To say he's divided opinion over there is only the half of it! Archetypal Mr Marmite Man

I confess I'd read a lot about this guy coming to EP and I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen so it just shows that sometimes patience is a virtue.
Meanwhile, the other rumoured move, that of Lewis Fiorini from Man City, has gone very quiet but, hey, it's Friday and we know SCFC like to spring a Friday surprise....
Edit: Oooops, it's Friday tomorrow of course, today being Thursday. D minus, must do better,

Leeds fan I messaged rates him highly but he never got a chance there. Apparently he features in Academy Dreams Leeds United on Netflix if you have the energy/time to search!

That's a big statement, right there.

The team is coming together beautifully, If we can somehow still get Louie either on loan or permanent we'll be a force to be reckoned with this coming season.

Addai is a fantastic signing. Proper competition for Ben between the sticks, and a shrewd piece of succession planning.

Let’s go and make history. That’s a great way to sign off his first interview.
We are putting together a very exciting squad for the next few seasons. As has been said before it is sad to see the back of players like Sarce and Paddy but like when Ash and Sam left when we got to the football league we have to evolve and improve accepting the limitations of age and ability as we move through the leagues.
It will be interesting to see who starts the season between the sticks. At any rate to have three good keepers is fantastic. The new youngster will learn so much from the example Ben and Addai will set him. And in time take over… Ben will presumably move over into more of a coaching role during the next couple of years.

The squad is not just taking shape, it is also taking on another form. Rather than just being a squad that can adapt to the new level, it's also one that has one eye firmly on the future.
Exciting times.

I've been reading that, for the upcoming season, EFL squads are limited to 22 players (down from 25 last season?) although players who were under the age of 21 at the start of the year don't count towards this maximum. There are actually 22 players listed on COWS without the 2 recent goalkeeping recruits. However, I think that 4 of those are exempt by age so still some space.
I've seen that Wrexham are at 21 senior squad players and don't have much scope for additions which I think puts into perspective County's recruitment strategy.

Correct, archie. Fairly sure that 'keepers don't get counted against the limit, either?
