Yep - let us keep that in mind before we jump up and down with anger due to the Pies having so many pre-trade week victories. They have the money no doubt, but IMO its a bit reckless with regard to how they spend it.
Treloar I get (replaces Beams, adds a midfield jet for post Swan and Pendlebury era, possible future captain) and I understand the NEED for those players but its a but trigger happy in my book for two reasons.
1. Scharenberg, Langford, Moore, Freeman (who is currently at odds over his contract), De Goey and Maynard will all look at those contracts and say 'why not us - where is our pay day).
2. When those listed above come of their inflated contracts currently, they will more than likely use the current contracts as a starting point for negotiations.
3. I get Aish. I get Treloar because they make the Pies' best 22 now and the future better. Kreuzer may do the same. But the others? Maybe in the now (for a team that finished 12th) but for the future? It may happen but it also may not.
