Plymouth Argyle supporters are concerned about the potential recall of loan stars and the possibility of their former manager Steven Schumacher luring players to Stoke.

Midfielder Finn Azaz, on loan from Aston Villa, is at risk of being recalled by his parent club due to his impressive form and potential availability in the January transfer window.

Caretaker manager Neil Dewsnip is aware of the dangers after seeing leading man Morgan Whittaker recalled from loan last season.

Plymouth Argyle fans are worried about losing their loan stars or having them poached by former boss Steven Schumacher for Stoke. One player at risk is midfielder Finn Azaz, who has impressed while on loan from Aston Villa. His contract with Villa expires this year, making him a target for other clubs across the Championship.

Caretaker manager Neil Dewsnip has expressed concern based on previous experiences with players being recalled midseason. He emphasized that discussions are ongoing with all loan players' clubs to prepare for any possible recalls.

Stoke had already been planning their January transfer business before Schumacher's arrival but will have an input alongside technical director Ricky Martin and head of recruitment Jared Dublin. They have shown a professional approach in recruiting new players without favoring those previously associated with Schumacher.

There is speculation surrounding whether Schumacher will bring in familiar faces from Plymouth but it remains uncertain as styles, times, and demands change between different clubs. Meanwhile, owner Simon Hallett is expected to appoint a replacement for Schumacher soon.
