Never release a player until you've had his tracksuit and training kit back!

This was at the start of the season and in the ‘amateur ‘ days. Not sure if such items were issued!!

I think 7 new players so that’s 17 signed up . To get to Mel’s 20 if that is his aim, it leaves a central defender, possibly a midfielder and striker. The way we are going that might just be the minimum! The budget has had a boost. Getting very excited about the coming season.

I’d say now we have two strikers a winger is more important as we only really have CKB and Donaldson as our wingers. So for me one more defender (versatile type) a midfielder whose a box to box and then a winger with an abundance of pace

There is that versatile defender we needed, some really exciting business being done nice and early. First time in a long time I have been truly excited for the upcoming season.

From what I can see played only a couple of games for Ks. Maybe one of Mel’s development players?

Would agree with this, he fits into this category.

Does the signing of Solomon almost confirm to us that Fernandez won’t be re signing. If so would be nice to get some clarity from the club.

The fact that ten of last season’s team have already signed does suggest Fernandez is looking elsewhere. Personally I hope an experienced central defender might be lined up as Mel cannot wait too long on Fernandez.
I tend to agree that Solomon is one for developing, rather than first team squad player.

Fernandez signs. Good news, one of our best players when fully fit.

Yep, probably not a major surprise but I'm happy with this. I thought he got better and better once fit.
