A little birdie tells me that Swansea don’t see him returning to play 1st team football and need money for January transfer targets, so any move would be a purchase and not a loan. Valuation sits at £1.5 million to £2 million so he is well within our sights from a valuation perspective and there has definitely been “serious interest” from Ipswich.
Looks like this could be more realistic than previously thought on here. |  |

A goal and 2 assists so far today (20 mins left?) I think he should be our primary target for this window. |
Can't see it being done unless Swansea are desperate for cash.
I still would like to see us go get JCH.
If it can't be whit. At least get JCH.
Just don't fk about following someone and lose out on the 31st Jan. |  |

I just can’t see JCH being achievable, contracted for another 18 months or so, top scorer in the league, pivotal to Peterborough this season and earning around £6k to £7k a week, I just don’t see how we could afford him within the constrains of SCMP and if I were them, I wouldn’t sell him. Realistically, only a Championship team could afford the sort of bid to pry him away IMO | |

The same way we afforded Davis and the same way we'd afford a Whittaker etc.
I'm not saying it'll happen, but the owners can put money in if they want to so that's not an issue. |  |

Davis was what, £1million? Whittaker is estimated around £1.5million to £2million, JCH they'd be wanting stupid money for, maybe £4million stupid and the player would want a load more wages on top, can't see it happening, goes against everything McK and Ashton have said about how they conduct business and also, given ages and future potential etc, Whittaker would be the best buy of the 2 IMO. | |

Already signed a Kiwi and also had a bid rejected for Harvey Knibbs today, seem to be in a bit of a rush to buy forwards don't they? Given the rather less confident discussion on Whittaker post match today, I wonder if they know a little more than they're letting on? | |

Hi Guys,
I can confirm that MW will not be an Ipswich player this season. Sorry :)
He has nothing to gain by moving to PR. Read his interviews he’s playing his best football and he loves the manager and the team. He gets nothing extra by moving to Ipswich.
If Swans recall him, it will be to fight for a place there. I’ve seen on here mumbling about Swansea having financial difficulties, that’s not the case.
All the best Dan A.R. |  | | |

Lols, If Swansea think he isn’t good enough for the championship or they fancy spending £2m on another player to strengthen then he is gone, maybe not to us but absolute certainty not to you.
He will gain some stability and the chance to get into the Champsionship with us and quite possibly a pay rise, oh and I don’t know if you have ever been to Plymouth but….
I don’t think anyone said Swansea have financial difficulties, just they may fancy some cash to spend. [Post edited 1 Jan 2023 22:54]

I think some have claimed Swansea need money in before they can spend in this window. | |

Oh for goodness sakes, I was completely taken in by Swansea’s announcement of great interest in a Rotherham striker only 3 days ago (that they tried to sign in the last window) the stumbling block being the £2 million price tag and the fact that they’d been told they had to sell players to raise funds for new transfers, those naughty tinkers were pulling our legs eh? I mean, they must be, where could they get there hands on £2 million for a transfer they desperately want to make?  | |

Greetings from sunny Plymouth!
One reason not covered in this thread is Swansea’s delight with Argyle. No one had heard of MW until this season and he spent an uninspiring season at Lincoln last year.
Swansea want to see the player he is in the summer and realise they may end up with the league 1 player of the year on their hands. It might not work out at Ipswich. He’s effective as we play with two 10s and 2 wide players. That’s one reason he gets so much space.
MW most certainly doesn’t want to leave…and has been told of the disgraceful behaviour Ladapo engaged in when here as things went against him. They man really is in it for himself. | | | |

OK, you keep Whittaker because we're a crap club with horrible players. We get it. Not sure how many Plymouth fans have to come on here saying the same thing.
On a politer note, great season for yourselves so far. I think most of us want you to go up with us but we're getting nervous about own prospects. | |

I guess given the amount of threads about Plymouth on here today, I assume he mistook this for the Argyle forum. | | | |

I have huge respect for your club - just not Ladapo. His attitude and behaviour in our league 1 relegation season still infuriates me.
Walton started out with us and Camara has recently left us…it would be greedy to have another from us….
We see your club as a Premiership club and can’t quite work out why you’re in league 1. I always thought of you as similar to Everton or Villa….and we are competing with you 🤷â€â™‚ï¸
We still have to play all of the top teams away from home so will stop plenty of points. We think playoffs are the most likely finishing spot for us….which we’d have been delighted with at the start of the season. | | | |

We are in league one because of pi55 poor... that's a long story.
Anyway, i watch you guys a bit - my second team really as I live in a cave on Dartmoor but one of the things that dragged us down here is poor investment in our team and our academy by our previous owner. That resulted in endless streams of loan players which are great when they work out - as yours are at the mo, but when they don't, or get snatched from you realise the benefits don't get you far in the end. Our reliance on loans in the past is a contributing factor to why we are here.
It is great now, all our players who will play tomorrow will be ours.
Remember you can pull that tidy girlfriend in the borrowed Porsche but she will walk away when it has to go back and you pick her up in the Yaris.
I hope you go up too, enormous respect for argyle and knew Sparksy really well - he interviewed me many times, sat on the couch with Natalie a few times too. | | | |

No that’s not correct…

No sense they have to sell before buying.
As said elsewhere, what you are missing is that he’s being developed at Argyle for Swansea in our style of play. He won’t flourish at PR, and he’s wise to that. As I said just read the interviews on what he’s said in the last couple of days. Or don’t. You’ll see. | | | |

GA75 didn’t say you were rubbish, just that MW thrived the way we play.
You’re right about horrible players though - well just Morsy and Ladapo the sulk.

No need for that.
Plymouth is a nice city. Wedged between the sea and a national park.
Have you been to the Barbican?
Not been to Ipswich - suspect like Plym it has good and bad.
If we get promoted, there’s every chance he’ll stay. He loves it down there.

Don't think I've ever heard a player say "I hate it here, this is the worst club I've ever played for, the dressing room is crap and the training facilities are rubbish"
This is all just standard player nonsense talk, they all talk bollox unless you hadn't noticed ;-) |  | | |

Funny - that’s almost word for word what Ladapo said.
;-)
Beat in mind, Many players say nothing. He’s been very vocal about his time at Argyle on a number of occasions even over the last few days. And in particular about Steven Schumacher.
Like I say he’ll only play once at PR this season. | | | |

Ultimately if we are interested and can agree with Swansea then he’d likely sign here - that’s football.
A player first and foremost looks to secure their own future - and if we were to offer what it takes and a commensurate contract then it is a big club showing faith in him that simply hasn’t happened at Swansea who seemingly signed him with no real plan.
Of course if Plymouth were able to get a few agreed with Swansea and were in same ballpark as us then you’d likely get him above us due to existing relationship |  |

As we saw last season with Bonne, Walton and Simpson these season long loans have to be renegotiated in January. If the parent club wants to play hard ball there's nothing that can be done. I'm sure Whittaker is very happy where he is, playing the best football of his career for a team that's top of the league. But there's a chance he won't be at Plymouth (or Ipswich) come the end of the month. |  | | |
