Whereas the likes of Blissett, Sparkes, Williams and McGinty didn't sign until June (all the way to the 21st in McGinty's case).
I acknowledge your post of 'There is no panic' In fact, you could say that the current squad of 5 players is a benefit. It allows the manager to bring in fresh quality players, as opposed to picking up a squad he doesn't think is good enough. As you rightly say we did not sign players until well into June last season.
My post was somewhat tongue in cheek to stir debate on the very nature of rebuilding a team from a squad of players primarily brought in during the month June and whether this format is the ideal having narrowly avoided relegation over the last two seasons.
However, I stand down on this topic and take your word that by the time this season starts, we will have a full squad to make up a promotion pushing team, rather than a team that will struggle . And, of course, we still have the GI checkbook and the resigning of Harrad to fall back on and I am sure Scott Corderoy will play in goal for us if Moore does not sign.
