Thought we would have announced all the returning players by now .

We need D F-Jones on board , do not know how long Matt Nicholson is out for but he was one of the stand out forwards last year along with Tonks, Castle & Milton .
Not sure about the rest .

Big names/big players with no heart for Donny and who get paid loads for playing, they wont get us promotion!.. It's the lads who train hard each week for nothing who need to have a chance.. The size of the pack is nothing, it's the strength and heart that matters.. The bigger they are the harder they fall

People on here say the problem has been we did not have any big name players ! As for big wages we fans do not know what wages the players are on .
Eagerly waiting for our final squad list .

Somewhere in Bonny Donny (Twinned with Krakatoa in 1883).

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Well, unless you have some inside info Paul, I suspect only disappointment awaits.
Do you really expect something special at this stage?

I have no inside info , just reading between the lines .
Hope its not more bull****. Not sure a lot of fans including myself could cope with 2 or more seasons more in this league.

What would you describe as special. I think we need about 6 more new signings & only sign a few more of last seasons squad !

Am I being naïve ?

Well that's true Weighman. Not our business to know what they individually get paid but a lot of the players only get match terms and only get paid if they get picked to play, so they work hard for it! The the 'Big' names are not going to come and play for a Champ 1 side for the love of it and will always get picked, because of their name, so they don't have to work as hard.. See what I mean

I see what you mean , I think most clubs will have similar pay structures . Its upto the coach & his staff to manage it.

With 18 players signed (including one who may not play) I would expect another 6, maybe 7 signings.

I could see a couple more being from last season's squad but can't help thinking that unless the club is about to 'pull some rabbits out of hats' in terms of the strength and depth of the squad, we could struggle to replicate last season's top four finish.

Well Carl has hinted at overseas players & young players from SL clubs .

We cannot match the spending power of Toronto so it is all about the 2nd promotion spot AGAIN !
