Eastwood to Wolves in the Sun...

[Pubey]

No disrespect to Freddy ..I am more interested in how it helps our Club than him.

yeah good point

"set to sign" means "want".

As some other poster says, it's mad to think that Wolves can afford both of them. It's one or the other at best.

 

[leeblue]

The fact is we have to sell him and I should imagine the club are working their nuts off to get whatever they can for him. IF WE DONT SELL HIM NOW WE WILL LOSE HIM FOR NOTHING AT END OF SEASON. People saying 3 million etc etc is nonsense at this moment I would take 750k.

they have just had £30m of investment after Hayward sold the club on for a tenner, tbf. Still don't think this means they'd go for Sharp and Eastwood, maybe one of them and a more experienced striker.

 

[Cricko2]

IMO.He wont want to go to the Midlands anyway...He a "home" boy and I think he wants a London Club.

We shall see I guess.

Not purporting to be an expert on Wolves finances or anything, but I thought Hayward sold the club years ago? Where did this investment come from.

Mind you, certainly agree with your last sentence. If you had £30m, why would you go and blow 15-20% on two strikers that (broadly speaking) are quite similar?

What does £30 buy you these days?

Steve Morgan who tried to buy Liverpool a year or so ago. Bought 100% of shares and ready to invest £30million squid.

Something fishy about that Marky:p

I'll consider Freddy a Southend player until I see proof on the OS rumors are going to fly around this summer we've got to deal with it

[Shrimper2thecore]

Cant see them signing both of them to be honest, can understand them wanting one of them though

 

[Rayleigh boy]

Can someone please explain why any other club would engage with extended contract talks with their only star player and offer him a contract he deserves where we only exercise the option of an extra year presumably retaining him on realtive peanuts? Not exactly motivational on the back of a season playing alongside a bunch of donkeys.

-


spot on - and why is Tilson wearing such a dreadful shirt on Blues TV - and making sorry noises about wages -

Fred should be sat down and offered decent money for another two years and if it upsets the other senior pros - tough - his talent is on a diffrent level -

 

[Prodigal Son]

To ask "Have we tried offering Freddy a big fat contract?" is a legitimate question.

To assume that we haven't and then criticise the club on that basis is ludicrous. What evidence do you have that the club hasn't tried very hard indeed to persuade Freddy to sign another contract? Everything I have read, which isn't much I agree, points to Freddy not wanting to sign because he would like very much to play at a higher level than League One. Did Tilson or Brush run over your cat, Prodigal? Because you have become very negative in the past few weeks.

:flamer: :thump:

I have no evidence,but find it strange they have not said they have offered a new contract, maybe they have.

I have become negative because the last few games of the season were truly awful ,and without Eastwood confirmed my opinion of us as a one man team and the prospect of no Freddy is not very encouraging.The other forwards are terrible. I thought we went down with a whimper in the end. I am also disappointed that we lost out to Whelpdale because the Billericay chairman said we had the just chance to get it done and dusted well before Peterborough came in. At the same time, the very fact we are still talking to Che Wilson shows a lack of ambiton, he should be on the immediate released list.

It just does not feel right at the moment. Maybe I am still in 'mourning' at relegation, but some of the stuff coming out of the club leaves me less than impressed.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

As Freddie is unable to play at present due to his back injury, and on-one can say when this will have cleared up, who on earth will want to sign him until he is back to being match fit?. This takes us to the end of July when teams have completed their pre season acquisitions so i expect to see him here till January at least, subject to his 'attitude problems' which some people suggest he has.

I am not someone who will never criticise, there are plenty of things the club could and should do better, but IMHO cricism has to be fair. Just because the club hasn't plastered details of negotiations with Freddy all over the papers doesn't mean there haven't been any. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!

Whatever else RM may or may not be, he is a businessman who is very aware of the value of an assett. Freddy signed to another three years is obviously worth a hell of a lot more than Freddy frittering down the last year of this one, and I simply don't think it is credible to postulate that RM would sit on his hands and let a couple of million quid slip through his hands for want of offering Freddy a juicy contract.

I too was very disappointed with the way that the season ended, but I can't agree with you that the other forwards are "terrible". Not good enough to keep us in the CCC agreed, but time will tell if they are good enough for League One. And if Tilly wants Che around for whatever reason then that is good enough for me, whether it is to make up squad numbers (lack of which is a constant complaint, and how many players of even Che's quality would come in to warm a bench for the majority of the season?) or for his happy smiley face to help cement team spirit.

Being disappointed is on its own no justification for complaining about everything that happens or is perceived not to have happened. How can you make an objective analysis if you are always assuming the worst?

yeah but that shirt wsn't even ironed .....

SZ is all about opinions,we differ on this one. Here comes the potentially patronising bit : as you are exiled seeing your few games each season probably makes you cherish each one but me being more local perhaps reveals alot more flaws seeing SUFC on a more regualr basis. I am trying to say we are at opposite extremes, you maybe too rose tinted from afar and me too close and super negative.

In my opinion, Che gets done by a decent winger every time (not many in League 1),is not CCC standard, did not stay in the Brentford or Rotherham teams, so why even think about keeping him?

Our forwards get near the box, but never shoot,more often than not turning to lay it off.Over and again,game after game.That's why I think they are terrible.
