Bailey replacement - Lee Frecklington?

[Shrimpergonzo]

Right chaps - Bailey has gone, there's no point crying about it, we need to deal with it fast as on last night's showing Moussa and Grant is not a Central Midfield pairing to strike terror into most League 1 sides.

I am assuming that Ron may be prepared to splash a little cash on the replacement so who do we suggest?

My starter for 10 is Lee Frecklington from Lincoln:

I am not basing this on any knowledge or rumour - but he would seem to fit the bill quite nicely. Interestingly last January, when Peterborough were sniffing around, Lincoln said they would listen to offers if the financial package was right.

Any other suggestions?

How about "Frecklington replaces freckled ginger c**t"?

Bit more accurate don't you think? :p

 

[Pubey]

sounds good

 

[palexander]

Yea Frecklington would be ace.

As would Kevin Maher :)

 

[pringlejon]

Sounds good but would be worrying for the team if this is true, bit too much like Bailey?

I went to school with "Frecko" and he has always had a huge ego. Even today I've often spotted him swanning around lincoln town centre like the big time charlie he is. He'll never make it big because his ego outweigh's his talent by a large ratio. I wish him all the success in the world as he's clearly doing what he loves and living the life many of his age and stature would kill for. Don't be surprised though if in a few years he fades into obscurity as his attitude makes him believe he's better than he is.
Bitter? moi?

We definately need someone with league experience in the team so from that pov, he wouldnt be a bad signing if we could get him for a reasonable price

Oh no he wouldn't. Not any more.

Last year we saw what happens when your midfielders score goals. Maher, Moussa and Grant I doubt would get 5 between them.

If there's one thing Tilly can do it's bring in a decent midfielder. In that respect I don't think he's ever let us down.

I've championed Mr Frecklington for a long while ( along with Ben Wright ) as i have seen a fair bit of Lincoln over the past year or so and i think he'd be a class signing. Him and Mac could be a good little duo, but i'd be worried about a Moussa/Frecklington partnership as it could become a little lightweight in the centre of the park. Frecklington is full of pace and determination and gets his fair share of goals!

Agreed. Ben Wright seems to score a fair few for them aswel...how about them both signing...that would be a very good coup.

Where is Ben Smith nowerdays..very very good player but injury prone. Could do a job if fit!

Freckles is unsettled:

Worth a punt? Or is it just the case that he's not good enough for their first team.

He's epic on FM, anyhow.
