One thing Willy showed last season is that he was very loyal, rightly or wrongly, but loyalty is a two way street so maybe a few names already mentioned may have already burnt their bridges. He has been in town a month or so now so will have had a better look at players in the MPL, more so that last season.
The number of imports will depend on the budget, sound like their may be a Dutch midfielder on the way out here (Peter65 will be happy to hear this) to work for Mainland like Jesse did last season, understand that he has played at a higher level than Jesse did so may be OK
Sounds like the Dragon's are likely to play most of their home games on Sunday so that may count a few out who see a Saturday night out a higher priority than footy.
If Tom Batty is back in town then surely would came into consideration. With the MPL almost at an end training cannot be two far away from getting underway so the picture will become a little clearer then.
