Fair play, this is a huge message of intent. If these 8 are predominantly starters, then Curlio has pretty much got his own team, assuming there are 4 or 5 of the old squad he's happy to not only keep but play.
Double edged sword... if this lot gel, he's a genius. If they don't.... well he has no excuse.
Really hope it's the former!

Very impressed with his signings so far. Any concerns of him not being backed by KT have been quashed. Midfield in particular is looking strong and much more capable of creating opportunities/goals. The back 4/5 still need re-enforcing, and it will be interesting to see if he sticks with Williams and/or Morias - might depend on who else he can bring in. The real test is of course how he manages HIS team... no excuses now.

A good set of signings so far however for me the jury is still out in terms of KC's style of play, tactics and game management.

It’s all about how the team gel and fight for each other. I would say that I am impressed with the type of characters he has signed . There aren’t many snowflakes amongst that lot of new lads.

Despite all the negativity on these boards over the last few months, I believe that the 8 signings so far, prove that KC/KT are up for the fight, and their intent to achieve promotion is clear... 2019/20 might just be special... Absolutely.. You have to take into consideration that 99% of the negativity has come from considerably less than 1% of the "support".

Dissapointed with Curle last season, he starts next with a clean sheet for me now. KT has invested well, only what he has saved from ditching the high earners. Adams is a massive coup though so well done all round

Really pleased with the business done over the summer so far. Nicky Adams and Alan McCormack give us what we've been missing in midfield since the end of the title winning season.
Curle had a free ride last season where he was picking a team from a group of players signed by five different managers. This season is where he will be scrutinised and judged, he's made a superb start to it.
Surprised that Andy Williams is still at the club given Curle doesn't seem to be a fan?

I'm not so sure. In KC's recent interview he was quick to praise all our current strikers. He said something along the lines of "all our strikers will benefit from Nicky Adams' delivery. Junior Morias, Andy Williams & Smith are all goalscorers and they will know when they make a run Nicky will find them". Doesn't sound like any are going any time soon.

Our signings certainly look good on paper, and have caught the attention of the other potential challengers in the division. I think we're perhaps one pacy striker away from having a very formidable starting X1. I'd also like to see us sign a left-sided winger who can start on the bench and give us the option of switching to 4-4-2 if necessary. Time will tell, but Curle has shown encouraging signs that he might be significantly better at recruitment than his predecessors. The main question now, as you say, is whether Curle can mould them into a cohesive unit and achieve the promotion that has so far eluded him.
