Not in any way a criticism of either Franks or Matt. As you say they may turn out to be very good signings. However both were signed on free transfers from clubs who finished below us in the League last season.
If your fear that we are potentially 'overstretched' making signings like these is correct, then we really are in trouble.
Whilst Labadie , Butler & Amond were signed from teams that had been relegated.
Your point?
Try reading my post in conjunction with Bush's post. I clearly state both Franks and Matt may be very good signings. Bush fears that we may be overstretched signing them. My point is that they are League Two players and we should not be in a financial position whereby we are overstretched signing such players. Especially after last season's Cup run.
Seriously mate, did you or are you
a) not reading my post properly,
b) being deliberately misleading or,
c) not quite ninepence in the shilling?
Edit.
Having thought about this I think on balance I should cut to the chase.
Bush and me are having a discussion and broadly disagree. It is what a football message board is all about. I try to persuade Bush that I am right and listen to his counter arguments, he does the same. We may end up agreeing, we may not.
The discord comes from Alan G Bryant. Nobody properly reading my post could have come to the conclusion he in effect claims to have done. Time and again he has done this. His purpose in my view is clearly to end debate by dragging anyone who disagrees with his view down into the gutter. Reducing healthy debate and argument into mindless bickering.
Carry on if you must mate, from now on every time this tactic is tried I am though, just going to call it out.
