[Mr. Benedict]

Well done Fred. Keep it up! :)

 

[SUFCEssex]

Good news, well done Freddy.

 

[fredheim_holm]

Well done Freddy, no more then we expect ;)

 

[BrettieAngell]

Well done Freddy.

Still depresses me though!

 

[C C Csiders]

Still feel we were stitched up on the deal.

I wonder if we had a clause in his contract where if he won the Player on the Month award 3 times in a year or made The Sun's Dream Team, we got another £250K?

Still feel we were stitched up on the deal.

We made a fair offer, and it was accepted. If Ron Martin could have got more, he would have.

You got him for well below what he was worth. That's stitched up. A fair number of people thought that it was a decent price but a lot of us knew just how good Eastwood was.

When he had to start on the bench he knew he had to get his backside into gear and fair play to him, he's shoqing just how quality he is - shame we had to rely upon him so much and couldn't afford to drop him to the bench in order to get the best out of him.

Well Done!! Freedy.... Shame you couldnt play likle that for us like that in the Championship

I went through this at the time. Given his contractual situation, the fact he wanted a move, and the fact there werent that many interested parties ( despite what some were claiming ) we got him for his market value at that time. Ron Martin could have rejected the offer if he'd wanted to.

Well... he did for the first part of the season. Then he got injured on and off, and yeah, lost interest towards the end seemingly...

 

[Cricko]

Well done Freddy ..he makes Nugent look like a snip at 5mill (NOT)

Yhhh that is true... to be honest with you.... the only thing he did for us i can remember is the memberable goal against the mancs which will live long in the memory...

But back to Freddy, I don't think we have replaced him:(

I'm well aware of why you got him for the price that you did. That doesn't mean that that is his true value though. He's not a £1.5m player, he's no better for you than he was when he was playing for us and his true value as a footballer is far closer to the type of bids that you'll be getting in January for him.

 

[Mr Gilbo]

just got to hope that we have a decent sell on clause percentage!

 

[Mr Gilbo]

But back to Freddy, I don't think we have replaced him:(

Eh?! The only memorable thing is the goal against man u?! how about the quickest goal for southend? or scoring hat trick in his first game?! or the goals against swansea that send us up?! he was the reason we got promoted twice.

next you'll be saying that collymore didn't nothing for us and the only memory you have of him is a ms u johnson beater!

You are right we haven't replaced him! We got lucky, just like collymore, and hopefully we will see another gem of a striker sooner rather than later!

 

[Ricey]

Well Done Freddy! I still think we sold him a little too early should of held out for more money and if we couldn't get it sell for original offer. But I have faith in Ron the low price will probably consist of loads of add on's and clauses! Hopefully a sell on cause I could see him going to a bigger team if he carries on this form.
