One player who stood out for me last season was Sorba Thomas at Boreham wood. We was a right footed wing back playing off the left side. Looked a really tidy player. Bit of research shows he's only 20, an England C international. Scored against us in Boreham Wood's 4-0 win at their place and set up Tshimanga for the 3rd at EP. He's one i'd definitely be looking at He was mentioned on the Guardian football podcast last week by a journalist/scout that specialises in emerging talent in non league. Thomas came up when he was asked if he knew of any players capable of making the jump and playing at a high level in the league. The journo, who’s name I forget said he would’ve named Festus Arthur if he hadn’t just moved to Hull

Come on Sheikh Mark Stott get yer bloody hand in your pocket and get us some players already! I am certain that we have already agreed deals, but they will not be confirmed until we know when next season begins. It is forecast that there will be a second spike and soon we may all be back in lockdown. So we could get a short season for 20/21. The PL and C are completing this season, so should have all the other leagues. County would have made the playoffs, if it had been completed.

Have to hit the ground running then to ensure top spot if or when a lockdown kicks in

You (Toppers) mentioned on the other board that Hinchliffe, Palmer and Thomas had signed contracts. I've not seen anything confirming this. Where did you get this from? (I'd have asked you on there but my log in problem prevented me).

Ive been told like many others that contracts are signed with existing and new players, but i do not know why their have been any announcments. Seems very strange tbh. People are now starting to lose interest. People put on here about allen taking over as academy head about 3 weeks before it was announced, its almost like communication wise nothing has really changed since the takeover. Still very slow and lack of it.

at least no signings equals not having half the fanbase going over the top about the signing and the other half being completely underwhelmed by the signing.

I reckon nothing is being announced due to a combination of the following:
1. There is no new secretary in place to register the players. Either because they’re furloughed or new people are being recruited for these positions
2. There Is no media team in place to put out comms. They want to put out slick videos interviews etc but again, due to furlough or recruitment they can’t.
3. The club are being shrewd and attempting to make savings on player contracts by only finalising them when we have a start date for The season and or own pre season

I think No.3 is definately playing a big part & you're spot on with 1 & 2 Think plenty of hands have shaken on deals & pre contract agreements signed

There's also the possibility that some of our targets are, or have recently been, involved in the play offs.

Does the transfer window also impact on signings to date... apparently the EFL has announced the transfer window opens on 27th July.. presumably after all final placings have been resolved?? But I guess if league players have been released (e.g. Connor Jennings) they are free to sign to a new club now?
