Squad

A fracture rules Zac Noon out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Notts County will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Notts County sign Daniel Iversen for $4.9M

The paperwork is done: Daniel Iversen joins from Preston in a deal worth $4.9M. Now comes the harder part.

Squad

Malcolm Ebiowei arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Malcolm Ebiowei has, at Notts County, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Transfer targets

Notts County bid $890.0K for Dante Cassanova

The offer went to Tottenham this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

No deal for Enock Agyei at that price

Notts County offered $500.0K; Burnley said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

A falling-out at Notts County

Harald Nilsen Tangen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Notts County make their move for Filozofe Mabete

$140.0K on the table at Swindon Town. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Notts County

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

The terraces

Notts County spend $4.9M on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $4.9M for Daniel Iversen, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

In brief
