    Of our last team and subs that played against Port Vale the following are no longer on Argyle's books.

    Mumba, Azaz, Matete, Lonwijk, Cosgrove, Grant, Mayor, Ennis, Parkes.

    Two others Houghton & Wilson have contract offers as yet unsigned.

    Not only do we need to replace these players....they have to be of Championship ability at least.....so some hard work to come in the next few months.

    Birmingham are open to offers for Sam Cosgrove.....I think we need better than that to play in the Championship.....he'd cost too much anyway.

    Still chat about Notts C and their striker Macaulay Langstaff....42 goals in 47 games.....tier 5 to tier 2 in one jump....not going to happen.

    Anyway....no team is allowed two Macaulay's at the same time.

    Oh, and before you say "it's easy to win things if you play for Chelsea, either Graham Souness or Roy Keane, both of whom know a thing or two about midfield play, said that Chelsea shouldn't be allowed to play Kante as it amounted to 11 v 12.

    N'Golo Kante is not a human being .....not only had an unbelievable 'motor ' but probably had a turbo charger installed as well......and surely had wings on his heels.

    Friio came from the depths of French football to the Championship. Also Le Keeper. Don't think Vardy did that badly either with the jump. All players have to start somewhere and nowhere near all of them start in Premiership Academies. Randall started in League 2 with us and has continued to impress. Will he make it in the Championship. What about Scarr who hasn't played at that level yet. The Argyle set up these days isn't some amateur lot. They know what they are looking at and if they think Langstaff can make the grade then that's ok with me.

    The Daily Record newspaper is saying that Argyle are keen on Burton Albion's 21 yr old defensive mid-fielder.....Terry Taylor... he has played for Scotland U17's & U18's....but has swapped to Wales U21's....his season finished early because of injuries ?

    Jordan Houghton becomes the third player to accept a new deal.....he has signed a new 2 year contract.

    James Wilson is now the only one of five who where offered new contracts at the end of the season who has not yet replied.

    Scarr and Hardie have accepted new deals.....but Niall Ennis has moved onto Blackburn.

    Seems to be a lot of talk about Idris el Mizouni....Ipswich mid-fielder.....who has spent the last 4 yrs on loan at Cambridge, Grimsby & Orient.

    Don't understand all the fuss....he just seems to be an Ipswich reject....how would he fit into a Championship side with only lower league experience ?

    If there's any truth in this, I'm sure Argyle's interest will be based on extensive research. He was included in the EFL League Two Team of the Season and was was Orient's Players’ Player and Manager’s Player of the Year. Aberdeen, Derby and Watford are also among those reported to be interested, so he must have something about him.....

    Sheffield Wednesday have released 7 players, of whom 4 were on the bench for their play-off final. Two more in that squad were loan players who are returning to their parent clubs. A squad assembled to get out of League 1 rather than anything else...

    On of those released is ex Argyle keeper David Stockdale, who's moved to National League York City.

    Hard to tell if he is up to Championship football.....played nearly all his football away from Ipswich in Div 1 & 2....more in Div 2.

    Four consecutive years on loan.....and he isn't a goal scorer.....too much of a risk......If Ipswich didn't play him in Div 1 why should he be getting a chance at Championship level.

    Remember we're trying to replace some loanees from last year who where winners.

    Talk elsewhere that we are offering Scott Arfield 34 years old released by Rangers so we're told....a one year contract........must be for his experience I assume.

    Would seem strange....because at the moment he is about to take over a Pub only 10 minutes from Ibrox.
