Plymouth Argyle manager Tom Cleverley has indicated he does not anticipate any further signings or departures at Home Park before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, according to comments reported by BBC Sport.

Window business "done" after double loan swoop

The Pilgrims moved quickly on Monday, bringing in midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson on loan from Leyton Orient and adding Tottenham Hotspur forward Oliver Irow on a temporary basis. With those two deals wrapped up, Cleverley suggested his recruitment work is essentially complete for this window.

"I'm happy with the squad. We know performance-wise in the league, there's a lot of things we need to work on, we're nowhere near the finished article, which we'll get to. We'll develop, we'll improve. But I'd be surprised if there were any further ins and outs," Cleverley is quoted as saying.

The head coach also poked fun at his own deadline-day predictions: "I said two players in on Monday and I finally got one right. So let's hope that my confidence in the squad is what it is, and it stays through till Tuesday."

New arrivals impress on debut

Bakinson and Irow were thrown straight into action, making their debuts alongside 17-year-old academy product Joe Mwaro in a League Cup fixture against Coventry City. Cleverley was encouraged by what he saw from all three.

"They physically look sharp, so really pleased with their debuts. They slotted nicely into the group and will be key players for us going forward," the Plymouth boss said.

Bakinson's arrival was previously reported on this site, with the experienced midfielder understood to have joined on a season-long arrangement. Irow, a product of Tottenham's academy, represents a different profile: a young forward who will be looking to establish himself in senior football through regular third-tier minutes.

Outgoings dependent on "astronomical" offers

On the question of potential departures, Cleverley acknowledged that sales are harder to control than incomings, but suggested the likelihood of any player leaving is low unless a club comes in with an exceptional bid.

"As far as players going out, that's always a little bit more tricky perhaps because that's sometimes a bit out of your control. The only way that could change would be the obvious, if someone offered an astronomical amount of money for one of our players," he said.

That caveat will be familiar to supporters who have watched a number of clubs poach League One talent in recent windows. For now, though, Cleverley's message is clear: the squad he has assembled is the one he intends to work with for the foreseeable future.

Focus turns to Bradford visit

With the window approaching its close, attention at Home Park shifts back to league matters. Cleverley was speaking ahead of Saturday's third-tier home fixture against Bradford City, with Plymouth looking to build on early-season form and address what the manager himself has admitted are areas in need of improvement.

The Pilgrims have already demonstrated they are willing to be active and creative in the market, using the loan system to add cover and competition in key areas of the pitch. Whether the new arrivals can provide an immediate lift in the league will become clearer over the coming weeks as Cleverley's side looks to find its feet at this level.
