Wozzer Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) By Hardy on BBC website. No agreement yet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...tic/7214946.stm Argyle bid for Oldham's Trotman Oldham Athletic have confirmed they have received an undisclosed offer from Championship side Plymouth Argyle for defender Neal Trotman. Latics chief executive Alan Hardy revealed to BBC Radio Manchester the Devon club had made an approach but no fee had been agreed. Newspaper reports claimed Argyle had offered £350,000 for the 20-year-old. The Pilgrims broke their club transfer record by signing Cardiff striker Steve MacLean earlier this month.

RoytonBlueLad Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Come on Latics have some goolies, give him a decent deal and tell 'em where to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 At the end of the day I suppose they’ll bid what they are prepared to pay, I can’t see us just accepting any offers without some haggling. If whatever they have bid is so low compared to his, “real,” value, surely that would alert the other clubs watching Trotters to a bargain?

Alec1954 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 OK, we want him to stay.. but Hazelle is a great replacement. And if we are only getting 4,500 crowds and losing £14k a week, hands up who wants us to enter Administration again? with the Cup Run and a wedge from Trotts that may be steadying hand we need. Just hope that now a bid has been received, it may alert some bigger bidders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sounds like he's off to me, great there goes our only threat from corners! Fair enough if we get a good price for him but we need to bring players in not ship them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope that now a bid has been received, it may alert some bigger bidders. Can appreciate what you're saying, but what if Hazell gets injured? Who have we got to cover him? IF we were making positive noises about getting players in, then maybe we wouldn't be so jittery, also, centre back is not one of the areas Sheridan is looking to strengthen. At the moment, it's looking like one out, none in. Not ideal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oa_exile Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The little problem that Latics have is that his contract is up at the nend of the year ............ another Porter looming ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayzmint Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 The little problem that Latics have is that his contract is up at the nend of the year ............ another Porter looming ? Agreed and we need to learn from that debacle. If Trotman stays, we need to get his contract extended immediately. But maybe his head will have been turned by the attention and he may decide to try his luck come the close season. Again, it's a slightly 'no-win' for Latics. I think he'll go.

Guest oa_exile Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 He couldn't go on a free though could he? No but better to thrash out the deal now as go to a Tribunal in the summer "IF" he wants a move or as i posted earlier the Porter scenario.....or get him to sign a new contract now ! The Irony is that it is Argyle again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is of course the possibility that Trotters doesn't actually WANT to leave. He may well be enjoying his time here and may be happy to continue to develop until either we go up/a bigger club than Plymouth come in for him. Hell, he might just not fancy being 300 miles away from his family all week. Meanwhile I agree, if he doesn't go then we must extend his contract to cover our backs.

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Why hasn't he been offered a new deal yet? Surely the club new when he started playing well around October/November that he was out of contract at the end of the season and should have moved to tie him up for longer! I didn't want to have to change my avatar twice this month! Edited January 29, 2008 by Bring Back Pukka Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAV Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 IF.......... he wants to go then a large wad of cash and Rory Fallon would do for me.......If he wants to stay he should sign a new contract A.S.A.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie82 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 They have just made their record signing for £500k from Cardiff, i suggest they should be looking at matching that for us to sell him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boothebigrad Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I wan't him to stay put but he may go in the summer and you have to understand the position the club is in: if we can strike a deal for trotters whereby we get a wad and possibly some loan deals or someone coming the other way, we then have 3 other options to partner stammy at CB, albeit 2 are crocked but can't be far off returning!? That's loads of central defenders and what chance do we have of selling gregan or thompson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 MONEY OVA BITCHES. I hope he doesn't just go where the money is, show some loyalty Neal! Sign a new deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's loads of central defenders and what chance do we have of selling gregan or thompson? Gregan may be out for the rest of the season, Thompson hasn't exactly inspired confidence...and who else have we got to cover in the centre? We really don't need to be pressurized in any other areas of the field. We haven't even covered the areas already identified for strengthening! Maybe money and loans are the only way.

Big bustling forward! Just depends what cash we'd get on top. Fallon cost Plymouth 300k this time last year, a then record signing, but Blake has kept him out this year.
