The deal's gone through then? Fairy nuff.


Path to the first team blocked by Bruno and Schelotto, said the linked article. Both of them no longer feature - if valued at £4.4M, could have been at least a back-up for Montoya? (although I agree that most on here want Montoya to be the back-up to somebody else).

Plymouth Argyle have handed a trial to Ben Barclay, the 22-year-old centre back recently released by Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion.

As reported by their official website, the defender has been given a chance to prove his worth in the south-west after his release by Graham Potter’s side. He made just one appearance for the Seagulls, in the EFL Cup, as well as three outings for their Under 21 side in the EFL trophy.

A loan move to Notts County followed where he appeared 13 times but was unable to prevent them from slipping out of the Football League. He returned to Brighton having missed the final two matches of the season following a suspension for a red card.

However, Lowe confirmed to Plymouth Live that he would not now be heading to the Wetscountry after accepting a contract offer elsewhere.

"Ben didn't come. He was due to come yesterday, but I think he has signed for a League One club, so fair enough," Lowe said.

"We were going to take a look at him, but we weren't in a position to offer him a deal and a League One club has offered him a deal, so he has stayed with them, so fair play. We wish him all the best."

This never actually transpired as Barclay has supposedly accepted an offer at a League One club, although I haven't seen anything definitive reported in that regard - Former Brighton & Hove Albion defender Ben Barclay opts against Plymouth Argyle trial
