If he’s good enough, of course it doesn’t matter how old he is. The problem is we don’t know if he is good enough. And the problem with his age is that if he isn’t good enough, its much less likely that he will develop into a players that could be good enough in the future. Lets say Azaz gets a loan next season in the championship and he fails to impress. Do we cut our losses on him then? Well the club is far more likely to do that compared to if he was only say 19 years of age. The odds of a 24 year old player suddenly improving from not being good enough for the championship to being good enough for a pl club like us just isn’t very high.

Moved to Aston Villa aged 29 and did OK for himself. To the point, he probably played the best football of his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 It depends on what role we want him to play, to ascertain whether he is good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I didn't see much of the game and missed the last twenty minutes completely, but from what I did see he had a relatively quiet game, nearly scored and could have had a few assists though, maybe he did more in the moments I didn't see. I see he missed his penalty in the shoot-out as well. Plymouth made a lot of changes left out a lot of their better players which maybe evened things up a little. Still good that they're through and a chance hopefully for him to play at Wembely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister_a Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Missed a pen in the shootout, hit post according to match reports from local paper online. No other mention apart from being fouled. Can’t see the first half commentary on there though. https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/football/plymouth-argyle-vs-cheltenham-live-8169761#1380367 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to their potential Put it this way. Argyle were given 40,000 tickets. I have priority ticketing after season ticket holders only (they were allowed to buy multiple tickets). Best seats we could get were category 5 out of 6 and we're sat in the top tier. I'd guess 30-35k tickets already sold before going on general sale. I grew up in Devon so like to keep an eye on the club. I saw them take over 1000 fans to a Tuesday night game in Crewe which is great for League One. Stadium is 16.5k capacity. Genuinely think they are one of the biggest clubs (potential wise) outside the top flight in terms of support and catchment area and probably the biggest to have never been top flight. Looking likely they'll be promoted to the Championship this season. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin's dating one of their players and although he's played for several League One clubs at point, she was saying Argyle feels like the "biggest" club he's been at - apparently there's quite a strong following in the local area and quite a lot of devoted fans. I guess it must be a one club town round there. Plus in general it just sounds like a nice club to play for (not too many bellends around apparently). So probably quite a good environment to send players on loan to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So probably quite a good environment to send players on loan to! Exeter is probably their biggest competition but that's still 40 odd miles away. They then have Yeovil and Tiverton etc so not much competition. Probably the biggest club South West of Bristol. Of fans who would support local clubs (a lot of top flight fans down there) they can probably claim all of Cornwall, maybe 2/3 of Devon and maybe bits of Somerset and Dorset. So maybe between 500k and 1m potential fans. Biggest selling point would be the economic expats as a lot of people move up country for work. Does seem to be a buzz around them at the moment, they're doing well, investing in the squad and infrastructure. There's probably people on here closer to them then me though.

Yeah, would be great to see them come up and Azaz to go back for another season. Can't be easy hopping around teams in loan spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
