Likely we will have one of the strongest squads in the league, very pleased with that group of signings.
With a few more likely to be added we will be serious contenders and should be mounting a serious challenge this season.

Great signings - and more to come judging by what SK has said. With at least some of the others yet to confirm this does indeed look very very promising.

Re: Players in/Players out 2020-2021
I go back around 10 months when I and one or two others were basically pleading for the board to take the chance to employ the best manager from at least league 2 down. Thankfully they did, and now with the signings announced yesterday we are starting to witness the mans ability to attract top class players to the club. We have all mentioned it in one way or another but this is a fantastic time to be a DFC fan. The ride continues

Now we need some stability, let's hope that the deals keep these quality players with us for a few seasons. Anybody know what the NLS odds are for next season, can't find them online?

One of the things which most pleases me about the six recent arrivals is the fact that, although already experienced, four of them are comparatively young.

Impressive signings to say the least, but you wouldn't expect anything less from Mr King. Even before these signings, I'd expect Dartford to be among the favourites.
Re: Players in/Players out 2020-2021
Certainly some top signings there. Just being a little circumspect as we pretty much all thought Delano Sam-Yorke and (the actor) Adam Cunnington were also great signings.
I joined in the goading of Ricky Modeste at Billericay last time we were there. From reading about him, he is fit, physical, works hard, crosses well with his right foot and will defend. At 32, his availability could be lower than his twenty-something counterparts. Not sure if he allows goading fans to get in his head, but in the game at Billericay, he came on as sub and did little but fall over. Perhaps just a poor day at the races.
Great to have Essam back on board, he really was one for the future (quite literally, as it turns out) when previously at DFC.
McQueen leaving is a pity, but not a surprise. Let’s hope Jack Barham can fill in the goal gaps there and maybe Sheringham will be with us to bolster things up front. As said before, Steve King exudes confidence and we should be aiming for the very top this season.

Spoke to a friend who lives in Dover, he said that Ricky was still one of their best players last season.
Re: Players in/Players out 2020-2021
As Reg says, an exciting time to be a DFC fan. The signings are impressive. This is SK’s squad to a man, decisions on a few from last seasons squad and a few more new signings. The challenge ahead is massive, surely one of the toughest South divisions ever.
