Old Man Andrews genome But I'm not. Discussion is fine. Whinging is annoying.
It's not that hard a concept to grasp, fellas.
I understand what you're saying to a degree but if someone massively disagrees with a signing or potential signing then it will only ever come across as a whinge even if that isn't their intent. If someone is explaining the reasons why they are against it then I am not sure you can have an issue with that. If it was a case of "HE'S SHITTTT LOLZ" then your point would be fair but I think those against have given reasons as to why.
Yeah, expressing a genuine rationale for disliking a signing should never be frowned upon. Exclaiming "Where's the money gone" "Why aren't we signing X for £y million instead", writing someone off simply because they come from a lower league, or complaining our transfer window is a disaster in May or June, or that we haven't signed a 20 goal striker in June is fair game.
Complaining about the signing of a 37 year old is also always fair game. Complaining about signing someone off the back of a double relegation is perfectly fine. Complaining about signing someone in a position we already have adequate options when there are others we don't is also fine. Although assuming we're making no effort to sign someone in those other areas simply because we sign x in y area is not.
