Player Suggestion Graham Carey

[MobileBlade]

Little fish in a big pool, or big fish in a little pool, "nah I'll stay were I am thanks,in the little pool"

He's not a big fish, he's not a big fish. He's not even a fish.

Bollocks.
I wanted him more than Holmes.
Ah well fuck him and his lack of ambition.

 

[Devon Boy]

Well that's a relief for us chaps, thought he was nailed on for you boys, anyway best of luck for 17/18

Passed his medical but failed the beard hygiene test.

 

[B14Nco]

The 'apparently passed a medical and turned down a contract' looks like it came from the same kid that spouted all the Jags bullshit.

He 'might' have been a target but probably as with the majority of crap at this time of year will probably have been a load of rubbish anyway.

Apparently crumbs from a pasty lodged in his beard!
There's chat about him having had a medical for you chaps, any truth in that

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

I have a feeling this was a red herring and Holmes is on the brink of signing. Apparently on Charlton forums. Admittedly I haven't searched to confirm as I'm fucked if I'n doing Roygbivs job for him.

No it's come from an 'aspiring' journalist kid on twitter who originally made a story up about it being nailed on and then backtracked by saying they couldn't agree personal terms, no substance to the rumour whatsoever

 

[Davalon]

From an Argyle supporter...



Most likely bullshit...

Maybe failed is spelled 'passed' in Devon

Not quite

Holmes as started talks on a new Charlton deal

I don't think there is anything in either. Let's keep our powder dry until some young loans are available and when we might have some walker cash available.

Robinson quoted as saying about two ago that he will be sitting down to discuss a new contract with. Also said he will do whatever he can to convince him to stay and was confident that he will stay

We'll see, but it aint looking good

You don't go for a medical and then get an offer to turn down. It doesn't work like that.

What a gigantic waste of time that could be if it did

Depends which side of the fence you sit on. I don't want him and think we already have better options elsewhere.

Fair doos

I am for the signing because Wilder is for the signing and has managed him before

On that basis, he must feel he can make the step up and that's good enough for me

I haven't seen enough of the fella to form a good opinion

The guy chose charlton over us when he was available on a free. He's nearly 30 and people want us to spend close to 1m to sign him.

Last season wilder put players into 3 brackets

Free
Short term
Long term with value

Which bracket is Holmes in with no resale value?

I think wilder played his card early on this one by naming him because he knew he wasn't going to pay anywhere near what charlton want to let's move on. Charlton didn't budge so let's see if charlton spending spree required that money

Where's the "nearly £1m" come from? The only valuation that matters is Wilders

I can't answer your question regards which bracket he is in. The only thing that matters is that Wilder wants to sign him (it seems)

Well it's Thursday so one day to go before we find out

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Ceefax thingy sez Carey has signed improved deal with PAFC

It'll be on Teletext tomorrow then (between the holiday adverts), and in the Star some time next month.

This internet! It will never catch on.

 

[Pinchy]

Fucking Hell. Once again we've missed out on a player we weren't after. This happens far too often.

Gage Out!

 

[I should coco]

Gage Out!

Whilst you may have the essential comic rhyming between word and picture, there is a serious spelling error here. Of course it could be McCabe penny pinching again and nicking all the letter 'u's.

Kevin Gauge will have to change his name then, obvs.

The same bracket as Jake wright mark duffy and leon clarke!!! I personally would have much rather have had carey but that's gone. BUT its leonard who is most urgent. Not fussed either way about Holmes

 

[Davalon]

Done well there. Wrong twice in one sentence

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Despite him not signing I do think it's heartening when a club can actually hold on to a player they clearly want to keep.

Hate we teams go up and then just get ripped apart by vultures - especially as it would have been on a free.

 

[Booker4]

You don't go for a medical and then get an offer to turn down. It doesn't work like that.

What a gigantic waste of time that could be if it did

Aye you'd only do your medical if you agreed personal terms, surely! Anyway, although I would have liked him we have no idea how interested we were and fair play to him for showing some loyalty to Plymouth, as I'm sure he would have had other offers. I would have loved it if Jamie Murphy had done the same when he was with us! Not that I blame him for leaving but its unusual that players turn down a move higher up, assuming there was interest from the Championship.

Alan Knill says he knew nothing about Carey and we were never in for him.

Meltdown averted.

Agreed, it's absolute horseshit. Offers are agreed to subject to satisfactory medical. Who said otherwise?

I think some people were just showing their inexperience of playing Football Manager.
