rbcuk Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Madness how we didn’t recall him in January unless there was a clause that we couldn’t as could have easily slotted in at left back instead of having to play young there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's any money in French football bar 2 teams. So unless a team scrapes survival in the prem this season or a team coming up buy him, he's not going to be sold for anymore than we paid for him. I could see his style working in Italy well. So don't be suprised us selling him for 3 million and then him going to atlanta or somewhere soon after for 3 times the price which seems the thing we do with French players.

Rennes have a bit these days so that feels a good fit. That's the thing, everyone on here keeps on saying he's amazing on loan....and yet no one ever buys him permanently. He cost us what 3m when we were in the championship so doubt he's on stupid wages either. We probably should've loaned him out to someone in championship like Davis as with 12 months left on his deal he obviously isn't getting a new one when he's barely played since late end of 2019 for us.

He was one of the only reasonably consistent players we had in his first year with us. Most of the team were a shambles, not individually but collectively. Again was one of the only ones to show team work and fight for the team. As soon as cash was signed, who to me is a very simular player, Freddie would be number 2 and at his stage career wise, I would be suprised if he would be happy to just take the 4 x pay rise and sit out each game, he wants to play. Would have kept him if it were down to me as he offered some steel which our team lacks, has pace and can play in a number of positions as cover. But we now have Chambers so fred will have to be sold. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sort of called him a liar after Cash was signed Was either Smith or Lange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Not good enough for us, unfortunately. I don't think he was as bad as some on here called him, but he's not the savior we're looking for either. He's a bottom half Prem level player, which was a bargain buy for us as a Championship team not even in playoff contention at the time he penned his contract. Would rather us start to rotate KKH into the squad or if he's not ready yet, find another veteran to fill the gap for a season until he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Our most successful loan out over the last 2 seasons? He is too good for backup to Cash, and probably would not want to be anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
