chipdawg Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 has he actually signed for some one? Well according to this thread Watford, though I suspect that's news to both Luke Freeman and Watford FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well according to this thread Watford, though I suspect that's news to both Luke Freeman and Watford FC so everyone is getting upset about a player we may or may not sign going to a club who are close to getting to the prem going from an agent talk rumour on sky.........yep lets bash the manager for that, why don't people wait until the season actually starts before we go on and moan about the manager (who has a director of football who should be doing the deals after the manager has identified the player he wants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 City made several bids, to the very limit of what we thought Freeman was worth, and Stevenage turned them all down. It's accepted by manager, and fans, that City will not overpay for players in the future, and many of us are more than happy about that. If Freeman has since had a contract extention activated which changes the situation from January then that will have come as unexpected news to just about everyone. That possibility certainly doesn't seem to be something his agent, or Stevenage, mentioned during any talks with KB or SC in January, so hardly a stick to beat them with now.

LocoPal Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 SC said during the BBC Radio Bristol show at GCCC that we had bids for Freeman turned down, but was not prepared to pay over the odds for a player that 'didn't have enough goals in him' from the midfield. That was his major concern. At that time Freeman had score 5 times including a brace in a single match, finishing the season with 3 goals in the last 4 games. It suggests that he wants someone in that can find those midfield goals on a regular basis. That doesn't often come from a younger player, but an experienced pro with a track record of getting them. Don't think that kind of player will come cheap either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Also I see that Tommy Rowe is about to sign for Wolves... Another player who was linked with us. Think we could struggle to attract the better players even in this league (or L2 for that matter) with Championship clubs constantly sniffing about.

ciderbeans Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 It seems wolves are going to try and buy every young talented player in the lower leagues. They're after freeman, Maguire, Rowe and god knows who else. Can't compete if they're after everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't compete if they're after everyone Seems that way but you got to hand it to them, probably the best way to go about it.. building a young talented squad.

ciderbeans Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 If only we were able to do that. Why we didn't do it when in the championship I don't know. Always seems that we're never I. The right position as a club when all these good youth players come around and all clubs around us snap them up instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hortonred Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 We couldn't compete with Watford but this SC policy of waiting is surely going to mean we miss out on players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 As I understand it, we did act in January and simply failed to get the player due to the fee being more than the club thought he was worth. But I don't think for a moment that he would have come here anyway given our position at that time and the knowledge that he'll have better options. Gloating ? About what exactly ? Its a bit naive to think that its so easy to get decent players to come to a third division club - why should they think of this club as anything other than that ? SC has done well so far on player recruitment (apart from El Abd). Hi Cynic. The gloating I refer to can be witnessed for yourself in the video I shared on post #26 on this very thread. Click on the video and go to 10 minutes 30 seconds in. The next minute is all you need to know. Quite clearly Freeman was wanted, we'd made bids, they were turned down, SC didn't think he was worth paying any more for (even though SL would probably have backed him up if he'd asked), because as he himself said - why pay more than he thinks he's worth when he can get him free in the Summer and you've already spoken to his agent. I'll tell you why you pay more than you think he's worth - because he is worth it. And in spite of all the self-congratulation, he ain't free in the summer, and now you've got no chance of getting him. Watch the video Cynic, and tell me that's not some serious gloating going on at around 11 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
