From your comment I thought he was a keeper.
Anyway, he?s a CB, good age, good height, but is he a good fit? -

Fair comment.
Another point on signings is that we have to work within a budget and the rules of the EFL.
Not every single player has to, or will, be in the match day squad as first choice. -

Osborne again, on 18 May 2024 - 09:29 PM, said:Must be a different bloke I saw deputise for Grimes against Watford then, and as for no pace, I think he was one of the fastest in the squad. He's work in progress but he's a ball playing centre back with a left foot, so consequently worth lots of cash if we can develop him. If, as I've been told, he isn't getting another contract at Sheffield United, he could cover both defensive positions on the left. He wouldn't be in the first eleven but a very good player to have on the bench.
We need players we can improve, while doing a job for us and then sell on at a profit.
Haven?t the Blunts published their full retained list yet?
Freckleton certainly doesn?t lack pace. He has it in abundance. Possibly because of his age he lacks physicality and from time to time struggles to find a teammate with his passing. Comparing him to Maguire isn?t the answer either because Loz has never had the same pace and, strangely, at the age of 20 lacked experience too.
So, coming back to his age. It is a big advantage as because of it Freckleton would not count as one of our 22 outfield players as he is under 21. Personally, if Grimes is going to be our captain next season that suggests he?s going to play if fit. As such, Freckleton would be a useful addition as he can also cover the LB position and is another young player we can improve.
At RB, though, I think we need a more experienced player to be the more regular starter. -

h again, on 18 May 2024 - 06:03 PM, said:I'm astonished he's kept Ash Palmer on. Decent CH at national League level, despite the odd daft mistake, but I think he'll struggle with the slightly faster pace and know-how in L2. Stockport got rid as soon as they were promoted, and I never saw him as the kind of defender we needed for a high pressing game. However, Cookie signed him, so must be happy with him, but I'd have preferred a faster, younger bloke for the wage, even assuming we'll be a little bit more defensive next season.
I think Palmer triggered a one year clause in his contract so there would be no option other than to honour that.
However, he is a useful CB at NL level and I wonder if he could be used in a player exchange deal or something. -
