Is Whittaker closing in on Plymouth Argyle return?

1m plus addons is fine with me provided that we put in a reasonable sell on fee (20% or so).
Just because a player doesn't work for our setup doesn't mean he won't thrive elsewhere (see Gyokeres) and can't earn a big money move later down the line

Why didn't we sell him in January?

Why didn't we sell him in January? Because it was felt he was needed in the squad in January, the board felt he should be playing a part in the squad, Martin thought otherwise, new manager comes in and may feel the £1m transfer fee allows us to bring in a better value replacement (I'd bet a replacement is announced soon, and we'll all be saying 'an upgrade on Whittaker, well done board, well done Duff')!

I'd say we've already signed his replacements with Yates and Ginelly.

The Americans and their games.

Officially done, no thanks or anything from us on the announcement article which is weird.

Not sure how you can congratulate the board. They have accepted an offer which is half the bid they rejected in January. Whittaker was happy at Plymouth and Martin was told by the board he was to be recalled. Martin was happy for Whittaker to stay at Plymouth. Their manager confirmed that. We should have either accepted the £2M from Rangers or let him stay at Plymouth until the end of the season where he having a great season. This would have increased his value. Instead Martin was left with an unhappy player who rarely played. This is poor management by the board and it has cost us financially.

Absolutely!

This was very inevitable he made it very obvious he'd rather be at plymouth months ago

When we turned down the Rangers bid we had just lost Obafemi as well.
We have different people making the decisions now.
Still need a left back and a keeper as well.

Well we hope we do.
