LIKE many, Grimsby Town's Craig Disley has been impressed with the Mariners' transfer business so far this summer.
The skipper believes the signings of Scott Neilson and Scott Kerr represent a real statement of intent from Rob Scott and Paul Hurst.
And Disley feels both 'Scotts' will prove to be "massive" acquisitions ahead of the Conference's big kick-off in just over eight weeks' time.
Speaking to the Telegraph, he said: "You have to say, the signings so far have been top drawer.
"You look at the impact Scotty Neilson had when he came here last season and he was different class to be fair. When he left, we definitely missed him.
"I think he'll be a massive signing for us this season and I'm looking forward to seeing him again because he's a cracking lad and a big part of the dressing room.
"I know Scotty Kerr well from playing against him over the years.
"As he's said, we've always had some good battles during our carEers and it's good to have him on our side now.
"He's a very good footballer and likes to get on the ball and play a pass.
"I think he's going to be great addition to the squad. I think he's a similar age to me, he might be a bit older, but I'll have to check on that!
"But in all seriousness it will be nice to have that bit more experience in the squad because I think that's really going to help us next season.
"We'll have to adapt our games to each others, but we're both experienced lads and been around the box a few times, but I'm sure that we'll quickly jell because he's a very good footballer and it's easy to jell with good footballers."
Following the additions of Kerr and Neilson, the joint bosses have been working behind the scenes to bring more new faces into Blundell Park.
And having skippered last season's squad to the club's best finish in recent years, Disley is looking forward to seeing who else will be onboard for the Mariners' next assault on the Conference title.
He continued: "It's exciting times for the club and I can't wait to see what ideas the managers have. I'm looking forward to seeing them implemented and cracking on next season.
"I'm just like a fan at the end of the day, I'm always looking forward to see who the next new signing will be.
"I'm under no illusions as to the quality of player that the gaffers are looking to bring in.
"We are a few bodies short of where they want us to be so I'm sure they'll be working hard to get them in."
