Early summer signings

[Pele]

Having just read on a different thread about us leaving it to the last minute and signing up the unwanted dregs,what early signings/summer signings in the past have got you optimistic about the upcoming season?

Remember us signing Nigel Pepper I think relative early, thought that was a great signing for us at the time and gave me a bit of a urge to go renew my season ticket,Peter Morrisson followed shortly after with a promising reputation too
No Internet for rumours in them days just picked up a copy of the evening telegraph and there it was out the blue on back page

I see that some NL clubs with ‘intent’ (Notts County/Oldham) are already signing players. (I was going to refer to the other clubs as rivals but I expect our real rivals to be at the other end of the table.)
Come on Keith – get moving!!!!

Can’t recall a summer when our signings last came in at a reasonable point of the close season.

The obvious answer is 2004 with the arrival of Crosby, Baraclough & Musselwhite, all of whom – from memory – arrived in good time. Crosby in particular had been brilliant for Oxford in previous seasons and I remember being really excited about the idea of a penalty-taking centre back.

Who’s doing the signing of new players for Notts county? They haven’t got a manager, will national lge north players be deemed good enough if we sign some? Just asking!

[lesgeo]

Didn’t he miss his last penalty for us?
But …

Early or late if Will Swann is anywhere near it, it won’t matter

Who? Crosby? I don’t remember him missing a penalty for us, or was there one but the rebound was scored?

[Sharp_Shooter24]

Will Swann needs to be kept well away from any playing budget we might eventually have

Remember when PS said he was against the idea but Cox wanted him (strangely had been friends with him despite not working out his age). Cox has left, the recruitment the worst in the history of the club but he’s still here.. working for daddy

Okay.
Signings.
I’m still waiting.
(Perhaps rather less patiently than usual, though.)
Do they want to shift more season tickets?

[Iron-awe]

TBH les maybe a certain person leaving along with his son would prompt a rush of ticket sales, dont hold your breath.
