Saint Garrett Posted 26 May, 2022 Share Posted 26 May, 2022 I’d take Fredericks on a 2 years contract tbh. Be decent backup, quick. Probably got a bit unfortunate that Coufal was so impressive this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mere 5 points ahead of us - when we could only muster a mere 5 points in the last 12 games. Gerard did an average job, nothing more. You're right though, the likes of Ings, Buendia, Bailey and Digne have all flattered to deceive for the best part of 120 million Strange team. Blew us away, went toe to toe with Liverpool, but also lost a batch of games you thought they'd be favourite for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird of the land Posted 27 May, 2022 Share Posted 27 May, 2022 3 hours ago, Chez said: Do any 29 year old Prem free transfers sign one year deals with new clubs? Can’t say I know. I can remember Rodwell signed 1 year deal when he joined Sheffield utd. He must have been that sort of age. If he’s not interested in such a deal(or one that only incentivized a second year on game time) then we should move on to a different target. Really no point in signing cover to a longer term contract when we may only need for 6 maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 27 May, 2022 Share Posted 27 May, 2022 Lots of players leaving is something I heard last night. Also "I thought they were going to offer Long a new contract but not so sure now." None of this is earth shattering news, just sharing anything I get in the vague hope that it increases my credibility amongst a bunch of people, who outside of a select few, I've never met and never will. 9 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent player like I say, but I think it’s telling that no one has come in for him since he let go by Leicester. At 28 and as an attacking midfielder, he has maybe not got too long left at his peak. But as another poster said, if he’s free and doesn’t cost mad wages, he can’t be much worse than what we’ve got.,I’m just hoping for a lot better than we’ve got, and Tom Lawrence isn’t that IMO.

There is no point having players, especially at that age, filling up the squad unless they truly offer something to the first team.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 27 May, 2022 Share Posted 27 May, 2022 Yeah I'm all for filling out the squad in certain areas, but another not particularly great AM/Winger is the last of our worries.

This Turkish lad would just be a replacement for Willy/Lewis as third choice ‘keeper, hardly golden boots to fill. Anyway, nobody’s ever seen him to know how good he actually is. Antti Niemi, Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford have been relegated so I wouldn’t read much into that. If Fredericks is just cover, that’s hardly a tragedy with Liv being out long term. He’s no worse than Pied, Martina or Targett as FB cover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A resounding Foxtrot Oscar to signing Winks or any deal involving his club. We probably got away with one when we signed KWP although the bastards had already fleeced us by underpaying on Hojberg.
