Well, what about this then?!
Two more signings in Stuart King (Herne Bay) and Chris Webber (Billericay).
On paper, two more very good players to add to an already fantastic squad!
Both with Ryman Premier League experience.
In fact, Stuart King attracted a decent transfer fee in the 2012/13 season to leave Folkestone and join Maidstone United.
That's how far we come - we are attracting players to compete (no guarantee he will start ahead of Jack and Granty), who were attracting a transfer fee a few seasons ago!
However, lets just hope Kingy (#2) can settle down with us because he has undoubted talent.
But has struggled at Folkestone and Herne Bay, since he left Maidstone after not quite performing under pressure there.
Then, Chris is someone that naturally - being from a higher division - I don't know as much about.
But, he is apparently a 'midfielder' and sounds to be similar(ish) to Sam Bewick - again, I don't how much and that might be completely wrong.
What I do know is he has recently moved to the area and seems to have impressed in training!
Of course, it is a shame to see Kieran leave.
He is a decent young player and has the potential to be very good at this level in my opinion.
Although it looks like a slightly obscure move, it will be good for Kieran to get Ryman South experience along with regular first-team football at East Grinstead.
My only slight worry, in terms of squad positions, would be centre-back now.
Bourney and Brown are probably the best two options, although, John always seems to pick his game up for the bigger matches - which may be crucial in the play-offs.
In terms of other options, J and Aidan could both play there with the likes of Kingy (#1) and Sully along with a few others capable of playing right or left-back to cover.
Then there are the under-21s.
But bigger picture, what an exciting end to the season we have in store.
The play-offs will be extremely tight - even more so this year than normal.
However with the squad we have and the players who might really have to earn a spot on the bench, surely this is our best shot at promotion yet?!
Welcome again Kingy (#2) and Chris. We hope to see you again soon Kieran.
See you all on Saturday.
Fav Army!
