  While everyone's eyes are on the tattoo and hairstyle tournament taking place in Russia, some important football business is happening here in town right now. DAFC players (all 8 of them in my reckoning) return to pre-season training this week. Six were already on contract and of the ones offered new contracts only one, winger Kadell Daniel, has so far signed on. In addition, striker Inih Effiong has signed following an unsuccessful spell at Ross County. Winger Mitch Pinnock, defenders Manny Parry and Femi Illesanmi, and striker Ryan Bird have all rejected new contract offers and gone to other clubs. I suppose it's inevitable that the club will lose young talent they've developed to League clubs (Pinnock's signed for Wimbledon), but for players to go off to the likes of Maidenhead and Boring Wood is chafing. Expect the usual triallists at training and pre-season games. No doubt Chris Kinnear has found some good players that way, but it would be great not to have to rebuild every season.
