To some extent the majority of teams who get promoted (in the modern era) have invested money in hiring decent players and coaching staff. Or have retained them after relegation.
The reason the likes of Derby were mocked is because they simply hoovered up all the decent players available and still weren't able to put together a good enough squad to go up. |  |

No, if it works then great.
Every team is trying to buy their way out of the league. We just happen to have more resources than most at the moment. Under Evans we were told we couldn't compete with the top clubs in league one by Milne (I think). Not like money equals success anyway or we would have won the league last year. Plymouth didn't spend a fortune in the summer and they are top. |  |

Not if it works. Whatever it takes in my view. |  | | |

It’s called speculate to accumulate. If we don’t spend, we don’t get promotion and the investors don’t make the money they need |  |

I don't care.................but if it was another team we'd all be hoping they fail (ala Derby) haha
I thought we'd get one striker, but not 2! Excuse my ignorance, and its probably been done earlier today, but i'm guessing these two forwards are different kinds of players? | | | |

After years being run on shoestring, I can live with it. | |

Disagree.
£1million isn’t noting these day, inflation innit.
We’re sensible in our transfer approach not going all gung ho. |  |

Plymouth are taking a very sensible approach based on limited resources.
What they do have in the background that non of you have noticed are billionaires who hold a small stake in the club but will be the majority holders in time.
Money is available to spend on players and this includes loanes if they so require them.
It's no different to ipswich loaning players out, it's available for a reason and if a club can use that properly they will reap rewards.
Plymouth are a mediocre club with a fairly small stadium currently but will in time be extended to probably 25k, this will bring them more in line with other championship clubs. | | | |

Be interesting to know what our actual net spend ,on transfers is this season. Given that we got a hefty sell on from Downes move. And we got a bit for Simpson... Yeah we've spent on a few players and their contracts. But how much of that is in the red, being as we also off loaded a few contracts in the Summer.
Shrewd investments like Davis and the emergence of Humphreys will definitely be adding value to our squad assets.
Leigh, Ball, Ladapo and Luongo , all free transfers?
Books are probably a lot more balanced than some people think.
We've definitely spent some, for sure. But you have to invest to progress. Like I say, be interesting to know the net spend. I don't think the figure is as hefty as some people assume. Which is probably why we are able to go again in this window. [Post edited 8 Jan 2023 1:22]
