I don't think he'll go there. Mind you, if they are doubling or tripling his wages, it will be tempting for him

Purrington signs for Rotherham - confirmed
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
We should be really worried. They're probably offering him a flat cap, whippet and a part-time job in the Hovis factory as we speak.

From the point of view of Argyle and Adams we have three very good left backs so it's not as though we don't have cover.
From Purrington's point of view he would get decent wages but with the Rotherham manager being only a caretaker a run of even more poor results would see him replaced and then Purrington would have to impress the new manager or be left out of the squad.
Or stay ar Argyle and get a promotion on his CV and continue learning under Adams who has improved so many players.

For me, he's developed into a very solid full back.
The only way I can see Sawyer getting back in is if Ben leaves or suffers an injury. Hopefully neither happen!

This may be a first move but others will probably lurking with more attractive prospects and more money. Don't think we should sell for anything less than £600k plus add one up to £1M
He's too young. Young players only benefit from a move when they transfer to a team able to continue to develop them further either through dynamic, experienced coaches or by vying against far better opposition
Rotherham is neither.
I know Purrignton is highly regarded and I think there is a quality player in there we need to see a lot more and will given time

If my memory serves me well the last Argyle apprentice left back, who went on to better things was Colin Sullivan from Saltash. I think he played over 200 games for Argyle before he went to Norwich City. IMHO young Purrington has not yet reached Colin's skill level. I think it would be a premature move for him to a Club on the slide.
Purrington might be attracted to Rotherham's new stadium....The New York Stadium is only a few years old....although only seating just over 12,000.
Sawyer is a steady eddy.
However, Purrington has more pace and more assists. If Purrington left, I would say Sawyer would do an OK job but he wouldn't quite provide that forward options like Purrington does. With that it mind it would be a blow to our team to lose Purrington from our side.
However, its not good bad mouthing a side that is in the championship, whether they are struggling or not. You might not like it (if this rumour were to be true) but Rotherham would offer him a guaranteed higher standard of football and if your a ambitious footballer it always going to be difficult to turn that down. No point being a tribal footballer supporter and saying Argyle is a bigger and better football club because the reality is we are still a league two club who are trying to find their way out of this league.

IF true.
Would it be a footballing decision v financial ?
Would DA/JB be prepared to say [goodbye] and get some MORE dosh in as they are well covered at left-back/left wing-back - in their opinion ?
Would BP see the move to a Club on the slide [maybe] to guarantee him playing a better level of football rather than wait for Argyle's chances ?
Would BP see it as a chance to earn a few extra bucks [when he can] but with the possibility of experiencing the slide ?
Or does DA/JB see these next few weeks as the second REAL chance to taste success in two years AND have made ADEQUATE unbudgeted income to repel ANY approaches in order to keep the squad intact ?
Keep the Faith :scarf:

He is on a contract with Argyle until the end of this season, at least.
Why would Argyle release him when, as he is under 24, they would get a fee for him even if he refuses to sign a new contract when his current one expires?
No chance!!!

Not a lot of love for Rotherham here. Reminds me of Hourihane when he left for the bright lights of Barnsley, but it didn't work out too badly for him in the end.
Barnsley are an established Championship club who have graced the top flight, Rotherham are a club now on the descent.
Purrington has blossomed into a brilliant player, arguably the young and most improved player this season.

Yeah I can remember watching Colin play for the England U 23's at Home Park in the early 70's. He was pretty useful certainly ahead of BP who has made great headway this season though.
