NickJ Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 9 minutes ago, BRISTOL86 said: Whereas if it was any other manager than Johnson your main point would be outrage at Freeman's actions. You, personally, do not, and cannot, know that 'Johnson has handled it badly' is a fair assumption of the scenario. Unless you're Luke or Lee (I have an inkling you might not be Lee ) You (and everyone else not immediately connected to the club) probably know about 1% of the actual detail of the situation. No doubt Ashton and Lansdown have been involved also, in addition to an agent and countless other parties, so how can you lay the blame solely at LJ's door without knowing the full situation? The answer is you can't, and if this exact same scenario happened under Cotterill your vitriol would be directed at the player. Correct. Because Cotterill is 10 times the man manager.

DirtySanchez Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 This sums it up for me personally and Freeman - never consistent - Freeman has played 121 times for the club, scoring ten times. He wants to go back to the smoke. Better to get 300K than a free transfer. Churrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 None of us know Freeman's reasons for wishing to leave We can, however, make some informed guesses:- 1. More money 2. Nearer his home area 3. Not happy with the way he is being used by current manager 4. Belief his career has stalled Good luck to him. Saw him play for Stevenage against City and thought he looked special. Perhaps at QPR he can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly any coaching here at the club is awful. Albert Adomah probably the last player that really developed during his time here. Arguement for Kodja but i suspect he was already very good before he came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Can't blame Luke for wanting to move on, LJ hasn't used him to his best advantage. Was probably Cotts best signing and played a major part in our promotion season. we should thank him for that. Like other players signed by Cotts who LJ has released I expect him to show improvement once he's at his new club, a bargain for QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've recouped our money for him though and from his point of view he's got himself a 3.5 year contract. Based on what I've seen of him in this division I'd have been horrified if we'd offered him a 3 year contract extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keflav Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 This might come back to bite me but don't think he is good enough for the championship, good league 1 player defo his level. Never have I seen a player step over the ball so many time and do nothing at all with it.. Thanks for the Title winning season but not shedding a tear to see him go....

Early in the season I'd have agreed with you. I don;t really care that it's the right move for him. It's not the right move for us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Very disappointing. Another exciting and relatively young player, still with great potential - see Ayling and Burns - that the coach really should have been determined to enhance to City's advantage. If a new manager is on the near horizon no doubt at all he'd have liked to inherit LF in his City squad. I expect LF to thrive at QPR to be comfortable and exciting at Championship level, even under the despicable Hollowhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
