Seems we've been beaten to the signing of Marcus Browne by Middlesborough.
Karl Robinson has come out and said we matched them (and 3 other Championship clubs) in terms of fee and wages on offer and he has chosen to play at a higher level.
I'd call bullshit on every bit of that statement bar...
Ah right, just googled up on that.
I'm not sure a loan to Oxford affects the compensation fee for Columbus Crew though? Whether he joins us on loan for a season or not, Columbus want to pay less for him and Motherwell want more for him as far as i can tell?
I'm not entirely sure. We were interested in him at the same time as them, he joined them but they wanted to loan him straight out so i guess things just worked out?
So in your opinion/if you were in charge at Plymouth - you'd tell the manager he is not allowed to sign the players he wants (other than Mayor) and explain that instead you will be setting up a broad scouting network?
How will that help for the season coming? Presumably it will take time to A)...
