Back in for Morgan Whittaker? 08:40 - Jun 12 with 13595 views | tractorboy1978 | It wouldn't surprise me at all. I think he had bigger fish to fry in January but he didn't have a great end to the season so wonder if interest from the likes of Lazio and more established PL clubs has cooled. Expect Rooney will want to sign a few and Plymouth will have to fund that via a player sale. First 30 games last season - 17 goals, 7 assists Last 15 games last season - 2 goals, 1 assist We know he is a player we have a longish term interest in and we like going back for players we've identified and tried to get previously. |  | | |  |

Back in for Morgan Whittaker? on 08:51 - Jun 12 by bluejacko | Unless he has had a complete backtrack on his opinion of us I would think it’s unlikely. |
What opinion? Choosing his loan club instead of coming here. People do get over sensitive over things like this. |  | |  |

Back in for Morgan Whittaker? on 10:41 - Jun 12 by BiGDonnie | He only signed permanently for Plymouth in the Summer previous so was at the club (contracted) about 6 months. Bit harsh to say he wouldn't be committed to the cause should he sign here. |
The new model is that we have a player fund and it is designed to make profit from sales that a re reinvested. It was how we funded Whittaker and Mumba so as with any of our players they are for sale if the profit is sufficient to allow us to reinvest and improve the squad. There are whispers that he and Rooney have issues going back to his Being subbed as a sub but I would be surprised if that was an issue still. We still have three years on his contract. He obviously wanted to come down to Argyle and has thrived. Our Chairman also has spoken of the clubs need to make sure that as and when we sell we do so with his interests in mind as well. He thought kazoo was not a good deal for Mw. We also have a chunky sell on to Swansea to take into account So yes he could go this summer. Part will depend on who we can bring in to play that role assuming Wazza keeps the same system. He seems to be a player who needs to feel loved. As for lazy I would say no but second half of the season he was double marked a lot and people were clued up to the cut in and shoot routine Looking at the names we have been linked with I think there is a plan to bring in a young similar player and bring them on to replace him so I would say next season more likely than this for a sale. But if someone drops a silly number on the table then would we sell? absolutely if we can replace. Should start to heat up next week. Looking forward to seeing your new players list. And to being able to enjoy you winning again. Assuming you do! As for us. Fifteenth here we come ! |  | |  |
Back in for Morgan Whittaker? on 11:53 - Jun 12 with 2763 views | Marshalls_Mullet | I think he would be a great signing. 19 goals (no pens) in a struggling Championship side!! Pretty much one in two ratio. 8 assists in a struggling Championship side. Not always played as a striker, which makes those stats even more impressive. Also plays AMC and RW. Only 23 years old. I think KM would develop him into a fantastic player!! |  |

Back in for Morgan Whittaker? on 10:39 - Jun 12 by cressi | Not for me not sure he has the work rate required. Also we went up with the championships 2nd best players based on league position. Don't think we want a load of championship players incoming 4 max. We need some top flight experience to help get us over the line. |
On what basis do you think his work rate is poor? To get 27 goal contributions in a side fighting relegation, I would think you would need a good work rate. |  |

Good intel. As we have seen in the past, if a Prem club comes in, I suspect he would push for a move. Allowing players to move on is also good for the model that you have. I suspect at 23 hes the right age to be getting max value. Especially after the season hes had. |  |

Back in for Morgan Whittaker? on 13:22 - Jun 12 with 2605 views | itfcjoe | Got some serious quality as a player, his goal record and assist record shows that and I thought at Portman Road earlier this season he was superb on and off the ball. But at their place he looked disinterested, and the game passed him by. Physically and athletically he has the attributes, technically he is good enough - just concerns over the mentality in terms of both decision making on the ball and in being a team player off the ball. I certainly think he has it in him to be a PL player, but it's always a risk when someone hasn't shown what you need them to at one club to expect him to be able to do it at the next club. |  |

Back in for Morgan Whittaker? on 13:54 - Jun 12 with 2523 views | IPSWICHFANITFC | He's had 1 1/2 good seasons back to back now with the other half not being great at all (at Swansea). I would personally rather persist with Omari and pay what Chelsea are after to get him. I'd then follow that up with Jack Clarke before looking at Whittaker. |  |

And I don't think mentality can be underestimated in a KMac team. Although we are incredibly fluid, we are reliant on the players inteligence to stick to the system when it comes to knowing when to press or drop in and cover, dependent on who else has gone to press. Burns, Hirst and Chaplin are very effective at it so I am sure that will be a big factor when it comes to recruitment. |  | |  |

Jack Clarke on the left and Hutch/Burns on the right would be tasty. |  | |  |

I only watched 3 or 4 Plymouth games plus games against us Just people's views but Omari much better out of position than Whittaker then I was surprised when Villa bought Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough for the type of money they paid who knows. |  | |  |

Yep, and that's the hardest thing to judge whether they do have the football intelligence to fit in to our complicated game model - and probably why McKenna favours players from top academies |  |

I think it would be negligent to favour 'top academies', when you think about how many of the top players come through EFL academies. Of the initial England 33; Jordan Pickford Aaron Ramsdale Jarrad Branthwaite Lewis Dunk Joe Gomez Ezri Konsa Harry Maguire Luke Shaw John Stones Kyle Walker Adam Wharton Jude Bellingham Jarrod Bowen Eberechi Eze James Maddison Ivan Toney Ollie Watkins |  |

He's 23, hes hardly going to have a huge back catalogue of work! Sunderland fans seem to think Clarke is a one trick pony. |  |

I would agree that Omari is a better player, but I dont think its a case of one or the other necessarily. |  |

Unpopular opinion possibly but over time it could well be more of a Jack Clarke - Omari - Burns with Chaplin's role being reduced slightly. That isn't a dig on Chaplin either - he's a great player and 'gets it' what McKenna asks of him in that role, but so does Burns and I think Burns will be quite important next season. He's hard to replace like for like which meant we had to switch up how we played a little bit when Omari was on the right. |  |

He's done it consistently in the Championship for two seasons now. Not sure why Burnley explored other options last summer but he's got quality and would be a smart buy. He's also an upgrade on Broadhead who himself will probably lack that athleticism in the Premier League but with his chance to show he can handle it, I'm here to be proven wrong as he's a gifted player technically. |  |

Omari, Whittaker, Clarke & Diaz to compete with Chappers, Burns, B'head and Hurst. Happy days. |  |

He was a very selfish attacking player, basically playing with the defensive responsibility of a striker. In the modern game as we've proved, not being the striker doesn't make his stats more impressive when he was their main attacking focus. Which he definitely wouldn't be here and his defensive game doesn't stack up for what we will need. |  | |  |

Easy as that. All seem realistic, with Omari being the big question mark. |  |
