Glamorgan Jambo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I can't really get too angry about the signing of Frear. It was a short contract and he was a known quantity. I'd doubt he was on a huge salary and he chipped in with a few goals. It was only the last few games when one of our signings (Logan) seemed to grasp that we wanted our wide players to stay wide rather than drift all over the place a la Frear, Roberts, Kastaneer.

Bazzas right boot Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 3 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: Frear was on a one year deal, he’s hardly been punted. If he was ruthless he would’ve dropped Halliday, if he doesn’t show loyalty why did he play Berra so many times? If you’re not in his plans he will discard you but I’m yet to be convinced he’s got a ruthless streak like Jose for example. He’s much more likely to tell a player look you won’t be playing as opposed to ostracising them completely. Why ostracise anyone who is under contract and who you are paying. It's not a ruthless streak to completely bin players under contract who you may need to play for you at some point. In fact, it's poor management. Jose... 😳 The comparisons on here are ****ing brilliant at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Wonder if Roberts will get a second chance? Tempted to keep him as back-up for wide, AM and up front based on his first few games for us and his Well form. But it looks like GMS and Walker will be competing for his position ahead of him, plus we might have Ginnelly and Naismith, so might be better to cut him loose and hopefully promote a youngster to back-up.

Brighton Jambo Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Personally not sure I share the rage about Frear, he was on really low wages, comfortably less than a quarter of the top earners.

Tasavallan Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Budget dictated. Robbie had his formation already blossoming in his head.
