If Currie comes in Barnet have a few decent players that may follow and are also out of contract

Memories of Barry Fry nicking all those decent players from Barnet. Would be good if the outcome was similar.
Also from Fry’s Barnet there was Ed Stein-assistant manager-and Gary Poole-via one season at PlymouthIn the end I think he only signed 4 from Barnet: Derek Payne, Micky Bodley, David Howell and Jonathan Hunt and they had limited impact. Bodley (65 games) was the only one to have played more than 50 times. We did get a decent sized fee for the underused Hunt though.
What transformed the side was the money from the Collymore sale which allowed is to sign Otto from Orient, Lee from Lincoln and Mooney from Scarborough.
On Osadebe and Vassell you would have thought the contract if signed was 18 months with an option. Did Vassall ever sign? We heard nothing? Osedebe may have done but we have heard nothing. Not aware of either player signing elsewhere?
We need a manager to be signing people. And first a decision on who will be going. We can have a positive window based on keeping a number of players that maybe we assume (without evidence at this point) will go.
So it will be mid Aug before we should be very worried by lack of activity- bearing in mind we may be able to sign not register anyone up till a certain time (this might mean we make signings that we don't announce adding to our angst!!)
Not sure the budget will be going on any defenders. We already have Lennon, Kyprianou, White, Bwomono, Ralph, Clifford, Demetriou, possibly Vassell.
Two experienced central midfielders and, assuming McLaughlin is off, a couple of wingers are far more necessary. And we'll also need a new striker or two.
All in all, this squad is horrendously unbalanced and it's going to take more than one transfer window to sort it out.

Assuming all the above stay, I think Demi is best deployed in centre midfield. With Lennon and White (more recently) never too far away from their next injury, we desperately need defenders.
Kyprianou is another defender who has been hit hard by the injury bug.
With Demetriou we also need to consider how often he can play. The late start is unlikely to help in that regard as it will presumably mean more midweek fixtures.
The defence is shockingly light IMO.
A back three of White, Dieng & Lennon is the stuff of nightmares. We need at least one dominant centre half who can marshal the back line.
In Midfield we’re desperate for a destroyer, someone who can do the dirty work, and feed the creative players. Someone in the Deegan mould, but better.
Up top worries me. If it’s Goodship & Kelman, then they’ll need the ball on the floor, and plenty of support from the midfield. Lg2 CB’s will mop them up if we constantly resort to route one football.
We need it, yes. We won't get it though. The defence is a low priority area because we have numbers. The budget only goes so far.
