There is no real rush for recruiting though at this stage. The only recruiting at the moment is of inter-A-league movements, and I am not convinced there is any talent that will improve our side on the A-league free transfer list. Then of course the European season is still going, and realistically most if not all of our European targets will be free agents at seasons end. European contracts end 30 June and apart from a few most will hold out until close to that date in order to stay in Europe or will at least field offers from around Europe, meaning a lot may not look into any overseas offers (us) until into July. With the season starting in October, I assume pre-season will start late July, there is little difference between signing players now and at the start of pre-season. So really, while we should be looking at players of course I would not be at all concerned if there were no new signings in the next two months.
