BARRY Corr has agreed terms on a two-year contract at the County Ground and will sign tomorrow afternoon.

Great news! We actually have a striker on the books for next season! Can't wait to see who this 'goal machine' Sturrock has promised to find is! Awesome upfront partnership me thinks.

Did I utterly mis read the previous stuff on his injury, or isn't he going to be out for about a quarter of the season (games wise) while his back is fixed?

Great signing, but can't be relying on him really when he may not be in the team until October, and even then he might be stiff for a while.

   Exactly.....potentially good signing, but the start to a season is so important, last season got us up, previous season got us relegated.

   I worry that we are going to start the season with a toothless attack, probably something like 4-5-1 with Blair Sturrock up on his own.

Well I'm going to credit sturrock with a bit more sense than that for the time being at least.

Maybe he reckons he can do a deal with Everton to get Lukas back here on loan for three months/half season/full season? Lukas himself has mentioned it so I reckon it's something the clubs have discussed.

That would be a very nice little arrangement and would certainly suit all parties concerned.

I'm sure Sturrock is looking to bring in atleast one more good striker so perhaps we would start the season with the new signing up top on their own, or perhaps partnered by Storruck or even Roberts whilst Corr gets fit

im worried. i know lukas is good but we need goals goals goals and im not sure getin lukas back for 3 months would get us the goals in league one

Lucas and Sturrock up front. Not good enough for league 1. There has to be another striker coming in. And I'm sure there will be.

I predict Corr will be the target of County Ground boo boys by Christmas next season.

Barry Corr should be a good signing but his fitness does concern me - Aslo, hopefully his good performances was because he's a bit good and not a case of Corr playing out of his skin to earn himself a cushy 2-year contract.

Pook on the other hand... I shall be wiping the slate clean if he's here next season - I'll give him a chance. There's really no point getting on his back.

Granted, he is a good scapegoat... which shows he's definatly good at something!

I predict he will be a contender for player of the season next year and will score 12-15 goals  8)

Striker Barry Corr has revealed that he turned down other offers to complete a move to Swindon Town.

Corr has now agreed terms to join Paul Sturrock's squad for the League One season and he spoke to the local media on Friday afternoon about the move.

"When I was back in Ireland my agent was ringing me to say that other clubs were interested in me. I didn't want to be disloyal so I told them I was only interested in Swindon Town. Paul Sturrock had shown faith in me and Swindon was always my first choice.

Barry Corr

"When I left Sheffield Wednesday on loan I knew I wasn't in their plans and that I would have to find a new club in the summer. I have a lot of respect for Paul Sturrock and his team and Swindon are an ambitious club. The stadium is nice, the fanbase is there and the aim is to get into the Championship.

The Irishman is now fully focused on completing his rehabilitation from a back injury, and although he is set to miss the start of the campaign, he cannot wait for the big kick-off.

"I am really delighted to have things sorted and I am looking forward to the start of next season. I am working with a specialist at the local hospital and with Dick Mackey, who has been superb with me.

"The fans were fantastic last term too and I am sure they will be excited ahead of the new campaign. For me personally I'm going to get my head down and get my fitness sorted."

Are you refering to the 'quality' leisure top?

A Lotto t-shirt, with Swindon Town FC stiched into it?

Quality gear!!
