    Looking forward to seeing how he does, to command a fee and for us to want to bring him in must mean he has something about himself. At 20, there's a lot of players we have that could help him on his journey and hopefully we have unearthed a hidden gem for a good fee.

    Welcome to Meadow Lane, Darius Lipsiuc.

    Shall we call him Lipsync for easy pronunciation? At least at first. 🙄

    It won’t be the arrival of a proven star, but it has the profile of a recruitment move that could pay off significantly if he develops as expected. Given his age, recent performances, and potential resale value, he looks like a smart addition rather than a gamble.

    Classic Brothers recruitment. Only to be applauded yet again.

    It's better than the very obvious nickname 😩

    Quite the strong Irish accent, he seems very levelheaded and focused on pushing his career on. Seems to know where the back of the net is, so it is very promising.

    Sounds like an interesting player to develop but not necessarily one for the first 11 straight away. Let's see how he does and cross our fingers for him. Also, since he's under 21 I think he doesn't count towards the squad limit.

    I'll call him Daz!

    Describes himself how Frank Vincent described himself - so could be a similar player...

    Love the name. I'd have given more chance to hearing a single 'Lip shook' from a pop star called Darius, than to land a midfielder of the same name.

    Teams always need players who put in the yards, so welcome and good luck to him,

    Good luck to him. We've had a little bit of success with young-ish permanent signings (Macari, Ness and Browne might turn out OK) and some flops (Jarvis).

    I've got a feeling Paterson will be good at bringing them on, because he's so demanding and clearly cares about his players, but also as someone who fought his way into men's football at a young age.

    Darius's parents are Moldovan apparenrlty, hence the un-Irish sounding name.

    Correct, I guess that's one of the reasons as to why we've signed him. 8 goals from midfield in 33 matches is very promising for someone so young, there's definitely potential there, lets hope he fulfils with us!

    I think he's a no risk signing for Notts. He has potential & there is plenty of room for improvement. If he can't get into the first team squad, he will be loaned out possibly to a League 2 club.

    if we play him and dont expect unrealistic expectations, i think he should grow in the role and prove to be a good signing. he seems level headed, he looks to have the ability but settling down is important. he needs to make notts his home, and we need to support him. i think its great that we have the depth in midfield. we will need it in league one.
