ARGYLE manager Paul Sturrock has denied rumours of a rift with Belgian striker Emile Mpenza.
Luggy did, however, admit that he is keeping his options open as the transfer window draws to a close but suggestions that the pair have fallen out is way off the mark.
Mpenza's time at Argyle has been hampered by a series of niggling injuries and consistent match-fitness has so far eluded him.
"There is a lot of conjecture and rumour going about at the minute - he and I have never fallen out once," said Luggy.
"I have got to do what is best for the football club, what is best for myself and obviously what is best to win football games.
"At this minute in time, I don't feel that Emile is up to match-fitness. He won't be in the squad for Saturday and we will take a considered view after the window closes on Monday.
"We had a conversation about things today and, like any football club, I have to look at the scenario of services rendered to the club by Emile due, unfortunately, to injuries and situations that arose through the season.
"I have got to balance the books as well and concentrate on budgets. I have decided to go down two roads.
"One, to get him fit, so if he is here after the window, I can get him closer to being available, while at the same time allowing him to see if there is anything out there that would benefit him."
