Freddy Wants to stay.....

[yogi bear up the cagire]

I know from a reliable source that Freddy has moved back to Essex and both Freddys son and nephew will be joining up with the blues junior sides next season.

Not saying that means he is coming here as really don't know about that.

If, in a number of years if we were to have a team composed of Eastwood's and family, for away games, would that add a new meaning to the concept of travelling fans?

As I put on Twitter:

So Freddy say's it is 60/40 in favour of him staying at #Southend. But as long as he get's a good offer from the club. Oh... #ByeFred

Got to sign him up! I still believe he is a class act. I know people say he looked unfit on his return, but from what I saw (all his home games) he posed more fret than any of our other strikers this season and with a full pre season and regular games he will score shed loads for us next season fingers crossed.

Come home, Freddy.

Come home, Freddy.

Here, Here.

Looks pretty promising. Sturrock wants him, Freddy wants to come back.

Fingers crossed.

From what I've heard (and not connected to anyone as SUFC) he will be signing for a club within commuting distance of his home/family with Orient being one of the favourites at this stage. I also understand that his agent has also made contact with Col U although no idea whether that is likely to be seriously considered.

Freddy keen to stick at Blues

FREDDY Eastwood wants to stay at Southend United.

More...

He will certainly be our highest paid player but worth it in my opinion if he can get fitter pre season. It would also be a massive publicity coup for Luggy and Ron who havent always been too popular with fans.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Must. Sign.

"I have no idea what the offer Southend will put to me is, but if it's a good one then I would seriously consider it." With Smiffy here, I'm very much afraid that quote says it all.............we shall see.

Orient are the club I'm worried about. I'd be heart-broken to see him go there.

I'm sure Eastwood will know what the other players are on and what sort of ball-park he can be expecting. The question for me is whether we think that Paul Sturrock will think that Freddy is worth putting at the top of the wage bracket. Having seen him dumped on the bench for away games, that would be my concern.

£2k a week will put him at the top end here.

Can we afford that and will that be enough?

I don't think so.

 

[Blue_Shrimper1959]

Think it's something we all knew already, but it's good to hear from him. That being said, there's still plenty that could go wrong... I just hope the club offer Fred a respectable contract, as an Eastwood with a full pre-season behind him will tear this division apart next year.

I don't think so.

Matt Paterson's departure may help us on that front.
