  1. First of all, hello again to you all. I''m a Southend fan who posted a few times on here in January time when the previous ''Freddy to Norwich'' rumour started. Well, the rumour that was confined to here and here only. I don''t quite understand why this has started up again, and once again it''s confined to here and here only. Secondly, I don''t know who you are ''drinks'', or who you claim to know within our club, but I think either you''re on a wind up or your ''source'' is our programme seller or something. I do have a contact within the our club though, who is actually someone who you might say is ''well up the Southend food chain'' if you want to put it in perspective. Lets just say if there was anything in this he''d know as he''d have a say in it. Your club has made no contact with us, whilst nobody has shown any firm interest in Freddy either. Not only that but Freddy himself keeps repeating that he wants to stay with us next season, whether we go up or not. Despite not being the sharpest knife in the draw, he realises that he''s been a full time pro for only 7 months now, as he was one of a few who only trained 2 nights a week at Grays, and he knows that he needs to learn his trade before jumping up Divisions. So you might need to move on to a new rumour. Good luck to you guys for next season though. I seem to remember that you seemed like a really nice bunch when I posted on here a few months back
  2. Right then. Southend fan here. First of all, our manager has denied the story this morning. About Freddy though. He was at West Ham as a youth where he was their top scorer for a couple of seasons. It think in his first season there he got something like 28 goals in 30 games. He got disillusioned at football and ended up out of the game for 8 months before joining Grays Athletic where he got 38 goals in 41 games. He had a trial at Charlton last year where he impressed in their reserves for a month, before this year he had a trial at Swindon where he played one game for their reserves and scored a hat trick in it. We snapped him up on loan before they could though as he wanted to stay local. He scored after 7.7 seconds against Swansea on his debut (the fastest debut goal in English history ever) and went on to get a hat trick against the team who at the time were top of the league. After a few more goals we signed him for a reputed £40,000 with a hefty sell on clause beating off competition from a fair number of other clubs including Scunthorpe, Colchester, Doncaster (who i know for a fact offered an incredible weekly wage to him) and supposedly 2 or 3 Championship clubs including QPR. He''s now got 9 goals in 12 starts in total for us. So now you know who he is, and I''m certain you''ll hear a lot more about him in the future. Good luck for the rest of the season.
