I noticed it was mentioned on here that he could be a potential new signing.
i went on the Barrow forum and a new post has been created today saying he is off to us. not too sure if that person has just been speaking to a county fan or actually knows something, but that would be a very good signing.
That would be a clear show of intent from our new owners and JG and would expect a hefty fee being payable to barrow though.

He’s exactly the kind of player we need IMO.
I’d be surprised if he gave up the chance to play in the football league to join us ....unless there’s a hefty wage increase.

I think location could be a big factor. Think he’s still Merseyside based. Lot easier to get to us than it is to Barrow everyday.

I think location could be a big factor. I also think being 29. If we offered him a 3 year deal on good money that could play a big factor as well

Wiki said has on a one year contract so may be a freebie.

I'm pretty sure Barrow still train in Salford and only travel up to Barrow for home games

There was a time when they were rumoured to be training in Manchester due to the number of players that they had locally, it must be a tough sell trying to convince players to sign for them without relocating.

Barrow have been training at Hopwood Hall, Rochdale for the last few years as it's easier to attract players, don't see any reason why they'd change things

It will depend on what’s “on the table” He would be foolish to reject a three year contract on a decent wage what ever division he will be playing in. The team Jim is building to bring back the exciting glory days is something quite a few players would like to be involved in. Whatever happens you can be sure County will have an excellent squad of players with top competition for every position in the side.
