Freddie off ? 500k ?

Why would we want to keep a player who obviously doesn’t want to be here ?

Its the return of Binary Man, no situation too complex that can't be boiled down to childishly simplistic answer

It could also be that Lowe doesn't fancy him?

Gone to Rotherham

FREDDIE Ladapo has left Argyle to join Sky Bet League One Rotherham United.

The 26-year-old Londoner moves to the AESSEAL New York Stadium after a single prolific season at Home Park in which he scored 19 times for the Pilgrims, all but one of those goals coming in his 45 league appearances.

That form, following his move from Southend United last summer, attracted the attention of several clubs, with Rotherham eventually coming to the fore and sealing a deal after agreeing personal terms with Freddie.

Argyle Chief Executive Andrew Parkinson said: “We received a very good offer from Rotherham United for Freddie, who expressed a desire to join them.

“In those circumstances, we felt it would not have been right to stand in Freddie’s way of this chance for him to progress his career.

“We thank him for his contribution during his time at Home Park and wish him the very best for his future.”

Rotherham, eh? Maybe we can loan him back to bag ten in our last nine to get us up.

BBC reporting he has gone to RUFC for a fee of around £500,000 - i read elsewhere there are add-ons.

Not a bad profit for Argyle, I wonder how much Lowe will be given from that to strengthen the side ?.

All the best to him at RUFC, I expect they will be there, or there abouts come May '20.

League One looks a tough old one this coming term, just a tragic shame Argyle ain't part of it.

I saw reports that it was £500k possibly rising to £650k depending on goals/ promotion. Apparently he's Rotherham's record transfer signing.

Linked with Portsmouth Sunderland and Forest. Signs for Rotherham! Think his agent's done a cracking job in "creating" interest in a journeyman CF who was a freebie twelve months ago. He might well get Kevin Nancekivell the Newcastle job on the back of his "undefeated as a manager" record. Wonder if Ladapo's previous club had a sell on clause? Or did they think he wasn't worth it?

for a geezer with his height, shocking header of the ball - take the money and run!!

Seems like good money but, of course, you know they will sell him in the January window for £2.5m and we'll all be slashing our wrists

I don’t know who Rotherham’s creative players are, but Ladapo was spoilt rotten by having Carey and Lameiras supply him this year. He was comically bad at the start of last season with some of his misses, but I hope it works out for him.

We need to sign players now. And fast.

At least thats done with now Ladapo leaving. Club did well t cash in on him now shame they never thought to do that with Bradly, Carey and Lamerias in their final year of their contracts.

I do hope Lowe is given the lionshare of whatever Ladapo went for he is goin gto need it building this squad with not just a the 4 bury players he will try and sign

Lol. The freed up wages will go toward the squad, Ladapo money will go straight to Bungoes budget, reckon its treble what Lowe will get.

Lol. Just reading about the guy likely to score the first goal tomorrow. At least I'm consistent.

Didnt we win the last time he did that?

Ipswich? First Mariner, now Lapado Walton and Camara-they're just a team of Argyle rejects!

It amusing reading everyone saying how we can spend on the team now, was in 2019 when we got relegated.

he went afterwards and we got promoted the next season via the assist from covid 19

His departure didnt piss me off as much as Ryan Edwards one did when all the backing and support the fans and club gave him during his cancer treatment and recovery hailing him a great defender despite being shit and was carried by Bradley he was the first to announce he was off the day after we got relegated.

Same old faces

Scores twice in the first 15 minutes against Del bhey and his bheys.

Cnut

More than 90 points will be needed for automatic promotion this season. Think that will be too big an ask for Argo.

Not so sure we need 1.7 points per game to achieve 93 points which would mean roughly winning all our home games and lose all games away, cant see it happening tbh, we have averaged 2.1 points per game so far, added to that not only would we have to drop .4 of a.point per game and Ipswich would need to raise their points per game by roughly the same margin to make up their ten point deficit. Ipswich have so far achieved 1.9 points per game. Derby could be another threat but they have more points to make up and I can't see a collapse like last season simply caused by losing 3 key players (including the useless Pan).

18 games to play, win 9, draw 4, lose 5 ---92 points. Not an impossible target.

Ipswich etc would need to win 11 and lose just three to match that.


But we win 11 (98 points) Ipswich would need 14 wins 2 draws and just two defeats-can anyone see them getting that?
