Yep bet he would have bagged a couple against Millwall in the first half

And also bagged a couple against the Albion in the second half

isn't Barry Hayles the one that used to be a bricklayer, possibly he's being lined up in a dual role, he can play and lay the foundations for falmer for us during his days off.

That was Geoff Horsfield.

We are one of 3 teams currently in discussion with Barry Hayles, along with QPR and Luton. Hayles has been frozen out falling out with Colin Lee, despite their need for goals (sound familiar?).

They will be offloading him in January, as a replacement has apparently been lined up.

Could that replacement be Leon Knight, and we get Barry Hayles in a swap deal?


Personally, i'd be pretty pleased with that, as unlike our other strikers, Hayles has a proven goalscoring record at this level and higher. Ok, so he's not young, it's not a deal for the long term, but Leon isn't here for the long-term either, so it sounds like a good deal to me.

In a less than obvious way, todays transfer does bear out what my source told me, because my "mole" is at QPR and Ollie was showing interest. An interest he has maintained, and now signed him at Argyle.

From the BBC.
Millwall's Hayles moves to Argyle

Hayles made over 50 appearances for Millwall in two seasons
Plymouth have completed the signing of striker Barry Hayles from Millwall for a reported fee of £100,000.
The 34-year-old, who worked under manager Ian Holloway at Bristol Rovers, has signed a two-year contract.

And Hayles said: "It's a pleasure to work with Ian Holloway. He's an honest gentleman and it will be great to work with him again.

"Ollie is great at showing you the bigger picture and my mind was made up as soon as I spoke to him."

If a 34 year old striker fetches £100k, no wonder we haven't brought in one of the "household names" yet

The price tag is a bit horrifying isn't it.

Still, presumably we had the cash available earlier in the year, and should still have some of it now.....

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Hayles was a decent enough striker, but £100k at 34 is ridiculous. He'll probably do all right at Plymouth, couldn't be any worse than Micky Evans

 

[blockhseagull]

That seems a heck of alot of money
