Mackie speculation latest
Plymouth Argyle, 12:25, January 21, 2010 ,
Plymouth are insisting they are in no rush to sell striker Jamie Mackie despite interest from a whole host of clubs.
Executive director Keith Todd is adamant the 24-year-old will still be with the Pilgrims when the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
He told Herald Sport, "Jamie is a great guy. He's a real pro in every sense. He's good on the pitch and he's a great person to have around the ground.
"Before I was this side of the fence, I was a great Jamie Mackie fan, and I'm an even bigger fan now.
"I would like to see his future career here, banging in the goals. If he wants to be here, we want him here."
Derby, Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest have all been linked with a move for the player in recent weeks, but the club says no bids have been forthcoming for his services.
Todd's also made it clear the Argyle are under no pressure to cash in on him despite their well-documented financial problems.
He added: "That's not at all the driver. The fundamental driver, in my opinion, is where Jamie Mackie's head is. If Jamie Mackie is committed to Plymouth Argyle, the board is committed to Jamie Mackie.
"I fully expect him still to be here in February, and starting to smack in those goals."
He joined the club from Exeter for a bargain £145,000 in January 2008.
