I'm not sure we want to be raiding their bin though. They are a relegation side for sure without Reid, so picking up their scraps probably won't serve us too well.
Matt.
Untrue. Reid has been excellent but without Hourihane, Nelson, McCormick and Alessandra we would be a relegation side. Thankfully all are ready for next season.
Just need Reid to sign a contract and we're ready..
I hate sounding cocky and whatever, but I'd be surprised if we're not in the top 7 at the end of next season.. We've had a huge clear out, but definitely agree a lot of our side is largely average.

Absolutely true, I'm afraid. His 21 goals were worth 19 league points to you (and that's without the goals he created, merely the ones he scored). Take out those 19 points and you finish... Bottom on 41 points.
You can argue until you're blue (or green) in the face, but those are the numbers. If you'd signed Hawley and we'd signed Reid, the roles would be reversed.

If be more interested in Exeters released list, as they have a number of locally based players who have been on the fringes. Ideal for a low budget conference rebuild.
And Bournemouth too - a number of their young squad members spent time on loan in the Conf South last season. Chance to step up under the tutelage of CH?
If we can get Luke Young, I would get him in like a shot; he's probably the best passer that Argyle had last season and a full season of regular football at a slightly lower level than he has been used to could help him improve as a player.
