i see what you are saying

but i'd pick svenny over thorne personally.
Its a tricky one this, we can't go out and buy great players, but i did hope That we'd get some decent prospects at least. Of course we've not seen these guys play yet so any real judgement at this stage would be harsh. Take the point about green/francis though, the bulk of our transfer money was always going to come from selling them 2. AS we know we spunked most of our cash on ashton last season, and I still think he was a bargain!!
Final point is that these players may not be any worse, but are they any better? If not I'd of rather kept the old squad together, spirit innit.
