Signed on loan for forest with a view to a permanent signing . So back in this division, maybe the fee we got wasn’t to bad after all.

Don't think sheff utd gave him a run of games -
Freeman had entered the last year of his contract and his age meant that Sheff Utd could not expect to command a great price for him if ever selling. There was no competing bids. The idea that the club sold on the cheap is wrong. Freeman's performance in Premie League also backs that up - he is a good Championship player indeed, but not Premiership material. If it was a bargain price, why did no other clubs care to bid for him?Originally posted by Stainrod View Post
However, I would love to have him back!Comment

Your right Oslo but it didn’t stop certain posters slaughtering the club for selling to cheap. One year on and he is back in our league .Originally posted by QPROslo View PostComment

According to transfermarket we sold Freeman for £5m and Smithies for £3.6m
Neither player made it in the Premier League and were pretty much unused subs or squad players. So in hindsight we got fantastic money for both of them.
In 18/19 we brought in £8.5m in transfer sales and now £16m this season. Even with a realistic budget we probably need to make a £5m profit every season in player sales to break even. Looking at the squad right now we look every capable of doing that by either selling our own former academy players or selling on players we've bought from lower leagues.Comment

For whatever it might be worth:
When we bought Freeman his value on Transfermarkt was £400.000 and we paid £350.000
When we sold Freeman his value on Transfermarkt was 3.5m and we received £5.6m
I would say it was a good piece of business.Comment

You’re a c+!t Strangerod.Under Les Ferdinand:
Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
And many more mistakes

Fees are largely irrelevant if we fail to replace the outgoing players with players of at least similar ability. Smithies is a case in point... we are still crying out for a keeper despite all that moolah we've pulled in over past couple of seasons. Yeah, I know this window is still open but blimey, we need to get some very decent players in pretty darn quick or we'll be the most solvent club of the 3 relegated teams in 2021.Comment
