Does anyone remember what the transfer deal around Freddy was? I know figures are never mentioned but i would imagine even SISU arent silly enough to pay £1m upfront for him, so i imagine the deal involved certain clauses. One of these are probably goals based, or appearance based. Without looking at the stats, i dont know if he's cpming up for any specific number of appearances (and its unlikely to be goals at this moment in time with the lack of them from him), which may result in us having to pay Wolves a sum. Could this be a reason for him not playing, and Thorn has been told he cannot play him?
If I remember correctly, Elliott Ward was singled out in similar circumstances where we may (and I stress may as it was only ever assumed and not confirmed) have had to pay West Ham some money.
Was onpy thinkinf about it as surely theres another reason why Freddy's being excluded? He cant be any worse than what McDonalds been (and thats not a dig at Cody, but it is a fact he hasnt cut it for us yet!)
I'd say 9 is close enough to write him off if we'd have to stop playing him after 8. I think Ward had 3 or 4 to go when he was totally frozen out..still, it's probably just a bollocks conspiracy theory. Given SISU's record, it's hard to rule it out entirely though!
