It could be Four out but how many in?
Neal Trotman set to stay but Jamie Reckord and Tope Obadeyi to leave Plymouth Argyle
DEFENDER Neal Trotman has been offered a new contract until the end of the season by Plymouth Argyle.
Manager John Sheridan has also asked Championship club Sheffield Wednesday about extending the loan of striker Caolan Lavery.
But left-back Jamie Reckord has returned to League One outfit Wolves after a four-month stint with the Pilgrims.
And Argyle's League Two rivals Bury will be recalling pacy attacker Tope Obadeyi when his loan spell ends later this week.
Trotman signed as a free agent for the Pilgrims in August and his current deal is about to run out.
The powerful centre-back has become a mainstay of the Argyle defence, making a total of 25 starts in all competitions.
Trotman, 26, had previously played for Sheridan at Chesterfield.
Sheridan said: "I have spoken to Neal Trotman and I would like him to stay. I'm waiting for him to come back to me."
Lavery has made three starts and four substitute appearances for Argyle and scored two goals.
The Northern Ireland under-21 international has formed a good partnership in attack with in-form striker Reuben Reid.
Lavery's loan is set to end after the Devon derby against Torquay United at Home Park on New Year's Day.
Sheridan said: "I spoke to Sheffield Wednesday about Caolan on Saturday and they will get back to me.
"I know they have got one or two injuries striker-wise. Hopefully, it will go our way and we can get him."
Reckord made a promising start when he signed for Argyle on loan at the start of September.
However, the combination of an ankle injury and a loss of form saw him become less and less involved in the first team.
He ended up making 15 starts and one substitute appearance for the Pilgrims.
Sheridan said: "I thought Jamie did really well when he first came in. He played a part in getting one or two good results for us.
"I just think his form dropped a little bit. I think Jamie would say that himself.
"He has had a niggling ankle injury, which he might need an operation on, but he has got on with that.
"He hasn't made that as an excuse. Full credit to him, he has been spot-on in training.
"His attitude was very good, but just one or two performances didn't really go his way and I don't think he picked up from that."
Obadeyi has played eight games for Argyle, including four starts, since signing from Bury.
He has impressed Sheridan, but recently-appointed Bury boss David Flitcroft made it clear that Obadeyi would feature in his first team plans.
Obadeyi will return to the Shakers after the game against Torquay.
His loan officially ends on January 4, which is a day before the Pilgrims play away to Port Vale in the FA Cup third round.
Sheridan said: "Bury are going to take Tope back. We all know that."
The Argyle manager will hold talks with left-back Andre Blackman and midfielder Hamza Bencherif tomorrow.
Both players have short-term contracts which are about to expire and look likely to leave Home Park.
Neither Blackman nor Bencherif travelled with the Argyle squad to their post-Christmas away games against Oxford United and AFC Wimbledon.
