I do hope your right,and he signs for us and he turns into the player we all know he can be. I have to say though, if Freddy is such a gamble at 4 grand a week for someone else, he is also a gamble for Southend at say 2 to3k a week esp when we have another gamble in Barry Corr, and an ageing Harris, who is also prone to injuries.Stevenage were interested and nothing came of it.
Would a club really pay 4 grand a week for a player who hasnt played in two years and just getting over an injury ?
Freddy is a gamble now, thats one of things in our favour.
100 grand for Freddie is a bargain, he could put that on the seats ads shirt sales; a good bonus/play/goals contract would work for all parties: and if he hasn't got the confidence to believe he can get a minimum of a goal every other start then maybe he isn't up for it.

I'd discount shirt sales. Can't see that many extra buying a shirt because of him, and from what I remember we don't actually make any money from shirt sales. Unfortunately we're not Manchester United. As has been said, there's a decent chance of bringing in 200+ more on average per game (which I believe is more realistic than 500/game) which at £15 a pop is £3,000 per game or over 23 games £69,000, easily paying for him. Surely the entertainment he would bring, the financial bonuses he would likely bring, the high chance of being higher up the table with him than without him and the much increased chances of being in League One rather than League Two next season would mean that paying him £2,000 a week would be do-able? Plus, if he does do well then we've got a saleable asset on our hands. I'd be wary of going much above the 2k mark, but if the club/Ron can afford it, in a way we can't afford not to, these opportunities don't come around very often.100 grand for Freddie is a bargain, he could put that on the seats ads shirt sales; a good bonus/play/goals contract would work for all parties: and if he hasn't got the confidence to believe he can get a minimum of a goal every other start then maybe he isn't up for it.
