I’m not Lowe’s biggest fan but it’s the correct decision and this gobby prick wasn’t ever worth the risk.

not that problematic pending on what nation they are signing the player from, if they were harder to come by due to brexit there wouldnt have been the same amount of incomings and outgoings in this transfer window as usual. It would probably be alot cheaper to sign a striker from france even for a fee including their wages than trying to sign one from a club up north who would want more money and the player demanding more to come here.

I thought 'foreign' players had to play for their country at international level to make them eligible to play in the UK? If true, that puts French players out of the running for us, and puts Argyle at the level of finding a player from Malta etc.

Here you go...

each individual is judged on their own merits but yes that is one of the main requirements however there are ways around that as the home office will know the likelihood of a french striker coming to argyle who plays for the national team would be slim to none.

seeing as the uk are going to be looking at work permits and how they are issued out due to the shortage of hgv drivers and the impact its starting to have the system may change yet,

Quite a few league one players play for their country Argyle has three on their books right now.

WE HAVE AN INCOMING

welcome Kieran

It's about time, should have just shut up from the start and got on with it.

TBH with his record at this level, I would have thought he was worth a contract until the end of the season, or does RL think 3 experienced forwards is enough?
