Agreed. The people who say they wouldn't take him back appear to have an argument that he was part of the team that got us relegated and therefore he has no place at Argyle any more. Yet those same people would probably vote Sarcevic among their players of the season. A player who was also part of the team that got us relegated.
Carey was great for us and could be great for us again. I'd have him back in a heartbeat. Whether Ryan Lowe wants him is another thing altogether.

Good points.
Probably wishful thinking on my part. Would still love him back, though.

True, and that's why I used the word 'presence'. Some players just seem able to really fill that central-defensive midfield space.
Kante is another one obviously.
Zackly. He'll be a bit older but we know he's got a 'great engine' (to use the footie-manager phrase) and he can beat people with footwork rather than speed so he'd still be a terrific addition to any L1 or L2 side.....and can you imagine the reception he'd get? I think he'd love it under Lowe. If only........Manchesterlalala":s8p6ogk0 said:
As Nobby said earlier in the thread - Carey delivers with goals and assists all done with workrate and skill and the occasional showboat.
If we are interested in signing him we might have to wait for several months and that will be the same for many clubs and players with a lot of pre-contracts arranged until the time when we can get back to something like normal.

Whilst he's up there with my favorite players, I don't think the gaffer will want him to be honest.

No, they kicked people into row Z and wouldn't last 10 minutes in todays game, its not 1966 fgs.
If we dont sign Carey then he will sign for at least a league 1 team and possibly come back to haunt us. He would bring so much back into our team and season ticket sales would be considerably improved imo so we should try our best to tempt him back.
I'd have him back in a flash, his workrate was always fantastic, he was let down by the players around him when we were relegated, especially the supply from both full backs behind him.
He started his career at LB I believe, or was converted to play there, if his legs are still there I think he'd make a great attacking LWB.

That would make sense seeing as Greg Strong is up there and presumably recommended Threlkeld and Letheren.
Mind you, I had to laugh at Gary Neville's irony-free comments about the season restarting. If it's true they've signed Carey then that would make the following statement even more laughable.
"Clubs have huge investment in this season. Think about what’s at stake for Leeds, it’s absolutely massive. There are big prizes up for grabs. There’s huge economic loss. It clouds people’s minds in terms of the risk that they’re willing to take."
The salary cap can't come soon enough.
