wiltshire_exile Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Stevenage's best player today, was running rings round Wagstaff in the second half, which threatened to bring them back into the game until we scored against the run of play!

Super Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think he could go to a lower championship club. Very good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I actually hope we do keep hold of jet but I think we should at least buy this kid with a view to taking jets place as it is possible someone could come in with crazy money. He is the forward/winger we need ad that people have been calling for and I'm sure we would fit him in somehow. He would definately add to the goal tally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Pringles being scouted by many top Championship Clubs, and I think one Premier Club. No chance well get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Ha ha, nice one Ralph. You also mentioned him on this forum a few days ago. After I pointed out that he was out of contract and maybe worth an enquiry in January, you proceeded to state : "Luke Freeman. is another busted flush, who seems to be tumbling down the leagues. After promise at Gillingham then Arsenal, he weighed up with a massive 2 goals last season, for a Winger Striker type, it's awful." Are you still sticking by this Ralphy, or do you now agree with me that he is a very talented player and one you'd love to see at AG. http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/160004-new-players-in-january/page-2 Game and set and match to Harry. Sat with my eldest lad today we both agreed he was their standout player - but not much to beat. Not sure personally if he's quite good enough for a team with hopefully promotion aspirations next season, unless its from the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I was thinking how he would be accepted by our fans if he was in our team, he seemed to have a very laid back attitude when playing the ball - some would probably class him as lazy. He was good today against what was infront of him, i would like to see how he does against other opposition. IMHO JET is better - goals win games and JET seems to have them.

CityFarAndWide Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Amusing how we are clapping our hands at the thought of him but the Stevenage fans include him as part of their "Problem" Don't get me wrong I sure thought he look decent today and have banged on about him previously (I was unfortunate enough to be forced to watch Stevenage a number of times due to the misses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_bristol Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 No need to alter formations. He could easily play more central with his control, passing ability etc. perhaps we could use our profit from selling JET to pay for him.......!! Interesting shout. Don't think we should sell jet for less than 2 mil unless his contract is running out. The way I see it is turning down an offer <2m will more than likely keep us in div 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdc Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Just seen this on Stevenage website http://www.stevenagefc.com/news/article/january-battle-for-freeman-30.12.13-1263230.aspx Looks as if he is destined for the Championship, so cannot see him coming here. Cannot blame the guy though as he is head and shoulders above League 1. Dont know anything abour Lopez, Dunne or Shroot but it looks as if they will also be off as Stevenage would seem to be skint.

marksy Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Without him, Stevenage have no attacking threat really.I wonder how much he would cost bearing in mind he may be OOC in the summer...Other question is where would he fit in to the team as it is? In place of wagstaff?Wagstaff keep him out of the team? YEA ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Marksy, I will agree, he is a better option than wagstaff. But then where does that leave wagstaff as Moloney is the other option. With wagstaff not being used (if we signed freeman) we have another older player under contract on reasonable wages not being used.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Maloney will only be 25 in Jan, Wagstaff 24 in March. not quite sure what you are getting at by 'older' in this circumstance. Freeman is 21. None of them are particularly 'old' Bizarre Ralphie, old boy. It wasn't that many weeks ago you were insisting none of the players were that young either! They must be just the right age then, right now. So roll on 2014. Happy New Year to you, Ralph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 'Righty', me old mucker, I believe the conversation you refer to related to signings made by the previous incumbent/DOF, which were beginning to 'buck the trend' of the 5 pillars as opposed to adhere to them more over than not as in we were signing players over whatever it was, 23? I cant remember, Ive slept since then That was ages ago, plus no way on this planet would I consider 21-25 old in football terms. It's still possible despite the young age to have experience however. Hope that clarifies your boggle, 'Righty' Happy Year Nou to you as well Clear as mud, Ralph! Thank you for that. Well, whether they are old enough, or young enough, the next four months will suggest strongly whether they are good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Not saying they are old, just older than freeman and although I would love us to sign him, it would make either wagstaff or Moloney, Bryan or Cunningham redundant if we kept 3-5-2. Hence why we would be left with an 'older' player not being used again on a reasonable contract. A few similar players spring to mind a la Fontaine, killkenny, Pearson, harewood etc etc signing freeman may upset the applecart but someone of his quality can't be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a good chance. Thats brave saying he will stay til the summer. The bids may have been a cheeky 50k. Whos to say someone wont come in with a 300k offer. They will find that hard to turn down for a player who will walk for only compensation in the summer.

Theres a long time left in the window yet I thought them announcing he'd going nowhere this early in the window seemed odd and frankly, it seemed a slightly desperate attempt to drum up interest from higher up. If there are League One teams in for him I pray we are one of them, though wonder if they are holding out for the sums being chucked about we might be priced out. But, if you put two-and-two together, SC talking about needing wide-men and this "bids from League One"... I realise I'm making 5, but hope to hell I'm right.

formerly known as ivan Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Not sure why he would replace Wagstaff who is being used as a right wing back when Freeman is a left winger. If we did some how manage to sign him I would have thought it would mean a change in formation or him being played as an attacking central midfielder.

Mendip City Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 My thoughts are that it's odd that Stevenage are saying this, at this time. More likely trying to increase interest in the player and bump the price up. There's still a good chance JET will be off and although not a direct replacement, Freeman would be a very good addition and enable a switch to 442 (assuming at least Barnett is signed). Anyway, that's enough pure speculation for this time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
