Thanks for the info Chemico, very much appreciated !! :) If Freddy does go, best of luck to him, he will always be a hero and has been a superb player for the club :)

 

[MK Shrimper]

Cheers Chemico, I think it's evident that Fred's off, and good luck to him, can't blame the lad for wanting to play at a higher level.

I just hope we get a good deal for him so we can get some decent replacements in.

 

[Smiffy]

Says to me he is talking to Wolves and he wants to go there, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Oh well it had to happen some time, I just wish we cashed in on him in Jan when we could of got double what he will eventually go for shortly.

But, hindsight is a wonderful thing and the chairman quite rightly so thought Freddy may have been able to keep us up last season.

Cheers for that Chemico.

Not knocking you but to type with a capital letter on each word must take you twice as long to type :)

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Thanks for the info, Chemico. I think this tells us that Freddy is off and, unless other clubs in with better offers and a bidding war takes place, it could all be done and dusted quite soon.

He's been a great servant to SUFC in his time here and naturally, we have to wish him all the best for the future. He'll be going for a club record transfer fee and has provided us with so many great memories, not least "that" goal against Man U! All the best, Freddy.

 

[Jam_Man]

He'll be going for a club record transfer fee

Think Stanley Collymore might dispute that....

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Think Stanley Collymore might dispute that....

Really? I genuinely thought that it would be a club record fee :o

I think I may be getting confused because this £1.25m figure is considerably smaller than those which have been banded around here by some eternal optimists!

 

[MrB]

Cheers for that Chemico.

Col types in capitals but the site defaults words in capitals to mixed case.

 

[Tilly hates yellow boots]

Cheers for the info Cheimo. It' always good to have someone in the know on a bisue such as Freddy

Ah I see, that makes sense now!

Collymore went for 3.6 million wasnt it ? Memory fails me...

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

Ah I see, that makes sense now!

Blimey! Shows how much I know! :thump:

 

[OlvisIII]

From what I remember he went originally for just less than 3 million and it went up to near 4 million after add ons and 10% sell on when he went to LIverpool.

 

[Beefy]

I think Stan went for £2.2m originally. We then got £250k when he played for England and took 10% of £8.5m that Forest sold him to Liverpool for (minus a couple of hundred grand that we had to give to Palace as part of the deal that saw him join us originally).

We were also supposed to get £250k if he scored 20 league goals for Forest the year after he left us but they dropped him with a couple of games left after they'd got promotion and he was on 19 goals. Vic threatened to sue but the two clubs agreed that Forest could buy that clause out for £100k which they then did.

Cheers colin

I feel like I was the only one hopping he sign a new contract with us....

Bit worrying now... where will our goals come from next season :-(

Mid table anyone........

ok going for a pint ..... bye bye Freddy

Thanks for everything

 

[Robbshrimp]

Thought Collymore was sold for around £1.5 sure it wasn't in the £2million mark....

 

[Angell Delight]

From what I remember he went originally for just less than 3 million and it went up to near 4 million after add ons and 10% sell on when he went to LIverpool.

Stan was sold for an initial £2m which rose to £4.2m after all the add-ons including the goal/promotion bonus, first England cap and sell-on percentage.

 

[Angell Delight]

I think Stan went for £2.2m originally. We then got £250k when he played for England and took 10% of £8.5m that Forest sold him to Liverpool for (minus a couple of hundred grand that we had to give to Palace as part of the deal that saw him join us originally).

Vic threatened to sue but the two clubs agreed that Forest could buy that clause out for £100k which they then did.

According to Stan in his book he went to se Frank Clark and told him he wasn't happy and wanted to play, eventually Clark backed down and picked Stan for the last 2 games - he scored the goal which triggered the £250k payment and said "I wanted Southend to have that money."
