Plymouth need to relish being 'team to beat' - Wiredu
Brendan Wiredu is one of a host of new signings at Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle midfielder Brendan Wiredu says his new club have to be "the team to beat" in League One.
The summer signing, 25, is set to make his debut in Argyle's season-opening game against Barnsley on Saturday after moving to Home Park from Fleetwood Town.
He is one of 10 new signings after Argyle's relegation from the Championship as 12 first-team squad players left the club.
It will also be a first competitive game in charge for new head coach Tom Cleverley after he succeeded Miron Muslic last month.
"When you come to Plymouth Argyle there's always pressure to be one of the teams up there," Wiredu said.
"People are going to be coming to us that we're the team to beat, but that's something that we need to relish and actually be the team to beat.
"We need to respect teams but actually play with a little bit of arrogance, go out there and show why people have this stigma of us as the team to beat.
"We've got lads in there, young, experienced, that will relish the chance to be free and be the team to beat."
