Today would be a great day to get it announced. Get him some minutes against Blackburn and/or Carlisle and a week of training before the season starts. 🤞 Hope so - though would have expected more leaks on Vila's end if we were ready to go today. Would be some Friday 5pm announcement though..

I've just received a text saying Louie Barry is almost certain to sign, again not usually a bullshitter. l hope your right. Somehow l feel you wouldn’t have posted this if you weren’t confident that it wasn’t true. It’s from the person who told me that Villa wanted him to go to a championship club on loan, I wouldn't have posted if I hadn't had a few beers as I usually don't like this stuff, he's definitely not ITK but has been talking to someone who is, I still fear the likes of Derby coming in for him.

Repeat exactly what you heard. Did they say “Barrie’s going to sign for County”?

Didn't people say he was technically good but not particularly quick or strong? Not convinced he's what we need if so. Yeah I definitely think we can find better. If we’re adding in that area we need someone more athletic. Seen him live a couple of times but that was two years back. Unless he has improved and got a bit stronger and involved more in games its a no thanks for me. A typical premier league type of kid who could make it but equally not.

Again it depends on what type of championship club he,d sign for. Somehow i doubt it will be a leeds type and more likely one who might struggle. In the first type he is not guarenteed game time and for the second would he shine in a losing side. Neither are going to improve him now and his best bet is 12 months loan with us and all party,s can look at him after that.

Has anyone heard anything concrete about what’s going on with Powell?
I’ve read rumours that he’s injured and rumours that he’s leaving, just very disappointing either way that he’s had zero pre season.

That's the crux of it, a Leeds type club wouldn't guarantee him much playing time, if it's to be another loan Villa want him playing, we can't even guarantee him playing time but it's more likely with us.

On TSBW I swear Raynes and Bully said he'd been in over the summer doing extra bits with the likes of Wootton

I’ll be thrilled if we see him in a County shirt again this season. A part of me does worry if his injury will have had a long lasting effect on his game though. We only really saw him reach first gear on his return towards the end of last season Agree, but he was pretty good in his short cameo at Notts County....................apart from the missed pen.

Dumbfounded by some of the villa fans comments on social media who don't seem that arsed about him If a player who wasn’t in our first team squad was going out on loan, or maybe sold, we’d either not be arsed or think it was a good idea

What do people on here think we need now? Just another option up front for me.

Plot twist. 5pm announcement accidentally says Barry signs for Wrexham due to a technical issue.
