This is the first time for a few seasons we have started the season with a relatively stable squad. Usually takes us until November to find our best XI with a stream of players in and out of the club. We would all like to see the best players in the league signing for the Saints but we are having to live within our means. Perhaps stability might give us the edge over some teams early in the season. A solid start and some points on the board, who knows what we can achieve this season.

I was happy with the way the squad was shaping up just thought we needed a few more to make the numbers up but after losing Beckles and Lamps not so sure now

Now this IS a good signing. Clever, dangerous striker, and on his day very good indeed.

Brief comment from Farborough: When was the last time we paid for a player? Conference National?

Re: buying players, I was going through some old stuff the other day and found a copy of the saints review for 91/92 season and was shocked to see how many players we actually paid for at the start of that season, albeit only £2K-£5K but still adds up, off the top of my head we paid fees for Steve Clark, Steve Ketteridge, Andy Cox. It was pre-Bosman though so that may have had an effect

As for last player we sold, did we get anything for Tom Davis? Otherwise it must have been Paul Hakim in the conference season

Great signing. Could prove to be the perfect foil for Simon Thomas and vice versa.

Very good signing.
In terms of the last player we received a fee for, would this have been Inih Effiong, via a tribunal?

Some question marks over his attitude at previous clubs... But he also has the pedigree at this level which Frendo never did. Exciting signing, and hopefully he matches expectations.

Seems like Wealdstone are welcome to Connor Calcutt now. I wonder if our friends from Hemel are laughing about this signing?? Lol.

Sorry tudor - I was referring comments made on the Conference South forum about the Calcutt situation. That seemed to cause a bit of amusement with some Hemel fans.

Howard Hall has been let go, while Ngoyi appears to be on his way to Dunstable.

I'd still like at least one more centre back

Interesting to note that the Boost the Budget scheme helped in these deals.

Sounds like a another great signing. Definitely a much stronger squad than this time last year. Great work by management team, chairman and owners - and Stand by Your Saints! ?
