I will miss your passive aggressive social media posts about lack of game time, despite being far inferior to our other options.

rbcuk Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Best of luck to him, wasn’t as bad as some are making out, we’ve wasted a lot more ££ on a lot worse a player than Guilbert who helped us stay up in that 1st season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was signed with a view to playing in the championship when he joined, it was only that incredible 10 game run that put pay to that plan.

mikeyp102 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I always liked Freddie, loved a slide tackle had good energy and scored when playing lb. Wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 He's wanted to go for ages but if someone is going to offer you Prem money you aren't going to throw that away without a pay off. He played in a team that just wanted to bomb the full backs forward were a defensive mess. I'd have liked to have seen him in a more solid team but it wasn't to be. Can't fault his effort from when I have seen him play, good luck to him he did well in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a punch up with someone high up at the club, so his card was marked from then on basically. He felt very harshly treated and lashed out basically. By all accounts a really nice guy though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was, at worst, decent cover but also showed flashes of real potential... knew something had gone on behind the scenes. "High up" mean management or players? Because it's pretty unusual not to get a load of public Instagram 'good luck' messages from other players. I assumed he'd tried it on with another player's partner or something such was the blacklist regardless of management team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been a real rush of blood to the head for that to happen. i am assuming it was Deano, and i cant imagine Deano standing for that, Smith seems soft in a lot of ways, but also very principled, and not likely to forgive that kind of event (who knows tho - im totally guessing).

Tomaszk Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Surely you can cancel someone's contract for that? Anyone outside the football side of things and you would. Especially if you didn't want the player any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
