C'mon shamstone, can we have a bit more positivity please. Maybe ? Probably ? Definitely ? Look George had got a great track record and JS2 who knows the guy well enough, thinks he's got something to offer the Stones this coming season. That's plenty good enough for me. Me too, he’s a really exciting signing. Now we need some equally experienced strikers and some solid and creative midfielders to add to a solid back four and some interesting youthful attackers. So you want some "experienced strikers" and some interesting youthful attackers.. Added to the two strikers we already have how many do you really think the club will bring in? Maybe two more at the most.

DiCanio, Turgott, and many others
They step out of line, we get a bargain, and hopefully a club legend.
We could go far with a whole team of minor criminals and dodgy characters. Although I'd draw the line at murderers - that didn't work out too well.

I think an experienced warhorse is what we need upfront, someone along the ilk of a Billy Bricknel type.
As long as we get some widemen who can cross, and some grunt in midfield along the lines of a prestedge character, and a creative good on the ball player we are well on our way.

A genius goalkeeper, defenders that scare the shit out of the opposition, class midfielders who can do whatever it is that midfielders do, and some bugger up front who can score a truckload of goals every season.
That's all I'm looking for.

We have two youthful attacker’s already Jakeyboi in Jake and Ibrahim we just need two more experienced ones to help them and some creative midfielders and then we are looking really strong.

Well we will wait an see what the owners want to do I think the budget may be a tad tight to afford the luxury of too many spare strikers

So annoying, but I think oldboy is probably right this time. Unfortunately, it's doing the rounds that we missed out on a couple of really decent midfielders. Plenty more player recruitment needed yet.

Four months to recruit nine new players at @ one a fortnight and now we have just 13 days to pre season training and 18 days to our first friendly and although with Wishart and Coker we could field an eleven (with an Academy bench), we need another six or seven- a spare utility defender (or two?), 2/3 creative midfielders, and at least ONE experienced striker - if not two.
It looks like JS2 and Hak have struggled, for whatever reasons, to recruit, so lets pray that the next two weeks brings the multiple signings that we were expecting in the last two weeks, and that they aren't all last minute, bottom of the barrel stuff.
The signings so far have been very good, so lets hope the next batch are too.

1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9.....and breathe Thank you for your concern woodstone but my breathing is absolutely fine, as I believe is my fair assessment of our current situation. Good to see you can count! I think our key recruitment struggle may have been in getting FT players to commit to NLS. When we have a squad and the dust has settled maybe the owners or management will admit to what the struggle was or maybe the last batch of signings will be so good we won’t care! Hopefully the latter😊
