I will look back and think how 10 million could have bought 5 very good players with the correct recruitment in place. I think Argyle will go down.

If they do we could do a lot worse than looking at bringing Morgan Whittaker back to the club.

Told you... 

I was driving past as he pulled out of the drive onto Morley Road. 100% him. 

I've just seen him leaving Moor Farm this afternoon

I went to watch Pafos FC last night, they've got some decent players:

Jairo - Brazilian striker

Moustapha Name - Cameroonian midfielder

One player who stood out though was Onni Valakari (son of Simo) - an attacking midfielder and Finnish international.

I appreciate the levels of the league are different but I doubt they are that far apart these days. 

Anyway I'm not suggesting we sign these players but I was wondering if anyone else had watched some summer football abroad and been impressed by a relatively unknown player?

Meh 

Wildsmith 7

Knight 7

Stearman 7

Cashin 7

Forsyth 7

Bird 7

Hourihane 7

Mendez-Laing 6 goes missing

Barkhuizen 6 goes missing

Collins 4 not good enough again

Dobbin 8 

Subs from:

Sibley 8

McGoldrick 6

This is nonsense as obviously there would be 1 less midfielder on the pitch?

His energy in the midfield and his willingness to run between and beyond the lines is one of the things we are missing in my opinion

He's doing well at RB but just imagine how well he would be doing if he was in the midfield

Wildsmith 7

Knight 7 needs to be in midfield

Stearman 6 

Cashin 7

Roberts 6

Korey-Smith 5

Bird 5

Hourihane 5

Mendez-Laing 6

Barkhuizen 4

Collins 3

Subs from:

Sibley 4

Dobbin 6 play him cf use his pace

Forsyth 5

Rooney

Anang

Thompson

McGoldrick 5

If we're playing 2 up top, I'd go with CKR and TL.

Cocu is a much better manager and coach than Rooney - its as simple as that

Unfortunately we've got Rooney who's not very good and his job as manager is completely hindered by the financial mess the club has got itself into, ironically which he is a part of

It seems that it's going to be a long slow death, without much to cheer about along the way

Absolute rubbish

Rooney keeps saying we're playing his way this season, well so far it's no different to the garbage we served up last season. 

Too defensive, but not great at it. No flair or threat. 

It looks like we're playing for a 0-0 against a team that have conceded 7 in two games.

If this is the best we can do then we're in more trouble than I thought

I'm going ?

He's better than Joswiak can't believe there's no place for him 

Is that even legal under employment law? 

Seems unlikely to me

All we need now is Andy Carroll 

I wasn't meaning to knock Bird with my post.  I believe he's also a good player. 

Tom Carroll is a quality central midfielder. With all the chat on here about Bird not being good enough I'd have thought most people would be more than happy with this potential addition?

I think he'd be a great addition,  it's also positive that players of his quality are interested in joining.  

Can't see him doing anything above and beyond Sibley, invest in the future Derby

Very inpressed with Jota tonight

Ulloa at £1.7m seems incredibly cheap for a 1-in-2ish striker at championship level

Assombolonga is banging goals in again. ...

Wickham loan
