Does this mean Hilly is getting his number 1 targets?
Gone are the days of signing the likes of Dele Adebola at the end of August! (hopefully!) |  | | |  |

Hilly always used to like August as a time for signing players. Was always a gamble, but you'd get value for money by signing players who haven't been getting a sniff of first team action or signing players from teams who needed to do a bit of shape shifting to turnaround a poor start to the season. These days, he seems to prefer the settled squad approach and having them all on the plane to Tenerife.
I know we're not signing the likes of Messi etc, but we do seem to be attracting a higher quality signing too. We're never going to compete with the majority of League 1 but teams are turning the bigger League 2 sides down for us rather than just cherry picking from the sides relegated to the Conference. |  | | |

Makes you wonder if word has got around and players actually want to come and play for the club now.. rather than it being a final option when no one else wants them.
We could even be seeing the benefits of Mr Hill's 9/10 years in management - targeting players such as Alessandra, local who I'm guessing won't be demanding a premium salary to come 'home', McNulty, who Hill has managed previously, and doing what he does best with broken toy McDermott.

In a strange way the sale of the likes of Done works well when attracting players. We may pay them less but they know that if they play well they can earn a move.
I suspect our latest signing was offered more money to sign elsewhere but chose Dale.
If we didn't allow our players to leave for a fair price would we be able to sign then in the first place? [Post edited 8 Jun 2015 12:13]

Hope Conrad Logan is on his hit list until Jonathan Diba is ready to go in-between the sticks before becoming a England U19/U20/U21 regular [Post edited 8 Jun 2015 12:40]
