New Player

Quote Sparksy

I understand a player may have signed just before 5pm and we are awaiting confirmation.

Enoch Showumni

Sounds like a panic buy

ENOCH Showunmi has agreed to join Argyle on loan from Notts County - subject to Football League approval.

You can't deny we need somebody, Allesandra is a big miss. From what I remeber of Showumni he's a big lump of a forward, he's not pacy is he? As long as he knows where the goal is it will be good, let's see.

Yeah I'm guessing long ball to a target man is rgoing to be the way

He's hardly prolific.

Didn't see that one coming

Best chant in football set up for the Green Army.

Do tell.

Good luck to him but it does sound an awful lot like bottom of the barrel scraping.Hardly gives a thumping endorsement to the intention of a real promotion push when two players are signed after unproductive spells with clubs more than 10 places below Argyle in the league table and makes you wonder about the present and future financial reality at HP.Still,i hope that turns out to be a harsh and unfounded judgement and Enoch has a very successful stay at the club.

Pointless - play Morgan. We've not got many games left. What must Tyler Harvey think too? Absolutely pointless. We can play one up front if we need to.

I see his league debut was against Argyle. It's an omen. Of what I dunno.

Player of the season for Tranmere. He may do a good job for us - especially if he works well with Roooooooben. At 6' 5" he's certainly a big bugger.

Think it involves some kind of third leg.

Could work out OK. I hope he'd be used primarily to take defenders off Reid, give them an even bigger headache so Reid can do his thing more freely. I hope his arrival doesn't signal a change in style.

I can see Tyler Harvey sticking two fingers up to Sheridan and walking in the summer and damn sad it will be too.

No rivers of blood, no throwing in of the towel,
Our chap Showumni, is better than Powell.

Fore fookin shore.

i remember his debut, awful.

Committed a bad foul wasn't booked by about 5mins later got booked when he should have been sent off then substituted.

Hope he's improved !!!!

So what does this say?

Is Morgan not fully match fit, so we bring in another giant? Or do we want two tall target men?
They are not exactly replacements for Alessandra are they.

Alright player but totally not what Argyle need at all.

Mind you, I am sure if what Argyle need was there, Sheridan would have signed him instead.

Reid to play off Showumni then, 4-4-2 and putting 3-5-2 in the bin?

Bit of a let down for Marvin Morgan, looks like he won't see much action in the last 7 games now.

If he can hold the ball up he's worth signing. If not, then he isn't. Time will tell.

Not bothered about Morgan not getting much action, he's not good enough.

I don't see why Reid can't play off Showumni in a 3-5-2. ES holds the ball up, allows RR can find space and to allow advanced runners from the midfield to push up a bit more.

If however ES is as much of a pinball machine as Morgan is, then it won't work.

I thought the 'Spanish' played pinball and that was state of the art?

I mean as in he's got an awful touch/technique. It bounces off his foot and god knows where it goes after that. One touch passing is a different kettle of fish altogether.

Hey, maybe he should head for Spain, he might get lucky and make himself look good?

Wouldn't bet on it
