It's going to be even tougher this season as there are a few clubs with plenty of cash such as Stockport and Bradford and some higher profile clubs coming down, as well as strong teams from last season like Swindon and Northampton so it won't be easy to attract the required talent. Throw in an untried manager/coach with no knowledge of lower league football and it's going to be a challenge all round. The transfer window only opened on Friday so I'm not too concerned at this stage but if the usual host of out of contract journeymen turn up in 3 or 4 weeks I'll start to worry. I agree, Bradford have bought well so far. Stockport will spend 100%, just feels like a lack of organisation on the transfer front. No sign of a replacement for Greg Strong or definitive answer on whether Casper is leading the recruitment. Is Thrnbull the only one of the players offered deals that hasn’t signed yet? I don't think Love has either, not that I'm bothered 😊

I thought Lowe did pretty well, but he's replaceable if he doesn't re-sign, as are most of the team.

Donald Love has signed for Morecambe where our head of recruitment went’, 2 year deal there when we only offered 1

Donald Love has signed for Morecambe where our head of recruitment went’, 2 year deal there when we only offered 1 No loss based on last season and if our former head of recruitment rates him, well enough said. I won't miss his not particularly long long throws 😁

I won't miss his not particularly long long throws 😁 I didn’t rate him at all. Passed every ball at 100mph and probably had the shortest throw in the team.

I’ll miss the fact that the range of positions he was employed in, as well as his performance level, always gave me something to analyse. The king is dead long live the king

He's one of those players that I never seemed to notice on the field of play and who contributed little that stood out in my opinion.

Hearing nothing on incomings. Kyle Ferguson has gone to Harrorgate - so an apparent Defensive target has been missed there. See Stockport have added another from the National league along side Kyle Wootton.
Appreciate it’s silly season at all levels but unless there is a deluge on the 1st of July I am not sure we will see much happen… anyone know what the minimum squad size is before we are advised to bring our boots to games.
At this point I think my best position is right back… right back in the car park mind.

We are short of a few players and trying to be optimistic maybe we've lined some up but are waiting to announce them. Being ridiculously optimistic I see Dom Telford has said he's leaving Newport for a new challenge. I'm sure it'll probably be Wrexham but that would be an excellent signing for us. Other than that it's bring your own boots next season though as I'm pushing 60 even I might be too old 😊

And to completely contradict my previous post we've signed Callum Hendry a 24 year old forward from St Johnstone

We have signed Callum Hendry from St Johnstone. Now, I’ll start by genuinely wishing him well and welcome to Salford.
His recent form is 8 goals from 19 games, which is what we need. His career average is less impressive though. Let’s hope we have bought him at the right time. Equally, he is Colin’s son, which bodes well.
I hope he can adapt to working off a ‘big man’ and become prolific at the Ammies.
Now let’s kick on and sign a few more.
