With the transfer window a few days old it seems that the Railwaymen may go back to a previous target.
Plymouth Argyle's Nick Chadwick has drawn a lot of attention from the Crewe staff and with a deal that broke down earlier in the season due to the player needing a operation looks set to be rekindled.
25-year-old Chadwick is out of contract at the end of the season and with the Pilgrims wanting £250k for the former Evertonian earlier on in the season Argyle may off load for a nominal fee or even on loan.
Chadwick has endured a awful time at home pack with injuries and has only made 49 starts since February 2005 netting 10 times.
He has only come back from injury and has come off the bench in the 1-1 draw against Bristol City in December then failed to get a run out until the 3-2 win over Hull City when he came on in the laat minute.
