Argyle sign Graham Carey

[Misco]

Everything I'm reading about Carey says he is a wide left midfielder. The same as Wylde. They are maybe in competition for one place. From what I've seen on highlight reels, he isn't fast enough to be viable to play in a midfield two. Adams made a point of saying square pegs in square holes. Intrigued.

Or it could be 4-3-3 with Carey left of a midfield three and Wylde wide left up front. It's gonna be interesting.

Back with our friends at St Mirren, it seems they were linked with resigning him. They are a bit more complimentary about Carey than they were about Wylde.

funny when a player leaves your club he's sh1te still supporter's are the same all over I suppose.

Weird - it's almost as if clubs don't renew the contracts of players they don't think are very good!

Football's gone mad! :crazy:

club's don't call them poo though do they.

Because that would be unprofessional. They can think it though..

The more I read about this guy, the more excited I am.

According to Adams he can play left , right, off the top and also in a middle 2 or 3.

 

[oddball]

Adams comes across well in interviews no doubt about that,but thats all it is...interviews....I'll judge him and his signings come October after we've played the Portsmouths, Stevenages, Wycombes and Lutons of this league...

 

[IJN]

That's what we all have to do Alan.

Until then allow some of us to get excited when a player talks about his manager in a way which suggest we're going to attack, attack attack at home, with wingers at pace.

 

[monkeywrench]

Exactly Ian.

Something else which I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned:

This signing also allows us to play 3 at the back, with Carey & Mellor as wing-backs.

It's certainly good to at least have the option of it -- I can't see McHugh and Hartley playing in the same side otherwise. Both really should be starting every game at this level.

 

[Gary Wills]

The cliched 'at this level' presumably means playing well enough week on week to be promotion material.

Maybe those two are.

Having seen how poor Mellor was at times last season I'd be concerned if he was assumed by DA as at that level.

 

[Liam Vercoe]

At the start of the season, and even up until Christmas, he was one of the contenders for Player of the Season. If I remember right, Mellor was also playing with an injury towards the end of the season. Not sure how you can not think Mellor's a good enough player.

I've don't think its impossible for them to play together, no-one ever mentions it if we were to play two right footed centre backs so why should being left footed matter any more if it works and they feel comfortable? Obviously a right and left is what people desire but if your best two options happen to both be left footed so what.

I expected that.

In a 2, left-footed centre backs will have played 99% of their games growing up, at least, as the left centre back. Right-footers have far more experience on the unnatural side as there are obviously a lot more of them.

You just don't see it and likely never will. It'd be awkward. Plus, Nelson's RCB.

Let us hope Carey is given the number 11 shirt, one that has seen some particularly good and exciting players over the years. Starting with Sammy Black it was passed down through the generations to the likes of Alex Govan, Harry Penk, Ken Maloy (on his good days), Nicky Jennings, Alan Rogers, Don Hutchins, Hugh McAuley, Andy Rogers, Paul Dalton, Tony Capaldi and Peter Halmosi.
