Argyle bid for Janoi Donacien (signs for Fleetwood)

[Metal Green Mickey]

Donacien was born in Castries, St Lucia. If he joined, he wouldn't be the first Argyle player from there. Who else?

My first thought was Earl Jean. He played around ‘97 season because lm sure l remember him away to Burnley along with the midfielder Mark Saunders. I think Saunders put us 1 up in that game we lost.

Earl Jean sticks in my mind because in all honesty we talk about some of our players now but thinking back then at that side it wasn’t very good. He was short in statue. Can’t remember him having that explosive pace like an Adrain Littlejohn.

Jean's the one I was thinking of anyway!

Here is a relatively easy question back. There are two other players (l can think of) who played for Argyle that have Caribbean islands nationality.

One was born in Jamaica and the other is from Trinidad and Tobago. The latter even represented them at international level. Who are they?

He was from Zimbabwe.

Joel Grant is the obvious one, he’s Jamaican. Not sure who the second is!

Ronnie?

Dwight Marshall was born in Jamaica.

Earl Jean was - with the greatest of respect - not a very good player.

Was Earl Jean the smallest player to ever play for Argyle?

 

[up the line]

Jamille Matt and Joel Grant are both Jamaican.
Grant has played for the national side 14 times

Ipswich are obviously hoping that another club comes in for him with a bigger transfer fee than what Argyle have offered and maybe start a bidding war......

Barry Hayles played for Jamaica too but was born in London.

Quite possibly, but it's a risky strategy if you want to sell and you've only got one bidder. That bidder needs to acquire a CB within the next week or so. If he finds an alternative, the seller may lose his only bid. If the buyer doesn't find an alterna\tive, however, a slightly larger bid might be forthcoming.

Incidently I am sure that Simon Hallett said he wouldn't be funding any purchases in the January window. If he's stuck to that, then presumably the fee for Ennis and potential fee for Donacien are coming from the unbudgeted revenue from the cup run, as well as the (presumably modest) fee reeived for Canavan. If this is the case then it is a brave strategy from Argyle given that so much of the income usually regarded as budgeted (POTD, hospitality etc.) is missing this year.

I don't think there is another Club willing to pay money for him, and they haven't turned down the move outright.

I suspect that Ipswich are aware of the fact that Argyle are still in the FA Cup, and have earned money from the run, and are trying to stretch Argyle into paying more than the original offer, as they know there is money in the Argyle coffers.

Who knows, if we beat Sheffield Utd (!) Lowe may be able to put in a better offer anyway.

But whatever happens, watch this space, there will be movement one way or another before the month ends, (and possibly when our cup run comes to an end) and the player appears to be more than suitable for Argyle, although Accrington may put a mockers on the deal if the player prefers to return there.

The ball is in Ipswich's court at the moment. It is their decision to make.

surely Hughie Reed was the smallest ever ?

 

[cheshiregreen]

Fleetwood in for him.
