Luke Freeman

[Stainrod]

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.

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?

However, I would love to have him back!

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 .

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.

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.

That post kind of sums you up fella , it must hurt when the rubbish you post constantly gets picked apart .

[SheepRanger]

Best not to rise to these comments from QPR. Leave it to the Moderators and Referees on this MB. Try and ignore such comments

Why anybody would post this comment without any objectivity whatsoever. Is beyond me, I find myself laughing at its banality.

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.
