Thats a shame, but i feel sorry for Howe, i think the Transfer Taps have been turned off for him as setting him up to fail. The rumours of Mourinho, and the speculation that Almiron and Trippier could be sold, they cant afford Ramsey from Villa etc look ominous signs to me. Howe's done a good job up their but i think dark forces behind the scenes are at work. It’s FFP.

if you're regularly lopping heads of dissidents, I don't think FFP is going to be something you're too bothered about with your sports-washing project.

If he's going from L2 for almost £2m, Barry would be in excess of £5m from a prem club Wouldn't be surprised if Barry was starring for Villa this time next year

Might explain why Breckin looks as if he's being brought in from City as an alternative

He's performed really well at L2 level for a handful of games. He's not even close to having proved himself good enough to make that sort of a step up. Not to mention the fact that he's suffered a terrible injury and there are no guarantees that he will be the same player after it.

Not too bothered, to be honest. Think we've got enough bodies in the attacking midfield roles (LCM, RCM, AM) now; far more important to add cover at DM (plus RB). Not convinced we will, mind - suspect we're going with Croasdale for big games and Camps for ones where we'll have more of the ball. Don't think that's a good plan, myself - if Croasdale gets a knock I really don't think Camps can play as a lone DM against the better teams - but suspect it's where heads are at. Be delighted if County make me look stupid now and sign Moxon (or indeed a young DM on loan until the end of the season - doesn't need to be a star, just decent cover).

I also think its been decided at senior level they want a 'big name' manager and indifferent second half to the season wouldnt harm the narrative. Someone is feeding the media with the Mourinho, Almiron, Tripper and Joelinton stories, and they are all ones that make it harder for Howe. People may say it would be madness for the owners to axe Howe, but look at the idiotic decisions Birmingham and Sunderland made. Personally if i was Howe and Liverpool or England came in for him id jump first because the Saudis will do the dirty on him.

You'd think he'd have learned his lesson about fouling keepers when it cost him Oates for the season. I missed it the other day when I watched and I'm actually stunned he's put on record he wants his players to foul opposition goalkeepers. What a wrong'un. Good point Stranded. Mansfield denied Oates challange on Ben was deliberate, yet Clough is on record here a few weeks later saying its a Mansfield tactic 😳 Pye was no accident either, deliberately took our best Centre Half in form on purpose IMO. Im sure Brian Clough who encouraged fair play would be proud ☹ It's a bit different though. I got the impression that Clough was referring to impeding the keeper to stop the quick ball up the field. Unsavoury/ dark arts but it happens and arguably is good footballing sense if you get away with it, like professional fouls. That's not the same as telling his players to leave a leg in on the opposition keeper when charging down. He's not stupid enough to admit that on camera.

I agree about attacking midfielders the squad is full of them. A more defensive/traditional midfielder surely must be a priority? Regarding Camps and Croasdale it would appear DC is converting him to a DCM and Croasdale still has a injury niggle or if it was tactical as stated on Saturday he has slipped down the pecking order for now. It looks like at LCB County are going to stick to 4 at the back and/or hope Touray can fill the gap until Pye is fit, it was notable that in his pre match interview DC mentioned Touray has had a heart to heart with Touray and a subtle pull your finger out warning. Moxon has told Carlisle he off in the summer on a free transfer and clubs are on for him, it wouldnt surprise if County have said to Carlisle we would take him now for £X on the table and said let us know if you want to trade now.

They spent that on potential. Ar this point they didn’t think he’d be on his third L2 loan spell after failing. I’m not saying he won’t be worth that in the future but right now he’s not proven above L2 level and had a failed spell at MK Dons and a mixed one at Salford. I’d like to see him get a 2nd year on loan with us in League One. Could be why we haven't gone for a similar attacker on a permanent basis despite it being obvious our wanted list for so long. Wishful thinking...

I'd be very surprised if Moxon agreed to it though

Aston villa have 2 very good wingers in Leon Bailey and diaby.
They are also looking to spend 15 million on Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough.
Barry be a squad player at most. Especially if he doesn't come back the same player
