Curr Avon Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 City appear intent to land the 14 goal, Gillingham midfielder. But if their latest reported bid of £1.5million is rebuffed by the Medway men, would City consider offering Freeman, plus cash as tasty bait?

simon uk Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Cant see freeman would take that move!! There is thie issue that we had 5 or 6 of the best players in league 1 last seaso n who have struggled, whos to say whether dack could step up?

Olé Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 What's everyone's obsession with giving away players as part of getting ones in? When the loan players go back to their respective clubs we'll be able to take the remaining squad to away games in a Zafira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we do that we don't have enough players in our squad as it is, player swap deals are insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burt_ Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Freeman isn't playing particularly well at the moment - but that is (IMO) is because his confidence is shot. He showed last season that he is a quality player. If you were going to offer anyone as a makeweight in a player + cash deal, it would surely have to be Pack. He is nowhere near Championship level and wouldn't even warm the bench at the vast majority of clubs in this division. The fact he can get a regular start really highlights how short on quality the squad currently is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazelboy Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 A truly astonishingly ridiculous idea. I know Freeman is currently sat in the 'scapegoat of the month' chair but come on? Seriously? Freeman & cash? Seriously? Dack is a decent player I'm sure, but if he's as good as everyone makes out, why are BCFC the only club to make an offer for him?? Freeman was out Most influential player last year, struggling (nowhere near as badly as some make out) in a team that is struggling near the bottom of the table and has now been written off to the point of being used in a makeweight deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneybcfc Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 This is a serious case of playing too many football management games growing up, player part exchanges used to be the rage a while ago. But in reality how common are they? Probably a few a season across all the English leagues at most... It just doesn't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find some of the criticism he gets on here and Twitter remarkable. No he's not as influential as he was last year, other than Korey who is? But he still creates the majority of our chances and works hard and gets stuck in. Last season he'd pick the ball up and have lots of people showing for the ball, this season not so much which means he'll often get disposed waiting for a run. He and the team will benefit from the likes of Gladwin and Tomlin and confidence will return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 With the players we have signed in Gladwin and Tomlin I do wonder if for Freeman's and our sake a month long loan with recall clause at somewhere like Cov could be a good idea. He needs an injection of confidence and I think playing in a winning side may give him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
