Morgan Whittaker Plymouth

[Woodleyclaret]

Apparently off to Luton for £4m
He looks a real prospect a look of Ollie Watkins at Villa and one who we could have gone after.

[Goliath]

That seems like an insanely low fee in todays market

Because it’s a made up story posted by a fake Twitter account. Amazing how many people get fooled by this stuff still.

[Tricky Trevor]

I mentioned him very early in the January window thread and he has played better since.
Not one for this season but if we are buying cheap to improve and make a profit this guy is a cert. Already proven at Championship level and we need an improving striker, even if only to cover Foster, as this has to be JRods last hurrah.

Having already lost a key attacking player in Finn Azaz (7 goals plus 5 assists) who has been recalled from loan by parent company Aston Villa, it is highly unlikely that Plymouth would entertain bids for Morgan Whittaker. Another player recalled from a loan spell last season resulting in Plymouth having to fork out £1 million to get the player back.

Azaz is going to Middlesbrough

[boatshed bill]

I hope that every player we don't sign won't be met by the old "one we could have got" thing

[TheFamilyCat]

I didn't realise we were in the market for new solicitors.

Boro wanting to sign Ayling.

Good Evening, just thought I would put an argyle fans perspective on things. Firstly we will eventually sell Morgan Whittaker but not at the sums being mentioned. Since last January the club has rejected two offers of 8 million. The clubs being Lazio and Rangers. Whilst we are a small club, we are also a club that has no debt and hard cash in the bank. They like to say that they are in on a sustainable way and whilst there is cash in the bank it is earmarked for things like the 26 million collaboration with the council of upgrading local sports facilities etc. It will get Argyle level 2 academy status but cost them 11 million. I diverge back to Morgan, he currently has three years of a four year contract left. Last season he scored 20 goals and was in the championship team of the season. That is more than Jack Clarke and Pillogene who have just been sold for 15 and 18 million respectively. Obviously argyle have a price they will sell him for but cannot see it happening this window.

How long has Rooney left?

Thank you for the info.
It's hard to know if we are actually genuinely trying to sign Whittaker, or putting in offers that we know that you'll refuse both the amount and the format.
Or just making it look like we are trying to get quality players in to take some of the attention off the selling of our own players, many of whom we seem to have either purposely or carelessly unsettled ourselves

[FCBurnley]

Whittaker would tick all the boxes for us. Shows a great lack of ambition on our part if we get the deal over the line !

Bully for the Janners.

We at Burnley are proud to say that our prime purpose is to fatten the wallets of a handful of American speculators and merchant bankers.

Why would they sell him for £4 M when we’re offering double that?

[andyh]

That is the problem with resurrecting old threads

[fatboy47]

Sigh....checks date of OP

You might have got him at a better price back then.

Plymouth would be absolutely crazy to sell him now.

[Spike]

We shouldn’t be bungling about the day before the deadline!
Shockingly misuse of a multi million pound company

I don't think anything is going to placate you Spike.

Spike needs to lie down in a dark room all day Friday. Big day Sat and they are close to meltdown already without another 5 outgoings tomorrow.

A balanced squad would be a start

20 players leaving isn’t normal
Who is going to get the goals
I am normally very optimistic but if you knew anything about me you would know how much Saturday means to me

I can tell how much you care with your posts tonight, hence my comment.

Selling 20 players isn’t normal, you’re correct. Carrying 40 players on the books isn’t either. So with 10? 9 already, players coming in we need to offload 20 players to get a squad size that is manageable. With injuries and U21 players taken into account we might end up with a right amount. Last summers acquisitions proved to be not good enough on the pitch, but do seem to be good for the balance book.

We would've been better allowing control to go to the billionaire who wanted to pump loads of his money into Burnley FC 3 years ago. Oh no there wasnt anybody prepared to put money in to BFC.

Sorry to be sarcastic but were there any alternatives to ALK and their leveraged deal?

More to the point is there a billionaire prepared to invest and buy Burnley nowadays?

I look forward to that day. Until then I'll try to bear with and support the current board and hope they can get things back on an even keel after the last 18 months of crap.

Got to say Bee Hole, that is pretty much exactly where I am.

Scott's press conference today clearly inferred it was players who wanted out. The ones who have gone, bar Viti haven't had the 50% pay cut relegation clauses. Not sure on Weggy and Berge either but they were on big cash.
If the club have scooped profit fantastic. Getting sick of hearing AP is trousering the money. Not one person has a strand of evidence of this.

[Commy]

It is a worry though that we are trying to sign everyone on a buy now pay later if we get promoted deal. We are going to be fleeced for players this late in the window but if they want Whittaker they are going to have to pay for him.

FFP and PSR it appears. Many clubs are doing it.
