Excellent stuff. It’s great to have him back on so many levels, but he also plugs such a tough gap to fill in the squad and complements our other signings so well. Can’t have ever been this exciting to be a county fan before? Were you not around when Jimmy Melia was announced as manager 😀

Signed a contract extension at Villa too. Understandable; no risk of them being bartered with on any future fee. Think they’ll be looking to sell but obviously hoping he’ll have a great season and they can cash in. If he doesn’t live up to their expectations then likely they’ll offload (to someone) at a more reasonable fee.at their level they can afford the gamble.

He’d played at the level above. We need someone who has good experience at this level not a green 19yo. Wrexham already have Jack Marriott, Sam Dalby, Ollie Palmer, Jake Bickerstaff and Steven Fletcher so cannot see him playing much especially as Mullin will be back soon. Not a wise move if he moves there. All of those except Mullin he’s probably better than.

So exciting to be a county fan, Just think what we were doing ten years ago!!
Very pleased with all the signings this summer, but still feel there are a couple of loan signings yet to come in. Joe White who was one mentioned we wanted last January.
With the injuries we have had in pre-season, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a trialist tonight or tomorrow.

A 42 year old father of two shouldn’t be this excited about the career choices of a young slip of a lad with a daft haircut, but here we are, and I’m bloody delighted!
Not here to make up the numbers, are we?

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”? Yes.

He was sat with the injured players when we played Stoke. Was adamant at the cricket day he is fit. He was adamant he was fit when he wasn’t playing at the start of last season…

Not a wise move if he moves there. Marriott hasn’t torn up trees for them, Dalby neither (in fact even less so), Palmer’s not done much since his first season and a half, Bickerstaff is a kid and Fletcher can only manage 30-60 minutes a game. And Mullin is out for months. They’re desperate for a striker.

Would’ve been total sacrilege if it hadn’t have happened.
So pleased Louie is back to continue his County Story. The lad’s got unfinished business and we all want to wallow in it!

With some of the pace in our squad Mansfield may have problems catching our players. Unfortunately therein lies a potential issue for late challenges. Won’t get anywhere near us. They are a good bet to go straight back down. More likely to injure themselves trying to keep up Doesn’t happen often on here, but I laughed out loud when I read that; wittiest comment of the year!
