Transfer targets

Door shut on Jack Clarke

Plymouth Argyle asked and Ipswich Town said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout

Mathias Ross: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Plymouth Argyle have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Plymouth Argyle walk away from Adam Webster

$1.7M was the most the club would pay and Brighton were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Boardroom

Jason Bailey signs on for the long haul

Plymouth Argyle moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Jason Bailey, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Plymouth Argyle

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Transfer targets

Plymouth Argyle make their move for Orlando Mareco

$89.0K on the table at Cardiff City. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Real improvement from Jack Matthews at Plymouth Argyle

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Jack Matthews is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Plymouth Argyle

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Plymouth Argyle promote John Hunter from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. John Hunter has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
