Barrow AFC.net

Jason recently bought a house in Ulverston I heard; would be a very good acquisition in my opinion. Jase I mean, not the house, although now is the time to invest in the property market with the price of the average UK – that’s far enough off topic – Mods.

We need to get some decent firepower up front. Amongst the lowest league scorers for too long and no mattter how much I wanted Arnison to repeat his goal scoring feats for Wukkie with us, I wasn't overly impressed with his performances. Far too lightweight. Would Jason Walker would drop down to this level and would he have the motivation? Saying that though he didn't half score some cracking goals for us.

I don't get why a lot of people clamour for old faces to return. As good as he was/is, I hope that we can bring in some younger lads looking to work up through the leagues. A couple of experienced players always helps but I don't believe bringing back familiar faces is a guaranteed formula for success (what is?)...

lets get Rutherford,Cook,Jackson,Bond,Walker all back, then we could slag them all off again

I can see this being a very long off season. Im checking the website every 30 seconds for news we have signed Christian Ronaldo. very giddy.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned yet that it is only about 6 weeks til friendliest start and still no news about new signings ( or friendlies either)

Wayne Curtis busy?

Heard he is training hard to get fit and is on Edmos radar

Walker or Curtis?

I'm not usually one for wanting old players back but I wouldn't say no to Andy Cook, just released by Cleethorpes Town.

I agree. Andy Cook, properly coached, with clear instructions. and paid on time, would get 20 plus goals at this level.

He wasn't too complimentary of Barrow when he left us & thought he was billy big bollox & had made it with Grimsby! Not bothered at all when players leave to try & better themselves but there are ways to do it.

Anyway, he obviously hasn't been lighting up non league football being released by Cleethorpes town has he?

If cookie slagged us when he left then do we really want him back !
I fully understand he was owed money but its to sort out behind seens is it not !
Edmo will hopfully know who he wants
And I really hope joe Jackson comes back as knows this level
And edmo knows him as well

Andy Cook was a sulky child and if we never saw him again I would be happy.

Cook and Boyes together seem to have been a lot better together than the sum of their parts. Neither made an impact this season.

The manager will surely be looking beyond next season in assessing potential signings. I liked Joe Jackson's endeavour and wish him well for the future.
