Despite Ryan's statement that the current squad have earned their places, some good additions will hopefully be added across the summer.
Being in East Welling....Guildford "Surrey Wings" :) and a Shots fan locally (hatred of Woking works as well) there is a massive clear out happening at Aldershot. Whether those players would drop down to Step 3 and of course can we afford them another matter...but the release list is huge.
That account "Free Agent Showcase" on Twitter is fantastic. I can't imagine it's the wisest strategy to use that anywhere near as much as scouting and what not, but it does give some ideas of who is out and about in the market.
Ebbsfleet and Maidstone have announced players who will not be offered new contracts as well. The five players that we had on loan will return to their clubs (although I would love to see Sam Smith back if Dartford release him) so there are vacancies in the squad.
To summarise, so far it's Aymen El-Mogharbel, Dean Gunner, Troy Howard and Lekan Majoyegbe confirmed for next season. Someone suggested Ade Azeez too, but I haven't seen that announcement.

A bit of a nomad but to use one of Ryan's phrases he is a warrior. I agree Ryan looked good against us at Potters Bar and they seemed to go downhill when he went off. I liked him when he was here previously and I am sure he will do well for us.

It's very much the case, looking at Twitter and what not, that most feel the same. This looks like the sort of team, given the stability and continuity, that ought to rack up points well.
We have signed Demaray Anyadike, gives us some good depth on the wings to stop Troy and John from facing the same level of fatigue they did last season.
