The squad is already coming together pretty nicely. We still need 2 wingers, 1 cb, 1 replacement for Zerrouki and replacements for both Brenet and Smal if/when they leave. Younes Taha already signed for the club, but he is not in the game yet.

There are some rumours atm, especially around Pellistri and Eiting. They would be great players for us I think. After this I don't know how much room there would be in the budget for further players, but I hope we can have a maximum of 3-4 loan players. It's also important to have a good mix of young talents and experience. I've added a few players that are available on a free transfer atm. I have no idea how feasible they are. I also added a few players that might be available for cheap.

There are some talented players from the academy that might break through this season like Mesbahi, Yegoian, Rots, Besselink and to a lesser degree Ribbers, Geypens, Sybrandy and Iylia. I'm convinced that at least Mesbahi and Yegoian will have their break-through seasons.

I expect Brenet and Smal to leave, and I hope Bruns and Daan Rots will be loaned out to a team like Zwolle or GAE once replacements have been signed. Perhaps also Sem Steijn, depending on how he does in pre-season. I also hope Sam Karssies will be sold or released and one of the more talented youth goalkeepers gets a chance.
