📝📝 Bajrami and Austin sign

[Stan Marshall]

I’m very happy with the signings and it also shows the commitment the owners have in taking the club forward. It’s all a question of how they all gel together, of course, and whether our new Head Coach can get the best out of the players at his disposal. We certainly appear to have plenty of options and variety in our squad.
I suppose it’s just a case of who we lose now!

Interesting to see Kiidderminster fans' assessment of our signings so far:

One poster thinks that Scott, Lanstaff, Austin and Bajrami are in the top 5 NLN players. However we are NCFC and maybe.....

I always like to see what the fans at the player's former club are saying, and in this case Kiddy fans are very complimentary about both of the players we've signed, plus, as you say, the two other players we've signed from the National League North.

Once again with the signings of Austin and Bajrami we're recruiting players who have decent first-team experience but who are still young and whose careers are on an upward trajectory. This bodes well, and is in stark contrast to many years under previous owners where we signed far too many players in decline.

I'm still looking for at least one more killer signing in midfield, to add more height, strength and aggression in there, but it's clear that a lot of thought and research has gone into the signings so far. As promised, the Reedtz brothers are focused on finding emerging (possibly under-valued) talent at the right price, which is the right approach for a club like Notts. We aren't Wrexham with all their money, but we're an attractive proposition to good young players wanting to make the step up from smaller clubs in the National League.

I'd like to think some of our posters who reckon Notts' current owners don't have ambition may be at least considering a rethink following the recent crop of highly-rated acquisitions. Nothing won yet of course but the intent is clearly there.

Totally agree Swale, some really astute and exciting signings, all seem main, first choice targets, so different to last year where it felt we were a little late to the party. Well done Reedtz brothers, well done Notts, bring on the new season. 😀👍

Signing the best/better players from the the teams that finished 4th and 1st in the league below is pleasing. As is signing club captains, league top scorers, league player of the season, all at a good age and point in their career. They should all be hungry to either reach the EFL or return to it.

Add in the fact that 4 come in pairs and know each other, some commanded a fee it's been a very pleasing week. They all get a full pre season at their new club to integrate into the new surroundings and build up important relationships with the rest of the squad as they get to know each others games.

Didn't expect more incomings so soon, let alone impressive ones on paper. Hard to find a reason to moan. This is what the close and pre season are all about#PVO

Totally agree!

Happy with these signings, snapping up the better players from the league below is positive for me. Players with character and maybe something to prove, also like that we are getting business done fairly early. Couple more and a couple out wouldn’t be surprised if that was it.

I liked the hopefully jokey comment by one of their fans, who said, "I wonder if Sammy had his Achilles operation before he left us???
On the issue of whether we have enough height at the back, as I said about hold up players, height is no guarantee that you can get off the ground, let's hope in Bajrami and Baldwin we have two 6ft spring heeled centre backs. Plenty big enough if so, also lets hope Adebayo-Rowling at 5ft 11.5 inch is good in the air
Something Richardson was not..

We've had, (several), 6ft 4ins players who could only jump 4ft 6ins and we had DKE at 4ft 6ins who could jump 6ft 4ins. You couldn't make it up.
