Iwan_09 0 Posted May 29, 2009 What does everyone feel about the missed signing of Frecklington? Us and POSH came in for him in February but cos we couldn''t stump up the £200,000 transfer fee he, against his will, moved to the dark side.It really is worrying times when Peterborough United are outbidding us for quality players. Seen a lot of this lad and he is just the type of player we need. Central midfielder who makes intelligent runs and is great on the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwan_09 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Full marks for observation Lord Horn. And there was me scratching my head in a quandry desperately wondering what league they are in...My point - we were in a league above when the deal was put in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least he is a young lad with a bit of ambition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Now if we were to put a squad together from lower and non-league players, the club would surely be able to manage without asking for our rebates. 18,000 ST holders cf. Peterboroughs few thousand should be enough revenue I would have thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
