Would the new lad count as part of the 26, given that he’s under 21? Don’t know if it applies to loanees? It's a 22-man squad that doesn't include U21s or GKs.

I am trying not to read too much into the fact Barry's dad who also acts at his agent was at Pinatar to not get too excited. Just seems a bit strange to be hanging around if there was no real desire on both parties to get a deal over the line whether that be a loan or permanent. If he wanted Barry to go to any club basically bigger than us or in the Championship not sure he would be in Spain watching us play. The family still have a place over there from his time at Barca, so it's not worth reading anything into that. Fwiw, I think we'll end up signing hin on loan. No inside info, just a hunch.

Where is there place? Can't imagine it's anywhere near pinatar considering its 6 hours from Barca

Louie Barry apart, it does seem as though the Mellon and Adaramola are as expected, a significant step-up from our previous loans from higher up the pyramid.
Along with the permanent signings, they all present a significant but exciting challenge to the entire management and coaching staff to ensure significant player growth and development, and to find an effective way of playing to create a successful team that is greater than the sum of its now not inconsiderable parts.

Add a few things together and you get the impression Barry will not be playing for villa next season. Loan or permanent i feel he is off somewhere and doubt it will be the championship as it would be a big gamble for a club up there to sign him. Whether its County or someone else who signs him only time will tell.

It’s going to be a totally different County, I'm really excited by it. I agree. Not felt like this for many,many years. Looks like pace, power, attacking football. Of course,it may go horribly wrong, but I doubt it. At least it looks like we,ll be getting more pace in the side. Apart from the odd indevidual i think its something we have not had in the side for years.

Besides the physical speed of players as measured by short sprints and the like about which I think you’re right, the other aspect that will be interesting to see is the pace/different paces at which the ball is moved around - hopefully purposefully - in each third.

As far as I can see, he's represented by Elite Management Agency Ltd based in Chelmsford. Does Barry's dad work for them?

Barry would be a nice final piece in the jigsaw and give me the confidence we’ll see a few goals next season. At the minute I’m thinking still 1 short up top.
