    He finished last season strongly but so far this year, he’s been back to his unconvincing form prior to that.

    I think perhaps his form is very sensitive to which of the three CB positions he gets picked in.

    Victor Palsson has departed Argyle by mutual consent.....his contract has been terminated for personal reasons.

    He was an absolute hero at the tail-end of last season I will give him that. When the going gets tough…. True character comes out.

    I hope “personal reasons” is just a form of words……

    "Personal reasons".......might mean.....I need regular 1st team football if I'm going to get in the Icelandic World Cup squad....and I could now be dropping down the pecking order at Argyle now we have two more defenders.....and also the formation that suits me isn't Tom Cleverley's style. ?

    Yes or regrettably it could mean “my wife’s threatening to leave me” or vice versa.

    I speak from experience having had a wife with toddler in my office begging to have her husband brought home from an overseas post.

    Don’t always assume life is entirely cynical……

    Tom Cleverley says in an interview that there was "concrete interest" from Premier League clubs in signing Tegan Finn. Quite a coup for Argyle then to have signed him on a 3-year contract.

    Awful lot of rumours going around about the possibility of Dan Scarr returning........although we have reasonable coverage in that position....one is out for awhile......one is on loan....and one more has been prone to injuries often.....so is there any truth in it ?

    I think another CB would allow us to play more traditional, robust full backs, perhaps Szucs, Edwards, Galloway instead of the likes of Mumba and Sorinola.

    Where do you count Wiredu though? He seems to be able to play CB or DM to a good standard.

    Cleverley has said several times that his remaining priority is a DM.
