If there was a deal done for Curtis or any other player before Christmas they'd have changed clubs on 1 January. If anyone believes an ever so slightly tongue in cheek 500k post on OVF I'm happy to sell them the Eiffel Tower for a bargain 25k today.

If you can chuck in leaning tower of pisa you've got a deal

Assuming we did get the Eiffel Tower along with the £600k, where would it go?  Can’t see this one being true now the Lemmy statue is in place, so I just think it’ll be the rumoured £700k, plus a few add ons.

I heard it was to replace Faal

They haven't used the bandstand in the park for years. 

Think the Curtis deal works for all parties, Vale get an amount of money for a 29 year old high earner who wasn't getting a start and had 18 months left on his deal, Plymouth get good player when played in the right position, Ronan gets to step off the Titanic before it hits a league 2 shaped iceberg. 

Maybe the answer is to sign Marvin Johnson till at least summer and play him further forward? He's certainly shown he's got enough left in the tank even at 35 years old.

I heard we’re buying Faal with a chunk of the £900k Curtis money.

Not sure the Eiffel Tower would make a good bandstand.  Last time I visited the acoustics were crap.  We could possibly chop it down a bit, put some led lamps on top.  The floodlight in the corner of the Hamil is crap.

Lots of talk on PASOTI, regarding Curtis, however posters aren’t sure if it’s our Curtis or Curtis Nelson. Staffordshire lad, ex Plymouth player with a Janner wife. Also some rumour that Nelson might be going MK. Someone else has posted that Plymouth have missed a payment for Tolaj, if that’s true I don’t think they’ll be allowed to sign any other players.

Should be a lot left over

According to Vale whispers who are a new account as they only joined X last month the deal has been completed even though it hasn't officially been confirmed yet.

I certainly would send Brown back to Derby. The lad isn't even making matchday squads anymore and just don't see the purpose to keeping him around. As unpopular as it might be I can see him keeping hold of Faal though, he had Tyreece Simpson at Northampton and might see him as a similar profile of player.

Agreed on Plant. His loan is up this month and to be honest I'd offer Yeovil the opportunity to make it permanent, maybe just say no fee but have a sell on clause for him. I blame all of Crosby, Flitcroft and Moore mostly for it but he's been shunted around the lineup so match he's never developed a position as his primary one and in all honesty I think L2 is his ceiling. Shorrock I'd recall and send back out elsewhere, this was a ridiculous loan in the first place to be honest. Don't necessarily disagree regards Garrity but I do wonder if he'd even pass a medical elsewhere right now so expect he'll see his contract out.

Garrity is a sad one but I felt his main attribute was his athleticism, I just don't think his technical ability was ever league one standard, and his injuries appear to have robbed him of some of that athleticism which makes it difficult to justify his place in the team. Shorrock I would certainly keep but like you say he needs a decent loan just to add experience to the qualities he already has. Faal has something but he is too frustrating for me I don't mind a rough diamond but I don't see the value in polishing someone else's rough diamond and paying for his mistakes along the way. Plant could have been a decent player he showed that when he first came into the team but yes, we have ruined him.

I read about that missing payment last night and then I have seen these 2 comments from Vale fans also from last night so it sounds like Plymouth haven't actually paid us the £1.2M yet and if that is the case surely the deal and contract is null and void. In fact it even says when a team misses a payment to a player it can lead to penalities for the club involved such as immediate registration embargoes (such as the banning of new player signings) and the involvement of governing bodies or legal action. So, if Plymouth have indeed missed a payment for Tolaj or to us which is sounds like they have done then it doesn't bode at all well on their part. I also now seriously question that if it is indeed true that Plymouth haven't paid us the £1.2M if we are ever going to receive it from them.

I wouldn't argue with that.
