In the past 12 months, our owner and chairman has seen increasing criticism (some of it fair, particularly r.e. Foster), but it’s important to remember that Argyle would not be in the Championship without Hallett. He was even more important than Schuey. Here’s why 👇 #pafc

Wayne Rooney has now won more Championship games with Argyle than his entire spell at Birmingham, despite managing six fewer games. His current win rate is also comfortably the highest in his managerial career (36% v 28%, 26%, and 13%) #pafc

I love the ambition of some fans, but let's be real. The odds of us signing Cissoko are virtually zero unless we receive a £12.5m-ish bid for Whittaker to finance it, as it would surely cost over £5m, probably over £7.5m, to make the transfer permanent

I’ll be satisfied even if we lose today, so long as we aren’t outclassed. We came into this very tough run of games winless and impotent in attack. I just wanted us to avoid being cut adrift, which we have, and make improvements ahead of the easier run, which we absolutely have

Mentally debating how many points we need from these next five before the second intl. break. Given the fixtures, we'll likely still be in the bottom three, but shouldn't allow ourselves to be more than three points from safety before a kinder run of games, so probably 4 minimum

Personally, I like the look of Grimshaw. Areas for improvement, particularly attacking crosses it seems, but a good ball playing GK it seems for a £1.4m profit minimum (apparently) #pafc hopefully we see that money and remaining budget invested well over the season

Majority of whom have fewer than 50 careers starts at Champ level. This remains a very inexperienced team, hence the mistakes we've seen in games, but more gametime together and experience at this level should sort a lot of that out 🤞

Clearly a quality dribbler, but (like Tijani) thought they suit the tactics, he appears not to be the finished product, so hope to see them both grow throughout the season. One thing's for sure: we're going to have a lot more depth in attack this season than last! #pafc

So what if he would leave for the right club. So would most footballers. So did Cooper. Accept that loyal footballers can be ambitious too. Did our home-grown, title-winning keeper just pretend to care about the club all that time? No, he just had ambitions

Smart business, especially that it only runs until January, initially. No point committing that wage (a decent one, I’d imagine) for the season when they’re currently unlikely to start a single game #pafc

The implication for the footballing budget? Well, Argyle went from having one of the lowest footballing budgets in L1 in 2017/18 to one of the largest (including promotion bonuses, albeit) in 2022/23, yet still the most sustainable in the league #pafc

Wages for L1 linked to revenue with 5x differences between top and bottom. On average clubs paying out 82% of revenue in wages.

In the context of his contract, recent injury record, and factors above, £2m rising to £4m and a big sell on % is good value for money. Like it or not, the club seem to have negotiated quite well given the circumstances.

Cards on the table, my prediction is we’re only getting one of Baidoo or Al Hajj (I do think both look good signings on paper), not both, and, if so, Argyle are best off pushing for just Al Hajj given how Elfsborg clearly don’t want to sell, spend the rest elsewhere

Plymouth och Wayne Rooney vill ha Michael Baidoo. Nu väntar Elfsborgsstjärnan på samtalet från den engelske tidigare storspelaren. – Jag vill gärna prata med Rooney, säger Baidoo som kan ha gjort sin sista match för Elfsborg. – Jag har erbjudanden.

From an outside perspective looking in, Evatt seems to have tried to copy Schuey's 3-4-3 strategy from our title winning season, but it's not working. Imo, wrong players for that system. Too many playmakers, not enough dribblers/runners. Just becomes static, and pressable #bwfc

The £2m is just a rumour. One that, I should add, does not tally with weeks of rumours about a £3m transfer fee, so let’s not just take it as gospel and lose our shit. Reminder, the press reported Ladapo was £500k+, but our accounts show £1.1m transfer income that year #pafc

After thinking about it for a while, this is probably the tweak I'd suggest for Rooney's formation. The most important adaptations for me are: the extra attacker committed in the attacking phase; CAM occupying the centre; concentration of players on either flank #pafc

I've seen some interesting opinions on what Argyle need to do differently in the past few days, but I think Rooney needs to (and will) focus on doing the basics better. Evolution, not revolution, which we've seen in each league game this far #pafc

Sidenote, I know it's not as simple as purely adding extra goals on per-season, but I just watched every Argyle corner for the past 14 months. Cut me some slack. I'm going to dream (nightmare) of Argyle's set pieces for weeks.

My main thoughts on this rumour are that a) O’Rourke is more accurate than many are giving him credit for, even if he’s got plenty ‘wrong’ this summer b) however, I would expect more authoritative sources to be tweeting this as well if it were imminent. Time will tell #pafc
