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
I didn't say Maynard had played in the football league. But him, Hogan and Whitehead were all top players in our league.

If the point you are making is that you don't need to look at the FL to get good players then I agree.

We only finished a few points behind them so I would say our team last year was pretty comparable with theirs. The difference came in their strikers.
