The Citizens have made a plethora of new signings, with the current count standing at 7 new additions to the squad, whilst four players have also left the club. The new arrivals include Alex Boss, a former Bangor Academy player, who started the season at Aberystwyth and experienced Argentine Hugo Colace who played for Barnsley. They have also signed former Uruguayan U20 international Federico Tobler and Argentine centre forward Agustin Zicarelli, a product of the acclaimed River Plate Academy.
So there is a truly international flavour to the Citizen's squad these days. Exactly how many of these new signings will feature in tomorrow's game remains a mystery, as some of the transfers will require international clearance, and with so many players joining at one time, it will be interesting to see how long it takes them to gel together.
In our meeting earlier in the season, which ended 1-1, Flint manager Niall McGuinness was mightily impressed with Bangor, and in tomorrow's programme notes describes them as just about the best side he's faced in the league. They have obviously been unable to keep up this form consistently, but with the new consortium now running the club it's clear that they intend to be bidding to rejoin the top tier of Welsh football sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, our own latest signing, Jordan Barrow, has received the necessary clearances and is able to join the squad for tomorrow's match. Also returning after suspension and illness respectively, are Brandon Burrows and Andy Brown.
