Bargain basement

At the start of the season the starting eleven of NCM's best value for money League Two transfers will be revealed.

Before that Editor Gary Moss goes through some of the best deals clubs have got so far.
Lee... Unknown who will flourish with Posh


Peterborough could have snapped up a star in the making, recruiting ex-Tottenham defender Charlie Lee.

Lee, 20, arrives at London Road with a wealth of experience from his Spurs days.

The former reserve team captain never made a senior appearance at White Hart Lane, but enjoyed a fruitful run in the reserves picking up a championship medal and playing alongside some now top Premiership faces.

Posh have signed the youngster on a four-year deal and NCM are tipping him to become one of League Two's best summer signings.

He is confident on the ball and reads the game supremely. Despite his relatively small frame, he is also fantastic in the air.

Brown... Will be a key league Two acquisition
Brentford's swoop for goalkeeper Simon Brown could too prove a worthwhile addition.

With all of last year's top clean sheet goalkeepers earning promotion to League One, the division has already proved how important it is to have a reliable first choice number one.

Steve Phillips (Bristol Rovers), Dimitrios Konstantopoulos (Hartlepool) and Clayton Ince (Walsall) were the league's top three stoppers last year and as a result will all be enjoying a higher standard of football in the forthcoming season.

So, the Bees capture of ex-Hibernian keeper Brown could prove indispensable to their fight for promotion.

After several successful seasons in the Scottish Premier League, Brown returns to England hoping to be on board a team moving onwards and upwards.

Notts fans will also be hoping they have plucked out one of the summers best deals.

They have brought in out of contract striker Spencer Weir-Daley from over the Trent.

The 21-year-old proved hot property amongst many chasing League Two sides after several impressive loan spells in the division last season.

The striker snubbed both League Two rivals Bradford City and Lincoln City in favour of a move to Meadow Lane, and it may turn out to be a good decision after seeing some of boss Steve Thompson's useful close season signings.

Rochdale may be the leagues dark horses next year, having seen chief Keith Hill go quietly about his summer business.

The Dale boss has most notably secured the signings of Ben Muirhead and ex-Man City man Nathan D'Laryea.

The divisions longest servers remarkably clinched a ninth placed finish last year after flirting with the drop zone at Christmas.

Williams... Scored plenty last term but still a freebie!

They were the divisions most improved outfit and with a couple more of Hill's handy signings, they could be play-off contenders.

Wrexham's capture of Eifion Williams may prove to be a shrewd move if he manages to reproduce some of his end of season form with Hartlepool last year.

Williams, 31, played a key role in helping the Pool to promotion but has dropped down a division after being released by boss Danny Wilson.

His experienced head may just turn around the Dragons fortunes after a disappointing relegation fight for the entire of last season.

Chester City's new midfield duo Kevin Ellison and Ritchie Partridge from Tranmere and Rotherham respectively look set to give the Blues a vital boost next year.

City endured a woeful end to the campaign last time around and new wide men from higher reaches of the Football League could prove what is needed to bolster their ranks.

Both will be willing to work hard for the team and grind out some positive results for City.

NCM will be back with some more of the division's best summer signings as we go in hunt for the divisions new signings dream team…
