If we cant find a buyer i would just keep him around the first team squad as backup etc, apart from salary saving, serves us absolutely zero value sending him out on loan until his contract expires. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2022 I think the only question remaining around Monsieur Guilbert is "how much?". He's a decent player who wasn't happy here - he's been excellent in France for two seasons and hopefully there will be a bit of interest. Is £7m ambitious? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we will keep him as I think KKH might be back up next year. I like Fred, hope he finds the right spot and does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean England I think - by the sound of his comments he wasn't happy here in the Midlands, I don't know if that's a football thing, a cultural thing or a family thing, but I don't think he'd want to come back here and I'm not sure he'd consider another Premier league team - some players just don't fit into some cultures.

Which comments? I'm pretty sure there were always rumours that he wasn't happy, but I'm also pretty sure he always denied them (via Instagram stories usually) and said he was.

KAZZAM Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I said it before our best bet in retaining our value in him is swapping him for someone else in Ligue 1. I just don't believe the midtable clubs in France are gonna be able to pay 5-10 Mill on him which is clearly his value. We need to identity a young player we like and offer them Freddie in return and maybe a future 20% fee on there youth player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 If we can't find a buyer for 5m+ (or swap deal for a team with a youth prospect), we'd be much better off keeping him for a season. He'd put pressure on Cash knowing his place in the starting 11 isn't guaranteed, and be able to rotate in for the early cup rounds without (I believe) weakening the team. It's an easy choice. If we loan him out again I'll be disappointed, but I'll get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's gone straight to Gerrard and said "Je voudrais allez a la France, Rodney", it would be remiss of Gerrard not to at least take a look at him. Particularly in this motorised wing back system we have been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Love it. Always been a player in there, deserves to have a shot at challenging Cash especially after the two seasons he’s had in France. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Would like him to stay and finish his contract. At his best he can be decent competition for Mr Cash and him staying gives Kesler another season getting games and experience on loan, hopefully in the Champ. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
