Window Gleaning

The mid-season transfer window will open on January 1, and the Argyle boss is already eyeing up targets he intends to pursue by way of augmenting his current roster. 

“We are looking trying to add to the squad,” said Derek. “It’s going to be a busy month, but not too bad. We would like to take in a number of players to compliment what we have here. 

“I don’t see it being too busy, but we will make signings in the window, because we need to strengthen the squad. If you look at the period where we had injuries, we did not have masses of depth, and we want to make sure we do towards the end do the season.

“We have a number of players we are looking at. It will probably be around two or three. Nobody will be in for the first of January, put it that way. But we have the month of January to do business, and we are already speaking to people. 

“We’re just looking to strengthen the team. I don’t want to go into specifics (about positions) at this moment in time because then people will draw conclusions.

“It’s important that you add a wee bit of quality to the squad, and that competitive edge. We certainly need that. We really need extra cover in some areas.”
