bristolcitysweden Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 For Blades a piss in the ocean but for Luke a hughe recognition and I dare to say; a well deserved one. Show them what you are capable of Luke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underhanded Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Might be in the minority but I always really rated Freeman, and have a feeling he may do alright with The Blades in the Prem. I think it wasn't an inability to perform at Champ level but more of a downturn in form for him. I always thought he had the ability to unlock defences - just didn't really show it when we took the step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDziek Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Always interesting to see how our ex-players are getting on. Fond memories of Freeman as he was an integral part of our 2014-15 team. Fair play to him as he’d gone stale here - Looks like he’s kicked on at QPR and he’s earned his crack at the Prem. I’m sure Sheff Utd will struggle next season but hopefully he’ll bag a few goals and assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't right for the system we played at the time, but would likely to have improved given the chance. Flint looked well out of his depth when he made the step up, but he was afforded time, both by management and supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 @Kid in the Riot do you know how much we paid for Luke (from Stevenage)? Seem to recall he signed a deal to get Stevenage a fee. £250k rings a bell? How much did QPR pay? £350k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much as others but just thought of anyone who was in the squad under SC. Freeman’s a weird one. Did nothing with us outside of L1 to even hint that there was a good championship player there let alone a Premier League one. He was the one player when we got promoted that I thought would tear it up but produced absolutely nothing. Sometimes it just clicks for a player at a club. I think he’d suit our current team a lot more than the one he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d suit our current team a lot more than the one he left. I think that is the point. SC made a mess (assisted by SL and the board) of the transfers post promotion. Freeman was asked to fetch and carry by SC in that season. A job that he did well enough with in a poor standard team for the division. The game away at Reading sticks in my memory as he put in a mammoth amount of effort to lose in injury time. The refs assessor gave me the CD of the match at FT as nothing really happened to concern him. 5m for Freeman is a good deal for them and I'll have him on the bench as a cheap option for my fantasy team!!

No, I can't believe it either. Funny old game. Would the goal scoring opportunities be the ones he squandered ? If past form is anything to go by!

McNasty Filth Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Sure SU have bigger signings lined up considering what went into the coffers for winning promotion. If they haven't, Id be very worried. Freeman will turn out to be a bit part player if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
