WHILE Forest have been having bids for Tom, Dick and Harry turned down left right and centre, Notts County have been quietly going about their business.
They have signed David Bell after he was released from his contract by Coventry City.
He follows Mustapha Dumbuya, Danny Haworth and Danny Haynes into Meadow Lane.
That might not be the end of the signings with striker Matthew Barnes-Homer, who bagged 21 goals in 42 games for Macclesfield, and former Spurs midfielder Dean Parrett on trial.
Barnes-Homer played a fair bit in America and drifted round the non-League scene but he was good enough to play for the England 'C' team, so he must have a bit about him.
But, as I have said before, County are clearly having to count the pennies, what with Financial Fair Play and everything else.
I had hoped that Notts would have got a bigger crowd for their prestige friendly with Galatasary.
How often will Notts folk get the chance to see players of the calibre of Didier Droga and Dutch ace Wesley Sneijder play live?
Notts came within a whisker of an historic win after taking the lead with an own goal and deserve a big pat on the back.
I wish Suarez would hurry up and leave Liverpool if he is going. He's a good wee little player, no doubt about that. But he says he needs to leave England because he's hated by the press. So what's the use of him going to Arsenal, or any other club in England, for that matter?
I'm also a bit sick of hearing how unfairly Manchester United have been treating Wayne Rooney. He's picking up over £200,000 a week just for playing football and he feels harshly treated!
