villalad21 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 No one could question his effort levels. Just not good enough for where we are right now. Good luck Freddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 He'll be back as backup for next season. With Elmo and Taylor probably going, he'll be needed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Zlatan still ripping it up at the age of 39... I believe in King Elmo Edited January 31, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we'll be buying better back up for both positions in the summer; don't think Guilbert is of sufficient quality. However, can't rule it out.

I doubt it, think the move back to France is just to get his value up again. I agree it's right time to let AEM go but suspect we'll just get in a young back up, same for LB with potential to grow to become first team player over 12 months.

tomav84 Posted February 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2021 i like the guy but the coaching team don't feel the same clearly i can see elmo renewing for another year personally and us selling fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I’m not entirely sure why he’s fallen so far out of favour but as others have said, the coaching staff see him far more than we do and I trust that they know what they’re doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Liked him from the start. Nice guy with great attitude and always gave 100%. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Doesn't sound like he settled. Great guy great appetite for the game and an absolute road runner but just not at the level. Fist pumping and a great desire will always carry a lot of weight with fans but tbf he had little quality, poor on the ball and very naive with people getting in behind him. With early promotion we were already outgrowing him the day he arrived. Won't be back here. We will go again in the summer and get a young exciting understudy to Cash. Thanks for the 2-0 against Everton. Was an absolute demon that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Maybe unlucky we took the massive leap in performance that we did this season, and whilst I don't think he'd have been as good as Cash has turned out to be, he never got the chance. Shame as I did think he had the ability, but I don't think we can keep a player with his expectations happy waiting for the first choice to get injured. Even then, looks like the coaches preferred ElMo He helped us survive at the end of last season, seemed to be a great professional, and I wish him all the best wherever he ends up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
