Can’t find the old thread we used to have about these things.
I see Josh Rees has signed for Aldershot Town.

Good signing for the Fleet.Ebbsfleet appear to be spending big time for national south.

Lee Martin is a impressive signing in that league at 33 he still has a few years left in the tank.With Ben Chapman signing a few days ago it seems that ex Gills will be very evident in the new season.
Just looked Martin up on SoccerbaseGood signing for the Fleet.
Has plenty still in the tank.
He was a key player for them Chris.Just looked Martin up on Soccerbase

He appears to have been a regular at Exeter a not unimpressive 37 appearances and 7 goals too.i would have thought he could have had league offers.
I always rated Tom another good signing. I think the emergence of Joe Walsh though possibly has made it the correct call at the time for Gills. Hadler is still young enough to progress in the game.Tom Hadler signed for 'Fleet as well.
He is trying to build a side to get back in the National league. At that level you definitely want local players.For National South the signings have a real chance of doing well.This is the same Ebbsfleet who have been failing to pay players wages on time.
Seems that the didn’t learn any lessons from that episode.
Also - it is apparent how small Steve Lovell’s network is.

Has to be said thus far it has only been his loan signings that have been a success. Overall his permanent signings were no better in fact were probably worse.In the end it comes down to budget.Evans almost certainly spent more than we normally do on his loans and it worked this time around. Be interesting to see who his main targets will be this time around and where the limited funds will be spent.The quality of some of the signings is very good for that level. Martin is a coup. But Lovell’s network is pretty limited.
I’ve always maintained that the biggest job for any manager is player recruitment especially in the summer. In recent times, our player recruitment has been terrible. I think Scally realised that some of the recent managerial appointments - where he insisted that PT came in as director of football. Evans has a breadth of footballing connections to do a better job with player recruitment.

Almost wrote exactly that, the only disappointments in my view are Hodson and Cisse with the later still notching a goal in only a few appearances, both didn’t really get much chance to prove their worth. The signing of Willock was a coup for the club, sadly he’s been unfortunate with injuries.I'd consider Bonham, O'Keefe and Mandron to have been successful permanent signings
But I remember other managers have had successful players as well.There are many who would be happy to see all but O'Keefe go if we had that opportunity. Bonham and Mandron have been OK.None of the permanent signings would be in the top five for player of the year.I'd consider Bonham, O'Keefe and Mandron to have been successful permanent signings
Will be near his family. His parents are regulars in my local "spoons" here in Bromley.Just looked Martin up on Soccerbase
