Are Argyle the biggest losers in the transfer window?

This is an argument that is being made by some analysts.   Given their financial crisis, Argyle needed to raise as much cash as possible and were open to offers for any of their players. Big earners Bradley Wright-Phillips and Reda Johnson both moved for undisclosed fees.  In the case of Wright-Phillips it was probably just about enough to pay off the club’s tax debt.


However, this debt has apparently not been paid yet, so the club is still operating under a transfer embargo and faces its next court hearing on February 9th.

The one transfer day departure was 19-year-old midfielder Sean Kinsella, who signed for Maltese Premier League club Hibernians after his contract was cancelled by the Pilgrims.   Joe Mason turned down a move and Onismor Bhasera failed a medical at Blackpool, much to the frustration of the Plymouth board.
