If true, would be over the moon .

A real star in the making.

Can’t believe we have any chance of getting him.

Would love to be proved wrong.though.

Suggestions on County Chat that Charlie McNeil may have signed tonight.

I have always thought that it is best not to alert other clubs about possible signings.Keep quiet until a player actually signs so,anyone with rumours,say nothing.

Charlie McNeil signed by United from Man City for £750,000.
Listed as earning £3,400 per week, over £170,000 a year.
Do we have to contribute if he signs ?

My point is,if fans in the know tell everyone on here that the club are speaking to a certain player then,that may alert other clubs who will then offer more and we miss out.Best option is to say nothing and wait until the photo of him holding a scarf appears on the website.

There are at least 3 Championship teams that have been quoted as sniffing him out as a loan signing, so this would be an almost seismic event if he came to us!

I said it about 9 months ago and will repeat it now - we should be looking at Solihull’s attacking midfielder Andy Dallas, scores for fun.

I doubt that he is coming to us but PL clubs often like their young players to start at a low level of football. He has never played a FL game and Man U may not want him to start in the Championship. We've had several such players at County and one, Ben White, went on to play for England.

Not long left now think it will go to last day myself. Come on county let's do what we need

The idea that anything said on a fans forum has any effect on who signs and who doesn't is right up there with alien kidnap in being totally ludicrous.

I see a Baker scored for Stoke today. Is that the one who's coming to us? If so, I hope the loan deal is still in place.

That’d be Lewis Baker I should think

According to someone on the other mb,a player was signing for us on Friday.I have been on other clubs’ mb’s and others come on ours.Let’s say a Salford official just happened to pop on and see that statement and tells their manager who says “ Bloody hell,I didn’t realise he was available,can we get hold of his agent “.His agent then rings said player and asks “ Where are you “ ,the player says “Just south of Birmingham “ ,agent says “ Turn around and come back,we have got a better deal “.It may sound ludicrous to you but not to me.Footballers get their heads turned and are influenced by agents so,it is best to get the forms signed first then announce that player A has signed rather than he is going to.
