Hogan from Gateshead and Whitehead from Macclesfield who were two of the better players in the National league the previous year (Whitehead could have played in league 2 with Macc but chose staying down with Salford instead) Nathan Pond who dropped from Fleetwood in league 1 (same as the keeper Neal) Redmond FROM man United who was trialling with league 1 and 2 teams, Gafney from League 1 Bristol rovers.

It's an expensively put together team, I'm not sure why you'd pretend it wasn't? Although I think it does have a lot of national league experience in it, which is important too.
Maynard play in the FL? Don't think so. Neal has, besides Port Vale yes ago, been reserve keeper everywhere he's been. Pond is ancient.
The rest are NL players for the first time and signings from from current NL sides. They are paying OTT for players because these players agents demand it with their owners infamous wealth. They are top dollar for a couple or three. The rest are comparible with players we've got.
Pearson to pond
Lainton to Neal
Kennedy to Maynard
