Such a shame but he was never going to figure next season. I fear the retirement and bad fortune of Dean Ashton had a part to play in Freddie's own poor luck - he and Deano could have been our strike force for 5 years, if only based on their successful cameo in the March 2008 game against Blackburn. Freddie could have played down the middle, in the Cottee role, playing off Ashton. Sadly he was forever stuck on one of the wings thereafter by Zola, Grant and Allardyce and that was never his game at youth and reserve level. No wonder his confidence went to pot. I will remember his other goals, a crucial one at the time against Wolves on New Year's Day 2011 and a good finish against Burnley to round off a 5-1 FA Cup win in February 2011. I wish him all the best.

I shall also remember the watershed moment he gave me in my own history as a West Ham fan - walking back to my car at the then age of 25, seeing an 18-year-old come off the bench for a Roy of the Rovers moment made it finally perfectly clear to me that my own (extremely) farfetched dreams of such an experience in the claret and blue would never be realised!

Gutted for the lad , one of our own , but was never going to make it in the upper 2 divisions, i think he will be snapped up by a league 1 or 2 team.
he always gave 100% in claret and blue
and hope to see him return with another team in a cup match



good luck Freddie

good luck Freddie

Be nice if PDC took him at Swindon ......

ColchesterI would say, they wanted to loan him again-we wanted a fee. Promotion changed that no chance of making the 25 man squad so no need to keep him. Too lightweight by far and certainly for Sam style.

Or Watford now Zola set to be appointed.

Gutted about this too when I herd. As you said one of our own and a general nice lad. I remember when they all stayed up here before a game at my local golf club, I got to talk to him and Mark Noble for quick ten mins. Both seemed decent ,lads. My son was over the moon as he likes noble.
Wish him well where ever he goes.

Signed a 3 year deal with Colchester, pleased he has found a club wish him well for the future, still young could still yet make the grade.

He could make a decent living out of playing football but I doubt we’ll ever see him play in the premiership

Never say never lots of players have got there chance, look at Holt.

Never

I for one am glad he got a descent contract , lets hope he does well and makes it back to the prem some day , had high hopes for him especially as he was home grown . All the best Freddie

Good luck Freddie x

I was just wondering about him. Shame.
