Herald reporting that Argyle appear not to have heard from Ruben prior to Mr. Lowe's Thursday morning deadline.

Think it's irrelevant, he's off. With him, Carey, Yann, Edwards and Foxy all off with more to follow no doubt that's some serious wage freed up for new signings.

He might do a Bhasera. He hasn't got a trophy to return has he? :)

Strange how Lowe said that he'd spoken to 90% of the players when he was interviewed and they were mostly keen to work with him. Appears not so far as only Sawyer signing on from the first team squad.

Can't imagine Ruben staying unless we've massively upped his offer since Carey moved on.

Although given Ruben left Coventry because they got relegated to league 2 I find it very hard to see him even contemplating an offer from us. More than happy to be proved wrong by him though.

We don't know that he hasn't. I know he hasn't texted me, but maybe someone at the club knows? I expect they'll let me know when it's the right time.

If you've got several concrete offers and you're definitely going to take one, you'll politely let Argyle know you're not accepting their offer. Then Argyle confirm. Just like Carey.

The fact that hasn't happened does suggest the possibility that there are further negotiations going on between Ruben and us.

Don't see any other reason we'd accept a delay here.

Twice relegated from L1, perhaps he's just not up to that level and should take what's offered.

A few players will have been offered a contract but will have waited to see if our new manager was prepared to increase that offer.

Songo'o, Carey and Fox will have had their revised offers and not liked them. Others are still weighing up options. Our revised offer maybe their 3rd, 4th or 5th choice but it's the safety net and few will want to take that away (Edwards) until they've made a decision or Argyle have removed the net. They will want to make the decision as late as possible if they have a number of suitors.

Reuben will be off I have no doubt. It's not an earth shattering blow. He's at best a Championship player but his realistic level is league 1. Enjoyable and frustrating in equal measure his contribution to the team's performance will be easily replaced.

As far as I'm concerned, there's not a single player from last season's pitiful capitulation that I will be sorry to see go. Unless they show total commitment to getting us back up they can go wherever they want.

If Ruben was given a formal date of which to reply by and hasn’t then for me the contract offer is rescinded and we move on without him.

If he was still mulling it over then I’d like to think contact would have been made to ask for a little more time because of whatever the reason may be.

He’s obviously in negotiations with another club or 2 so his priorities aren’t with keeping RL informed of his intentions.

He’s (very likely) moved on, we should do the same.

Agree.
