First Signings from last 18 years

[Ulysses]

Thought this would make interesting reading, signing dates get messy pre 1990. As you can see only in 1999 did we manage to secure a transfer in June everyone else arriving in July and August. Going on calculations here looks like its going to be around 18th July.

You don't seriously think the use of mere facts and hard evidence will stop the sniping about not signing 7 new players since the end of the season do you ??

 

[Firestorm]

And not a prticularly good record of first signing success either with only Stan , Lapper, Gower and Hunt generally avoiding criticism (and some , Hall, Anderson, Harris, Wright being absolutely forgettable)

Mark Gower Barnet £ 25000 02-07-2003

There is a God.

These don't seem to take into account who we'd agreed to sign before the 1st July each year though.....

We'd essentially signed 4 by the 24th June last year - Walker, Mildenhall, Sankofa, Furlong.

 

[Pubey]

There is a God.

his name was Wignall!

 

[DTS]

By this time in 1999 we had already signed Yemi Abiodun - What is Tilson doing !!!!!

Also everytime I see Jason Harris name I want to **** myself with laughter.....

 

[Maldon Blues]

There's some very poor players in there!
