On Argyle's part, no.
He is out of contract in the summer. Sure he's U24 and any fee would go to a tribunal. However, we 'only' got £200k odd for our captain with over 100 appearances. We would surely have got less for an 'in and out' player over the last few years who has only just broken into being a regular.
If the fee is bigger than we got for Curtis Nelson then Argyle would be stupid to turn it down, ESPECIALLY as he wanted to go. The alternative would be to match the offer in a contract renewal, that would be suicide for team morale as he, at 20 would be the highest paid player on the longest contract.
They are in a desperate position so offered a desperate price, he is apparently desperate to go too. There was no alternative.
It is a shame 'one of our own' wants out. But we want players at Argyle who WANT IN.
We move on :scarf:
Missing the point.
The worrying thing is that he wanted to leave in the first place. Why doesn't Argyle feel like a better option to Purrington than Rotherham? Could it be Mickey Mouse contract offers?
Purrington today, Carey tomorrow?
I can't be flippant about one of our brightest prospects - especially a youth product - so desperate to get away.
Crap news.
We could navel gaze while mulling over WHY it happened for a lifetime. The point I was responding to was WHAT Argyle did about the set of circumstances as presented.
Stan said it was shortsighted, I explained why it clearly wasn't. No point missed by me, the point was missed by him. I mean, quite WTF else were Argyle supposed to do?
So you won't hear any calls from me for an inquisition as to what motivated his desire to leave, it's bleedin obvious*. No point wasting time over it, we regroup behind the COMMITTED players and move on to Yeovil :huddle:
*It calls to mind Mrs Merton's question to Debbie McGhee..."So, Debbie, what was it about the millionaire Paul Daniels that first attracted you to him"? :lol:
Yeah, bigger picture missed
