New signing thread (Josh Simpson signs 06/07)

There's more chance of a three year old using Twitter.

Very true.

Or a twit using a three year old.

Babum tish.

I just sat my grand-daughter (2 and half) in front of my i-pad and got
''gt59invxdszaw4532lmkjiuhbgt'' - now decipher that into a new player.

Despite taking over the reins at Argyle for little more than a week, Derek Adams is already making inroads towards bringing in new signings to Home Park.
The new captain of the good ship Pilgrim would not have experienced many weeks more hectic as the last seven days, with Adams overseeing matters on and off the field, as well as organising his own shift from the Highlands of Scotland, to the south west of England.

Nevertheless, Adams has already sat down with Chairman of the Greens, James Brent, to discuss transfer and recruitment policies, and he is confident in having an extensive and exciting set of players ahead of the new season.

“We’re working on things," said Derek. "I had a meeting with the chairman, just to go over the budget, so now we can go forward and try and get players in. We’re working on it.

“I’m not even a week into the job yet; obviously we have to add to the squad, and depending on the budget we have to work to the constraints of that. That’s what we’ll do, and we’ll be ready for August 8.

“Over the last week we’ve been assessing what we have in the squad, and assessing players that we are going to take in, and we will get to the point where we’ll make signings.

“We obviously need to get a team on the park that’s going to excite the fans, and to do that you need to win games. We’ll go and try and get the best players we possibly can under the budget.”

Two players who are yet to decide their future at Home Park are Anthony O’Connor and Tyler Harvey, and Derek quickly made a point of contacting the two young talents about their decision on whether to accept a new Argyle contract.

“We have spoken to Anthony O’Connor’s agent,” said Adams, “and we’ve spoken to Tyler Harvey. We’ll have something definite in the coming weeks, or earlier.”

Reuben Reid, meanwhile, has begun his recovery process from successful surgery on his foot – a short-term loss from the Greens to ensure his long-term fitness. Though Reuben is set to miss the start of the squad’s pre-season programme in July, Derek is looking forward to working with a striker that he admires greatly.

“He’ll not be ready for the start of next season. He’ll be recovering from the foot operation, but unable to train with the players,” said Adams.

“He’s scored a lot of goals and had a good career so far. I think he can do even better with his career; he’s got the potential to do that. We’re looking to help him on the coaching field to improve him and help him to move forward.”

Reuben out already fantastic

And what is with all this 'welcome to the good ship' bollocks?

What was Nerdy de Lar's geeky little saying is now getting into the print media.

At least he'll be rested, Sheridan would have had him back on the day even if his leg was hanging on by a thread because Reubem 'told him he wasn't injured'. He needs to get this foot problem sorted - he'll still have plenty of pre-season I'm sure.

They are going on about Gary Sawyer coming back to us on the farm, isi'nt he still on contract a Leyton Orient?
That would mean money changing hands.

Gary Sawyer - has he ever been any good? I thought he was at the Gas?

The club Twitter account is alluding to something...

At last someone is giving Argyle youngsters a chance to play

Not a bad first signing to make should push Ben Purrington for the Left back position hard which is only going to be a good thing. i guess this means we are going to be playing 4 at the back next season.

Andre Blackman.
Jamie Reckord.
Durrell Berry.
Ben Purrington.
Kelvin Mellor.
Conor Hourihane.
Nathan Thomas.
Andy Kellet.
Tareiq Holmes-Dennis.

^^ All of the players used at LB/LWB in just 2 seasons under Sheridan.

Derek Adams looks to have addressed the issue right away.

And McHugh.

Good solid player. Welcome back.

30 years old, never the quickest over the ground or on the turn and released by a club relegated to Argyle's division. Always preferred him at centre back, he was never championship standard at left back and we'll see if he [or Purrington] can indeed solved the problematic position. Good luck to him anyway, always seemed to be a decent sort of bloke.
