Wayne Rooney has declared Plymouth Argyle are 'in a good place' with their planning for the January transfer window.

Rooney speaks on a daily basis with director of football Neil Dewsnip and head of recruitment Jimmy Dickinson about that, but he also believes it is vital to get some of the Pilgrims' long-term injured players fit again by next month.

Ibrahim Cissoko (groin), Joe Edwards, Muhamed Tijani (both hamstring) and Morgan Whittaker (toe) are all out of action until January at the earliest.

Asked about the transfer window, Rooney said: "The most important thing come January is we get them players back fit and really that will be like new signings, in my opinion, because they are key players. On top of that, if we can bring players in we will do. If it's right for some players to move on then we will look at that as well."

Rooney added: We speak every day, myself, Neil, Jimmy - all the different departments involved in bringing players in or moving players on. I think we are in a good place and on top of things come January."

Argyle owner and chairman Simon Hallett confirmed at a fans' forum in Cornwall on Monday that money would be made available to be spent in the transfer window, although he did not give an indication of how much.

Hallett made it clear that he is desperate to see the Pilgrims stay in the second tier of English football. "This is a great league," he said. "I kind of joke sometimes that I would rather play in the Championship than the Premier League.

"I would like to have a go at the Premier League, but I actually think this is the best league in the world. It's competitive, it has got teams that are still close to their communities, it has got players from all over the world but it has got a core of local players in a lot of teams. It's a great league, we want to stay in it but it's tough."
