Was Sarcevic captain at Argyle?

When did we last have a proper pre-season, players all signed weeks beforehand and not a mad scramble at the last minute? 1st season down from prem?

I just said that to someone today.  Ready to go day 1 - that’s the first big improvement that hasn’t happened for ages.

[snowball 332]

Any more we reckon?  Another old head to hold it together in midfield?

Maybe, and possibly someone like Baptiste as cover in defence, maybe another striker too if Faal doesn't impress Evatt.

[white noise 22]

I think there will be a fair few yet as the kids will go out on loan, maybe a loan or two in too

He won’t start a league game. It will either be the 2 new strikers, or 1 up front, or Politic or some other established first teamer. He will either go out on loan to non league or get a permanent move in the next window.

im not sure

Faals london non league

Like plenty others we have signed

Im thinking hes from the same list

Baptiste was impressive at Atherton apparently, so could be another old head to add. Maybe Bunney too

[white noise 22]

Wonder why Faal is not impressing. Hill didn’t like what he saw but Evatt didn’t play him at Atherton either. Maybe he will go out on loan

[Rizlar 55]

Evatt already stated that young players will go on loan

Bunney can do one for me.

He didn’t impress when he played and he didn’t impress with his driving.

I take the point, but he was playing in the southern equivalent of the Northern Premier League. I don't think the others were playing quite so low down the pyramid.

I want him to succeed, but I can't help feel he's up against it.

Definitely

I just dont think hill signed him

[Burndens Bogs 432]

We've signed some monsters for this division.

It's gonna be fun once we can actually go and watch them.

He played the 2nd half against Atherton.

[Rudy 660]

Doyle The Fonz and Faal 

Plenty of creativity in midfield

Agree, some writing him off and hea hardly kicked a ball. @tshape has bet me £50 he will get over 1o goals this season. ( I said closer to 20) 

[snowball 332]

How many did we release from last season must be at least back to parity now in terms of squad numbers?

IE already hinted some of the youngsters to go out on loan so more to come probably. 

Think we are seeing FV plan since January transfer window bit clearer now. Obvious Onions wasn't calling shots re recruitment as many suspected. Chicksen decision etc taken with longer term plan in mind that didnt include many of last seasons squad or Onions all along.

[Traf 2,404]

I've no qualms about the recruitment so far. 
Evatt will know who the best in the National league were and will surely have had an eye on L1/L2 players for this season with Barrow looking like promotion material for most of last season.

As you’ve said previously, better players should comfortably be able to take 1 divisional step up
 

the best teams don’t necessarily always have the best individuals. The sum is is sometimes greater than its individual parts. So, if we’re identifying and picking up some of the brighter talent across the NL and moulding that in to a solid unit knowing IE is confident they can play at this level then I’ve no concerns at all. 
 

add in to the mix some of the best players in this league from last year and it looks like a really good mix. 
 

Sheff United & Bournemouth are prime examples of what can be done with unknown players & good coaching. Many gone from Leagues 1 & 2 in to the prem

if it works here it’ll do for me

He's identified targets, got them in early and therefore has no excuses if he can't mould them into the team he wants.

I'm fairly sure, though, that we won't be getting done for height, fitness or pace and we certainly won't get bullied like we have in recent seasons with a team of dwarves.
