18 goals next season... is that the whole team Sensible? Younger Feeney but with worse touch, movement, skill and smarts. I agree on the work rate but is he any improvement over say MacDonald who is younger and not had a real chance yet. Hope he proves me wrong but far from inspiring plus if he does hit form and bang a load in he goes back to Yeovil and we are back looking for a striker. Has Vassell signed yet? Not seen anything about him for a while, perhaps Uncle Darius could be persuaded to sign too. At least one more signing this week and 3 or 4 to be confirmed before Wednesday next week.
Vassell signed today so my question answered.Midfield looking light still and no left-back at the moment.
Expected that 19yr old Isaac Vassell would sign his 1yr contract........he might get a chance this season seeing Sheridan wanted him to stay. .....but we still need a main goal getter before we kick-off the season. That leave Bhasera to say yes or no.....and Gurrieri is yet to return from Argentina to sign his contract that he has agreed on, so we're told.
This maybe our lot when it comes to strikers Plym LeCointe, Alessandra, Reid, Harvey, Vassell and that ginger plank is still on the books, 6 already how many more are we going to carry? Feeney also has a chance to prove himself in pre-season I believe. PCH and Gurri, if signs, are also more attacking players. No real out and out wide players as yet and left side really weak. Little bird told me there are 3 more new faces to come in but not who or what. Looking at the squad as is I would take a guess at left sided midfielder and play maker plus left back. Heart says another striker but head says no. Alessandra has played wide but Sheri stated he prefers him as a striker. My guess is possibly a 4 3 3 or 4 3 2 1 is what we will see next season: Reid/Chadwick with Alessandra and Harvey/LeCointe/Vassell front 3 Houri/Young/Wotton/PCH/Gurri second 3 Defence is pretty well covered bar left back. A bit of competition at right back would be nice but not essential. Carrying 3 promising but very inexperienced forwards may come back to bite us as well if we pick up a couple of injuries or stupid suspensions, YES CHADWICK I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!!!!
I'm going to believe (before being proved completely insane) that this season is not going to be the struggle of the last two. I'm going to believe that one or two of the forwards are going to get on the score sheet regularly and it isn't going to be anal nerve tingling once again. I'm going to believe that I will see a lot more wins for my money. Positive is my middle name.
Well I hope your right sensible......but I feel that we still need a proven goalscorer to achieve that.
One of our youngsters will become the new Tommy plym. All Tommys have to start somewhere so why not here and next season. Be about time.
John Harbin 66/67 yr old will be Argyle's new Fitness coach.......born in Yorkshire but immigrated to Australia with his parents when 10yrs old. Been coaching with at first rugby then football clubs....coached in Australia and later here with Crystal Palace.Charlton,Coventry & Swansea....flying in for the start of pre-season training.
Everyone has quoted that Harbin has got the job.....apart for one important organization......guess who ?
Wycombe Wanderers manager Gareth Ainsworth is preparing to make an offer for Argyle's 23yr old Paris Cowan-Hall,who has obviously caught is eye. I'm not sure if I want him to stay or go personally....... but it will be interesting to see if John Sheridan says yes or no...and what his value is if he has got a selling price.
Would probably be good to keep him for a while longer and let Sheridan work on him...will be surprised if he goes unless we can get a proven replacement.
I know Tommy had a son but what about a grandson, if so where the hell is he and does he play football?
Big Ren has officially left the club today by mutual consent come on Chadders man up and move on!!! As for PCH he is an odd one occasionally looks really good but can go missing sometimes too. Think another season to see how he comes on would be best unless Sheridan has another option lined up. With the squad at the moment I would think PCH would be a first choice starter. Harvey signed pro forms today, thought he was already signed, lets hope he is our new Tommy T.
Rumour has it that Dominic Blizzard could be signing this week. Free agent having been released by Yeovil.
Seems a bit of a mixed bag in opinion on him but not a bad signing if we do. Guess that would mean that Cox is a no go if this lad does sign though.
Rumours that Sheridan is on the verge of signing two players.......one being Dominic Blizzard....the other unknown at present. With pre-season training starting tomorrow 26th June...there has been no news of Bhasera's intentions as yet.
PCH has officially gone so that was the one bit of width we had out the door!!! Will have to see who come in but at the moment a big for me. All the best Paris always put the effort in whenever I saw him and could develop to be a decent player in the future.
So Paris Cowan-Hall jump ship for Wycombe Wanderers.......I can't see what he gains from doing that, unless there was more money offered. No mention at what we got for him,I hope we didn't give hm away. Question.......did Sheridan try to keep him or not ? Unless he prefers Blizzard so let him go ?
So Dominic Blizzard signing on July 1st.......Cowan-Halls replacement.....Sheridan obviously rates him more PCH.
