No problem bringing in a few hungry Celts - bring it on Del Bhey, like the style!!

It will be interesting to see how he plays them for me as both as left wingers by trade. Not that simple to say one will play on the right.

Left footer crosses inswinging from the right can be keepers nightmare - all in the rich tapestry of the game!! Take your point though, unconventional but I'm up for it - no problem with our Del yet!!

Exactly. Arjen Robben's done okay. Probably the most one-footed world-class player around, but it doesn't mean anyone can stop him.

that cheating bastard is best know for his diving antics than his ability to play right side of midfield.

Too right Angry, that dutch tart can piss off if he thinks he'd get a game on Argyle's right wing.

Looking at who we might sign next (from the Ross County released list) those who are midfielders and were signed by Adams-

Joe Cardle could be a possibility- Derek once described him as "an out and out winger... very creative and direct which will suit our style of play." ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ). Despite being English he has spent the majority of his career in Scotland.


Terry Dunfield- 33 year old Candian International, who has played for a number of English teams in the North West (after starting at Man City) [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


Benedict Frempah- 20 year old midfielder- doesn't look to have played much professionally- [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


If we need another RB, Steven Saunders might be a possibility (although Nelson could provide cover). 24 year old with 1 cap for Scotland    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Saunders

Joe Cardle sounds like he is a good player, could do a job here.

@only1argyle have just tweeted "incoming" with this clue-


Not messing, not joking, not playing about. It's an #incoming #pafc

Good signing; O'Connor's replacement, at a guess.

So a player turns down a Lge 1 contract to come to Argyle. WTF is going on?

"Josh Simpson will tear league two up, absolutely gutted he isn't with us. Good luck! @JoshSimpson87"WoW!!!!

Meh. Recent bad injury and a no better scoring record than any of the other players signed so far but good luck to him anyway.

welcome josh simpson

Who was that with? Crawley were relegated last season or have I missed something?

Oooops .. still sounds good though.
Forgot - just for stephensdad
''Not another freebie'' FFS
I think Greenskin may be stephensdads love child.

some what injury prone despite being a good player in general.

A very good player is Simpson, especially for L2. Chuffed with this one, could be a key signing.

Let's just wait and see. I really do wish the bloke all the best but I don't like the sound of players joining Argyle after spending nearly an entire season injured-seen too many of them over the years and it always gives me the shits when reading it in any incoming players CV. Sincerely hope that he proves to be a major acquisition and also that the other signings made can provide the midfield scoring power that was so obviously missing last season [and in previous seasons come to that] but there is no real sign of it so far looking at the career records of the players concerned. I don't believe in just mouthing the "great signing" mantra for the sake of it-done it too often in the past and got my chips urinated on, so bitter experience has told me to be a bit more cautious before any pants jazzing takes place. Sorry if that doesn't fit in with your outlook but that's the way it is.

He had an injury last season but i'd hardly describe him as injury prone Angry. Presumably there was some form of medical... what am I saying, this is the club that signed Kenny Cooper and Taribo West

At least I've heard of Josh Simpson.

There was a rumour that he doesn't play well away.

More of a Homer. Simpson.

Well, someone had to say it.

Look forward to some more of that sort of sparkling wit on Thursday, Garry.

Not to mention Emile Mpenza.

Although some of his 'injuries' were not of the footballing variety.
