I'd hope so, the last time he was in Germany he played in the second division, he's dropping down to the third division where the standard won't be as good, so surely he has more of a chance of getting regular playing time. I always thought his dribbling and ability to get past players was usually pretty good, it was just in the final third where his cross or shot more often than not was off.

If we lost Jodi to Bromley I would be seriously concerned, I can’t see it happening. Also Jodi Jones in an Andy Woodman team, I don’t see how that works. I’m giving this rumour a 1/10 for probability. (Cue news of Jones departure to Bromley by the next week)

I was just trying to look up his stats to find out a bit about him and Sofascore have listed him as a Notts player! I think when it's the overseas transfers they are a bit harder to keep a secret, the news about Jatta and then Traore got out a the night before Notts announced it. Be funny if it didn't happen though... It does seem likely now but I'll still wait for the Notts official website announcement.

No not heard anything, it'll all depend on how Luton are planning their season and transfers, if they think he's going to be part of their first team squad it'll be unlikely. I'm sure we'd like to have him back though. I think he's only going to get better and in the short spell he was our most dangerous attacking midfielder.

He wasn't part of Harrogate's squad for their match against South Shields tonight 🤔 A possible replacement for Norburn? In terms of style they are quite similar, Jack Evans is more athletic but obviously not as experienced.

Welcome Paul, clearly you’ve made an excellent life choice in supporting Notts and now you've made the bold step to join the rest of us who spend far too much time talking about them! I'm looking forward to seeing you around the forums and hearing your views, especially if you can explain why we seem do things the hard way every single season!

Considering how short we feel in terms of goal scorers (and with the Jatta drama) I'd have been quite happy to have him, he scored more than all our attacking midfielders combined last season. It's a key area of the pitch that is lacking right now, obviously there's still plenty of time to sign players but the more time they get in pre-season with us is only going to help them get up to speed quicker.

I really like it and maybe controversially, I think I prefer it to last seasons too! I get that reinventing something that everyone wants to stay the same is tricky but I think the pin-stripes are a nice added detail, in theory mixing them in with the thicker stripes could've looked a mess but I think it just gives the shirt a bit more added interest. Maybe all the sponsors are a tad over-kill but this is just the way modern football is a the moment.

Good to see he was a player flagged up in @ARLukomski 's recruitment doc and going off that he looks like he'll be much more suited to being one of the outside CBs as opposed to being in the middle because I think someone who is more aerial dominate is more suited here. The video from the is Newport fan is encouraging too, the fact he's very comfortable on the ball and pretty athletic means I think he'll be fine with us.

It's hard to gauge too much, especially when Forest put out a side that has 10x the value of our whole club, some players I thought did well and others really did seem to struggle. It is the top end of the pitch where we have the biggest issues right now, but I agree with @McPie the best thing about yesterday for me was seeing the potential and promise of the young players that came on. Looks like Jatta's visa issues have extended to Meadow Lane. I just find it odd, even if he wants to move, why is he not taking part in pre-season and getting himself fit and ready to play regardless? It'll have a knock on effect because he'll be well behind everyone else whatever club he's at. From what I can gather Jodi was at the match and was photographed training in the week so I did find it odd he wasn't playing especially as he hasn't played any minutes this pre-season either.

I think it'll be quite telling if he's not involved against Forest. He's behind the rest in terms of fitness so he'll need to get minutes on the pitch. I've always thought Jatta was pretty happy here though, especially considering we've turned down bids in the past I'm sure he could've pushed for a move if he wanted one.

Yeah it was pretty excruciating viewing by the end, we were just far too negative. 6 defenders on the pitch was totally unnecessary and we had no centre-forward because Kane spent the last 30 minutes closer to his own box than the oppositions! Spain didn’t change the way they played after going 1 up against France, so why did we? I didn’t get it at all to be honest. It was a pretty even match until we scored, ironically that turned out to the best moment for Argentina. I think Tuchel totally panicked, yes we managed it against Mexico but they didn’t have players like Messi, Alvarez, Fernandez and Mac Allister…

It's inevitable that we are going to get bids in for Jatta, the only thing now is as his contract is up at the end of the season Notts have a big decision to make. If Jatta has no intention of signing a new contract we either sell and reinvest or keep him for the season but get nothing after it. I feel like I know what is more likely to happen... If we do end up losing our two top goal scorers heading into League 1 it's going to be a hell of a challenge and put real pressure on the recruitment to get it right. So, fingers crossed we get news of him signing a new deal!

The live stream is on Randers FC Youtube channel for those who want to watch. It's obviously very decent of them to provide a free-stream but it does appear to be filmed with a camcorder from the 2000s. You can definitely make out a that football match is indeed taking place, but l'm struggling to figure out who is who and what is happening on the other side of the pitch, or in both boxes, or where the sun is really bright... But when Kouhyar has the ball on the nearside it's fine!

He should be, he's been ill so didn't travel with the rest of the squad but was due to fly out today. I agree no-one really had a stand out performance. In terms of the new boys Gibbons looked pretty solid in at RCB and I thought Lipsuic was lively going forward, a tad suspect defending at times, but not bad for someone playing out of position. It was a bit tougher for Cal, I think he's more suited to being on the ball than chasing it!
