Freddy’s ready to quit Wolves

freddy.jpgOut-of-favour striker Freddy Eastwood fears he may have played his last game for Wolves.

The £1.5m summer signing today insisted he will play regular football next season – even if it means quitting Molineux.

Eastwood scored twice in Wolves’ 4-0 victory over Walsall in Darren Wrack’s testimonial last night.

Asked whether the rare start in the rain-soaked Banks’s Stadium fixture could be his final Wolves appearance, Eastwood said: “Maybe. Summer is here and obviously I have played nowhere near enough games this season.

“Next season things have to change. Either I have to play a lot more games for Wolves or go to another club and play a lot of games for them. I am a professional footballer and that’s what I want to do.

“I don’t want to be sitting around for three quarters of the season not playing at any club. I want to play football.”

The 24-year-old has not started a game since Wolves boss Mick McCarthy pulled the plug on a proposed move to Championship rivals Coventry on the eve of transfer deadline day in January.

The Sky Blues are expected to renew their interest in the Wales international in the summer, when a Molineux exit seems increasingly likely.

Eastwood now admits it may have been better for all parties had his switch to the Ricoh Arena gone ahead.

“I would rather something had happened one way or the other,” he said. “The manager ended up keeping me here and leaving the club was never the issue because I have never wanted to leave Wolves. I have just wanted to play football.

“The manager kept faith with me here and said I had a big part to play and I respect him for that.

“But since then I haven’t played a game. That’s disappointing, but I will keep my head up and keep doing what I do.”

And he insisted he could still be a hit in the Championship – at Wolves or elsewhere. “I look at the top strikers in this league scoring 20-odd goals and that’s where I want to be,” he said.

“I have done it for the last three years at my other club and I wanted to come here and do it.”

    Damit McCarthy just play the man!

  2. Fred said:

    Selling him would be a massive mistake. Morgan would be a fool to let MM sell him

    laters freddy, and take your southbank buddies with ya!!

  4. Eddie Wolf said:

    Not this again! Look I know the bloke must be upset and it is one of the bigggest sagas in a while, but everyday, there seems to be something new.
    The SEB-Keogh partnership is working too well to spilt them up, and this drivel churned out all the time is not doing anyone any good. Wish he would just go, to save this constant earful, better for the team, Mick, the fans and most importantly Freddy!

  5. Mick McNugget said:

    Good luck Freddy if you do leave. We (the fans) know that you are a good player. Shame stubborn Mick cant see that too and play tou your strenghts just like he does with other players.

  6. wolvesmod said:

    I can’t believe Mick pulled the plug on Freddy joining Coventry for the rest of the season, it’s not like they are playoff rivals is it? It was a an absolutely stupid decision to keep him here and make him rot in the reserves. That sums it up for me with Mick, an awful manager who makes the wrong decisions. Letting Craddock join Stoke for starters was a joke. aswell as letting Bothroyd join Stoke, what a disgrace. Look where Stoke are now? They’re virtually up. Bothroyd is in a different league compared to Kyle and Elliot. How can you not see that?

  7. southbank barmy army said:

    good on ya fred..unfortunately it looks as though it will be at another club..unless we can get rid of mcarthy very quickly. all the best son and where ever you go we wish you good luck.

    i for one would love to see you put 3 or 4 past us and wipe that stupid smirk off muppets face haha..we owe you that for the shameful way this club has treated you.

    onwards and upwards fred..you’ll certainly be playing premier league football before any of muppets misfits.

    WE WANT MUPPET OUT SAY WE WANT MUPPET OUT!!!!!

    FREDDY..FREDDY..FREDDY..FREDDY..FREDDY..FREDDY!

    Keogh 07/08 Apps 32(10) 8 Goals
    Eastwood 07/08 Apps 10(20) 3 Goals
    Eastwood 06/07 Apps 41(1) 11 Goals

    Nowhere near 20 odd goals a season do the maths son, not much difference to Keogh plus all Keoghs assists.

    Call me stato, Whats your opinion Ad Mant, Quality Counts & South Bank Barmy Army?

  9. Jon Finlan said:

    Complete madness!!!!!Where else do you get a twenty gaol a season man from.Freddy and SEB could destroy defences in that league,surely they would score 30-40 between them.
    Send this to Mick

    GOALS = WINS
    WINS = POINTS
    POINTS = PROMOTION

    NOT ROCKET SCIENCE IS IT

  10. phil said:

    this sounds a bit like earnshaw at wba,norwich and derby,work rate and attitude

  11. wolfmadgaz said:

    his last quote said it all i ahve done it all the other clubs for the last 3 years!!

    he comes to wolves cores for goals in his first month wins player of the month and MM goes and drops him!! can someone please explain that to me??

    his mean scoring for wales all year!!

    FREDDY FREDDY FREDDY!!

  12. Overrated Freddy said:

    That means Eastwood only needs about 80 games to get 20 goals next season that’s a lot of testimonial matches.

  13. S.E said:

    Bye bye. In the next club you hopefully get your mind right and start doing what it takes to be a proffessional football player at this level. Sad you didnt know how to score in the numerous of games you played and sad you will always be remembered as our worst signing ever. It could have been so different if you had not let your early success get to your head. When you come to your next club remember: No player is bigger than the club.

  14. Sandwell massive?? said:

    Dow get it, Eastwood for Keogh anytime.

    Goals pay the rent.

  15. Overrated Freddy said:

    13# well said sounds about right to me.

    Also would like to add that the goals for Southend the year before when he scored 23 goals was in League One so lets not get to carried away, he just couldn’t cut in the the Championship.

  16. Glorybox said:

    8…..not very good!! in starts it’s 30% FE , 25% AK; the bloke hasn’t been given a fair crack and if we fail on Sunday MM should walk, end of

  17. wolves said:

    what can you say something has happened you dont have a striker with his ability and not play him, wish they would tell us. or do we have to wait for him to go to find out the truth.

  18. Willy Bright said:

    So it’s a straight choice then, either Freddie goes or Mad Mick goes?
    Freddie’s career is going nowhere sitting on the bench and playing the odd 5 minutes here and there. He would be much better off at another club where the manager is not so pig-headed and gives his players a fair chance to prove their worth whereas Mad Mick it seems could be here for another season as there have been no definite noises from the club that he could be going - unfortunately!
    Freddie, if you do go and it seems highly likely, the best of luck mate and should you ever come up against Mad Mick again, show him exactly what a prat he’s been and score a hat full and if that’s against Wolves, then so be it!

  19. baggy 1 said:

    Yes get rid, and replace him with S Ward and,
    some Bilston Town Reserves,
    You Idiots do not deserve prem football, however great result at Walsall, good shift

  20. Weston Wolf said:

    13 S.E.
    Obviously not a fan with a long memory then ??
    “You will always be remembered as our worst signing ever ”

    Where do we start with our worst signings ever then ??

    Worse than Frankowski, Kyle, Majority of our Premiership signings, Majority of our 84-86 signings with 3 notable exceptions ??

    Our best signing next season may be a PR Executive to sort out the PR disasters that happen every day !!

    So your a tesco then?

  23. Brightonwolf said:

    A DISGGRACE…MUPPET WOULD RATHER PLAY THE LIKES OF WARD, ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HIS INABILITY TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS & PROPERLY MANAGE. IN THE INTEREST OF THE CLUB MUPPET HAS TO GO, ALL YOU MUPPET LOVERS, THIS IS TRUE LOYALTY, WE WILL GET NOWHERE WITH THIS GUY!! WAKE UP……….HOPEFULLY WE WILL NEVER HAVE TO SING THE TRULY DIRE SUPER MICK SONG, WORSE THAN SAMMY CHUNG & HIS GOLDEN WANDERERS.

  24. southbank barmy army said:

    8# OVERRATED FREDDY.. 4 goals in 5 starts then dropped of the face of the earth. ocaissionaly returns for a bit part. some of the appearances you mention have been for 10 minutes or less. how many games has keogh played 90 minutes and failed to score LOADS..it’s an argument that can’t be won by either side because muppet never gave him a consistent run (full 90 minutes) to prove if he could do it or not.

    seb is an absolute diamond and the best striker wolves have had since bully..but a partnership with freddy would produce more goals per game than a seb / keogh ever will. keogh is faultless for effort and commitment don’t get me wrong..BUT HE DOESN’T SCORE ENOUGH FOR AN OUT AND OUT STRIKER.

    how many fans have said seb and fred up front..keogh given a free role behind them..and kites and jarvo supplying from the flanks..WE WOULD BE VIRTUALLY UNSTOPABLE WITH THAT LINE UP PLAYING REGULARY TOGETHER.

    i ask this.. muppets first season..our goals for was +3 this season with one game to go it’s +4.. we haven’t ever got near to double figures in muppets reign..until seb came we could hardly buy a goal..and certainly couldn’t put penalties away. how the hell are we ever going to get promoted if muppet continues with his favorites first philosopy when we clearly have better quality left on the bench and lesser players who have proved THAT THEY ARE USELESS can still get a shirt.

    sorry boys but muppet has to go..not because of the freddy issue..but because he is not good enough for our club full stop. we need a guy with ambition, and vision like tony mowbray, not a stubborn short sighted hoof ball has been like mcarthy.

    WE NEED A PAUL INCE TYPE BOSS WHO KNOWS HOW TO MOTIVATE AND GET THE BEST FROM THE WHOLE SQUAD NOT JUST HIS COLLECTION OF OLD PALS.

  25. SouthBank Genius said:

    Anyone who can outscore Don Goodman in a testimonial deserves a place in our first XI. Seeing as Eastwood is a 20 goal striker, why dont we drop SEB instead of Keogh, who provides the ammunition?

  26. Solentwolf said:

    6 - I agree with you about Craddock. He should never have been sent out on loan. Regarding Bothroyd, however, I don’t think he has been pulling up trees at Stoke. He didn’t even make the bench for their last game. He could have had an injury of course but somehow I don’t think he has fared much differently at Stoke from what he did at Wolves. Perhaps StokeWolves knows more.

  27. Dull Amigo said:

    Worst signing would be Robert Taylor….remember him???

  28. John De Wolf said:

    Nice one Mick, that’s 1.5 million well spent. Freddy deserves a chance, then we can all decide if he’s good or overated, but he’s never involved. The guy is loads better then S Elliott, K Kyle and S Ward. Mick’s cleary got a personal problem with him, there’s no other explanation as to why he’d be so stubborn. Maybe he doesn’t put a shift in, so what if he scored every game? Get a grip Mick.

  29. Overrated Freddy said:

    “show him exactly what a prat he’s been and score a hat full and if that’s against Wolves, then so be it!”

    18# Willy Billy this comment you made just shows what type of fan you are, please go and support another club or a least go to the Hawthorns with your Wolves strip on…

  30. stuwolf said:

    Wish I had seen more of you Freddie but a certain person thought differently.

    I still hope to see you scoring for us and not against us!

    Good luck anyway.

    WOLVES TILL I DIE !!

  31. Dull Amigo said:

    Let him go and use the money to by a decent centre half, not 6 full backs or 3 more less than average strikers

  32. JUJUJUJUJUJUJU said:

    I Just cant believe it! What a waste! Scored two good goals at Walsall last night and just porved he can easily get them in the back of the net! He should be playing up front with SEB with Keogh just behind them for his assists!
    Hope we get a new manager before Eastwood leaves so he stays!
    JUJUJUJUJUJUJUJU

  33. wolvowulf said:

    The Freddy Eastwood saga is partly down to his contribution which yes, has been somewhat limited. But Mick sees the guy day in day out including training and im convinced that there is more to it than we think.

    I think their has been a behind closed doors problem with him hence why hes been limited to apperances. The whole business with Coventry and the fact he hasnt even made the bench illustrates this even more.

    It is crazy to think however, that all that money was wasted on a player that hardly ever figured. If Mick doesnt like his attitude then he wouldnt play irrelevant of the cost.

    I must add that the times Freddy has played hes missed some glorious chances. SEB hasnt been outstanding in every match he has played but 9/10 times he will stick the ball away.

    I think Mcarthy will remain at Wolves beyond this season whatever our outcome and it will be his last year if we dont get up. 3 years is more than adequate to build a team and improve where we were under hoddle. We have some bright young players and with the right balance i think wolves can be a very good side. What he cant afford to do next season is buy the amount of rubbish he has this year!

    23# Brightonwolf I couldn’t be bothered to read past the misspelt word DISGGRACE let alone the CAPS LOCK, I can see you just got back from the Jeremy Kyle t.v studio.

    Stay in Brighton please

  35. Redge999 said:

    4 and 8 What a load of Rubbish, Andy Keogh isnt good enough to clean my boots. Hard working yes good enough to earn us promotion no! We have one threat upfront and that seb, his international record speaks for itself! Problem is we will never know how prolific he could be. Goalscorers dont particularly work hard, i want him tom work the final third, work the box.

    Did Lineker, Rush, cottee, work hard. Strikers work the box and channels, midfielders work hard!

    Who cares? This story is relevent to football.

  37. Swedewolf Bró said:

    He’s probably not worth much on the market but if Wolves will get half a million I think the club should sell. Maybe some league one club would be interested?!

    No player is bigger than the club,but no manager is either.It’s the managers job to get the best out of what he’s got and develope team spirit,togetherness and harmony.Has Mick acheived this?

    2. HOW MANY CLUBS INTRESTED IN KEOGH? NONE

    I think thats all what needs to be said

  41. Fox Wolf said:

    Before anyone sanctions Freddies departure, I would like Muppet to answer these questions:

    Why was he dropped after being named Championship player of the month?
    Why has he not been given a run of games with SEB?
    Why was he excluded from the squad v Ipswich?
    Why was he forced to watch Elliott and Ward play v Cardiff when we needed more goals to reverse our shocking goal difference?
    Would you say Freddies contributions from the bench lacked quality and he wasn’t subscribing to ‘putting a shift in’?

    I’m sorry but I can’t help feeling we have a real gem in our squad and it would be criminal to sell him.

    OVERRATED FREDDY??? I suggest you watch a video of his performance against Man U when he destroyed them in the cup last year. Also, check out his performances for Wales playing for a manager who appreciates exactly what he brings to the table!
    In his cameos for Wolves he looks a class above.

  42. wolveswolves said:

    Good Luck Freddie, I’m sure you’ll show Thick Mick what a clanger he made

  43. brummie rob wolves said:

    8) The jury is out on this one as far as I am concerned. He should have been given a run in the team, especially having paid £1.5 million. Bothroyd,Kyle, Elliot, Ward have all had their chance. Eastwood is not a bad player - look how highly Toshack rates him and he should be a good judge of a striker.
    The thing is MM has made mistakes with Little, Jones, Craddock, Gleeson and Eastwood - leaving them out.
    He better not come back to haunt us,as many others have done!

  44. justin said:

    MCARTHY MUST GO !.

    THIS SITUATION SHOULD OF BEEN DEALT WITH WAY BEFORE NOW !,POOR MANAGMENT BY MUPPET MICK BUT HEY THATS WHAT WERE USED TO WITH HIM !.MORGAN GET INCE OR BIG SAM IN ASAP !,IF WE KEEP MM WILL JUST KEEP GOING BACKWARDS AS HE HAS ALWAYS HAD HIS FAVOURITES AND HE’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE NOW.HIS MAIN PRIORITY SHOULD BE WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS BUT WITH MM IT IS DEFINATLY NOT !,ALL MICK IS BOTHERED ABOUT IS HIMSELF,STE WARD,STE ELLIOTT AND POWDER PUFF ANDY KEOGH !

    MCARTHY OUT MCARTHY OUT MCARTHY OUT MCARTHY OUT

  45. Alexwolves said:

    Bye Freddy, thanks for your amazing 2 goals V Walsall 1995 eleven. Good riddens…nothing personal its just because of you some of our less intelligent supporters have an excuse to moan instead of looking at the bigger picture.

    REDGE999.. you know the game matey..respect to you.

  47. Dingle Dan said:

    stay freddie the new manager will play you every game!

  48. maidenheadwolf said:

    Maybe Freddy doesnt deserve to be in the starting line up,but he deserves a place on the bench more than Ward and Elliott the opposition must shake in their boots when those 2 come on.The player i feel most sorry for is Rosa.I believe you do well in the reserves you deserve a cahnce in the 1st team.

  49. Berlin Wolf said:

    Completely Gagga, thats you Freddy fans. He scored 11 in the Championship season with Southend including 3 penalties. 23 in league 1 doesn’t count and neither does a one off shot against Manure in the Cup, an international friendly v Luxembourg and a testimonial against old men from Walsall. DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
    Bring back Robert Rosario, Blobby Taylor, Frankowski and Camarat!

  50. john said:

    I think MM has made his decision that Freddy doesnt probably graft as much as the others when he doesnt have the ball. Had he played more games I think particularly at the start of the season I think we would be in the plays off now as he was in such good goalscoring form. Sorry disagree SEB and Keogh are not a good partnership.SEB is on fire and cant help but score. In the matches I’ve seen his all round game has been average but his striking instincts has been exemplary.

    This pair would not cut it in the prem,which is where we want to be but i can see Gera, phiilps and co doing alright because they have more quality.

  51. paul said:

    We have our best natural goal scorer in years at the club and were still banging on about FE. I think at times during the season it could have been possible to play Jarvis left, Freddy and SEB in the middle & move Keogh to the right, with Kites been out injured. I think if we had done this & also not sold McIndoe, instead of putting square pegs in round holes we could be much closer to promotion than we are now. MM has clearly made some stuborn, bad decisions this season that may cost us & the inquest should start Monday morning, if we don’t make the play offs. I would be in favour of giving him another season to see if he can complete the job because the club is in a healthier position since he first took the job and on a whole we are steadily progressing. I just wished he’d been the manager he was last season as it seems at times at the moment he can’t see past the end of his own nose. Fingers crossed for Sunday because the feeling at the club could completely change in the space of 90 tense minutes and with Kites getting back to fitness who knows!!!!!!

  52. Glasgowwolf said:

    Too many of you just don’t know what your talking about.

    Eastwood got Player of the month
    So did Ward in his first month as a professional
    Eastwood scored 4 in 5
    Keogh set all 4 up.

    Eastwood does not work for the team, Eastwood is not a team player.

    Eastwood plays by dropping deep, we have SEB who plays by dropping off and holding the ball up. SEB also gets in the box and scores more goals.
    Keogh plays on the last defender streches the game.
    Looking at Eastwood’s contribution without the penalties, he scores roughly the same as Keogh.

    Now who does more for the team, keogh or Eastwood.

    Will Eastwood create 20 + goals a season ?
    Keogh will.

  53. Southbank S5 said:

    41 - WELL SAID!!

    Freddy has the potential to be a wolves legend along side SEB…..its just that MM has all but thwarted any chance Freddy has had.

    Why can’t MM try the combination that 80% of wolves fans are crying out for???

  54. S.E said:

    41 Fox/ I am not the muppet but here is the answer to your questions:
    Why was he dropped after being named Championship player of the month?
    Lack of form after too many games incl. internationals in a short time, and because of his success got to his head and he didnt want to play for the team.
    Why has he not been given a run of games with SEB?
    He has. He played in a run of games both i September and November but failed to impress.

    Why was he excluded from the squad v Ipswich?
    Because we have better players in the squad (well. S.Ward.. not, but others)
    Why was he forced to watch Elliott and Ward play v Cardiff when we needed more goals to reverse our shocking goal difference?
    Because Elliotts is better than Eastwood and Collins was substituted with Foley.
    Would you say Freddies contributions from the bench lacked quality and he wasn’t subscribing to ‘putting a shift in’?
    He has come on as a sub in more than 20 games and only impressed 3 or 4 times. Thats not good enough.

    three thousand McCarthys collectively aren’t worth one of Freddy Eastwood’s bbots

    We are in danger of allowing the most naturally gifted finisher since Steve Bull leave our club because of Thick Mick’s limited abilities as a manager. For God’s sake Morgan, get rid of this liability of a manager right now. If Freddy goes and McCarthy stays, there will be massive implications for this club. I certainly won’t be at Molioneux next season…

    On the plus side it looks as if we’ll get our money back, carn’t say that of that polish mascot we signed.

  63. Molly Knew Mick said:

    I don’t know whether Eastwood is good, bad or indifferent. As some have said, the jury’s out.

    The main complaint I have is what it tells you about MM’s management skills. He bought him as the key signing he was hoping for and then for reasons never explained, he dropped him! Fine. Not every buy turns out the way you hope.

    Then he decides to send him out on loan…good move. He gets a chance to see if he can score goals given a decent run and even if he still doesn’t want him for Wolves, it adds to his transfer value.

    Last minute…he panics! He scores for Wales and now the publicity will be bad if he scores a hatful for Coventry so we’ll pull the plug on the loan. Brilliant! The player gets even more dispirited and MM cops more flack for neither sending him out on loan nor playing him!

    Of course Wolves are bigger than Eastwood and if he’s such a great striker, he’ll flourish when given a chance elsewhere.

    The concern for Wolves is that it highlights the manager’s failings! Sure, give him another year but only if he can give a reasoned explanation as to why Year 2 has been so disappointing in comparison with Year 1. I, for one, would like to hear that!

    Oh and another reason people might warm to Freddie is that his words are a lot more honest and carry a lot more integrity than his manager’s!

  64. Slinger said:

    If Freddy was given as much opportunity as some of the others then he would have proved himself. Yes SEB & keogh are forming a good partnership but how about SEB & Freddy with Keogh playing in behind them?

  68. wolf66 said:

    Don’t have a real answer to the Freddie issue, however I’ve seen enough to know that he’s a natural footballer and certainly has lots of potential, don’t know whats gone on behind the scenes, but I would hazard a guess that MM wanted him out and was overuled, perhaps by SM, thus the fact that he has ditched him since with no real reason for not having him on the bench.

  69. wolvesmad said:

    3 shatpank. Southbank buddies, what are you on about, we sing week in week out, u probably sit in the billy quiet drinking a nice cup of tea, seb and keogh up front how can u split them up they are the best partnership in the league at this moment in time, yes freddy is a good player but keogh and seb are better together, so stop moanin about the soutbank and get on withr reading ur program ticking off the goalscorers on the back you sad loser.

    express and star slant on the story “eastwood ready to quit wolves”
    bbc sport slant on the story “eastwood wants fresh wolves start”
    depends which way you want to read his comments

    im not Mick Mccarthys biggest fan but some people do jump on the band wagon and im sorry but i think the e&s is drumming up its own hate campaign or pro freddie campaign depends which way you look at it again

    i dont think Mick has done a brilliant job this season but last season he rose everyones expectations when he turned up with 12 first teamers and took the team to the playoffs i was expecting a relegation scrap

    i dont think this season a poor season by manys standards can soley be because we didnt play freddie
    he does change the game when he has come on but would anyone really drop seb at this moment in time?
    hes been the goalscorer everyone has craved since bully retired and ok keogh doesnt score enough but he usually works harder than any of our other forwards usually without the final product in the final 3rd and has scored how many goals this season? about 10 not bad for a 2nd striker,

    Keogh sets up alot of a goals, i dont think he is good enough for the prem at the moment but most of our team isnt we would need virtually a brand new squad to stay in the prem if the current crop are cood enough to get us promotion

  71. Redge999 said:

    Glasgow wolf shut up with rubbish, do you watch the games? Keogh has proved not good enough for wolves where as eastwood hasnt been given the chance, has keogh played in a struggling side like southend? How many goals would Eastwood score with the amount of appearances keogh has made? Keogh is overated hardworking garbage, i could get fit and run around and so could you! Truth is Keogh is not good enough and we will never know about freddie.!!!!!!!

    Go freddi..all the best mate in your career you won’t get a fair hearing at wolves. A better club would have invested in integrating you properly and a better manager would have had you scoring 20 goals aseason, MM is too inflexible and anyone who doesn’t fit his pattern of play is surplus to requirements…whether your name’s Eastwood or Pele or Ronaldo…Rooney…Rosa, meks not a jot…

    Thank you for answering my questions but I must take exception:

    I’m not going back to trawl through the stats but;

    ‘Lack of form’? He had just scored on his debut for club and country and received rave reviews!

    ‘Didn’t want to play for the team’? On what do you base this garbage on?

    ‘Better players in the squad’. Well if you think the likes of Elliott and Kyle are more useful than Freddie we can expect to receive about 2m each for these clowns.

    As for him only impressing 3 or 4 times from the bench, ask yourself this. Would Wayne Rooney be able to make an impact if were to be given 20 cameo performances every time?

    I think you will disagree with me but unfortunately so does Muppet.

    ‘A run of games’? He has never started up front with SEB from memory.

  74. shatpankwolves said:

    69. WHAT?? i agree with keogh and SEB i dont rate Freddy, overated and should leave the club!
    and said take your southbank buddies with ya because they are the ones when keogh misses a shot “FREDDY,FREDDY”.
    they are the ones with the freddy obsession!!
    and where i seat or what i drink whats it to you???
    just shows you sit in southbank anyway, how the hell can you turn “laters freddy and take your southbank buddies with ya” into a a dont rate keogh and SEB????

    shatpankwolves Comment 3. YOU AND YOU LIKE MINDED FOOLS ARE THE MAIN REASON WHY WE STRUGGLE AT WOLVES. YOU NEVER GO TO A GAME BUT YOU HID BEHIND YOUR PC AND WRITE POINTLESS COMMENTS. I wish Freddy all the best, the guy has been bullied out this club by the “jobs for the boys” type manager who has not got a clue! MM NEEDS TO BE SACKED IRRELEVANT ON WHAT HAPPENS ON SUNDAY! PAUL INCE IS THE GUY WHO CAN REALLY GALVANIZE THIS CLUB FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, I HOPE THAT MORGAN HAS GIVEN THIS SEASON A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT HE IS DEALING WITH AND HOPEFULLY HE WILL BRING HIS OWN MAN IN AND THAT MAN IS PAUL INCE. INCEY IS A LEGEND, RESPECT AT MAN U, LIVERPOOL, BORO, INTER MILAN, SAVED MACCESFIELD FROM CERTAIN RELEGATION, GOT THE MK DONS A TITLE, PROMOTION, A CUP WIN, HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE DOES MOXEY NEED. OR IS MOXEY TO SCARED OF A LOUD AMBITIOUS MANAGER SIMILAR TO SOMEONE LIKE CLOUGHY WHO WOULD UPSET THE BOARDROOM TO THE BENEFIT OF WOLVES. THIS CLUB HAS NOT PROGRESSED UNDER MM. THE FOOTBALL THIS SEASON HAS BEEN RUBBISH, BORING TO WATCH, DEFENCE SLOW, USELESS, MIDFIELD DEVIOD OF REAL PENETRATION AND FLAIR, OURT ONLY SAVING GRACE IS SEB.

    MM OUT.

    FREDDIE GOOD LUCK SON, SOMEONE WHO HAS SAID FROM TIME TO TIME THIS SEASON HE WANTS TO SUCCEED AT WOLVES IS NOT GIVEN THE CHANCE. MM THINKS S.WARD IS A BETTER PLAYER. AN ABSOLUTE INSULT.

    52. Glasgow wolf - Excellent analysis

  78. I said:

    Eastwood signed a four-year deal with Wolves in July 2007 after completing a £1.5m move from Southend and was given the number 23 shirt. Eastwood started the 2007-08 season impressively, scoring his first goal for Wolves on his full debut in the League Cup first round win over Bradford City, and scoring one and setting up another on his league debut in a 3-1 away win over Sheffield Wednesday. He scored twice against Blackpool in his second league game, prompting manager Mick McCarthy to say, “…the difference [between the two sides] was Freddy Eastwood - his goals speak for themselves and it is goals which win games.” This prolific start earned him the Championship player of the month award for August

    Well Done Mick - glad you let the goals dry up from September to February by not playing Eastwood. Time to go Mick

    76. erm yes i do i went saturday and ill be there sunday and i have a mac not a pc. pc’s are prone to viruses etc and just like molineux you and a few others are the virus!!
    yea i wish freddy all the best, yea i think he was mistreated etc but you really think singing “freddy,freddy” etc when i.e keogh misses a chance helps anyone???
    if he’s unhappy then i was saying “go then im not bothered i want players willing to die for the cause, and also was saying take the boo boys with ya, and dont care what you say the ones who stick up for freddy are the southbank, not saying its the whole southbank but they are the main culprits.
    if you sit in the southbank and dont do that then im not talking to you then am i???
    oh and the caps lock is at the left hand side of the keyboard!!
    and i agree with MM out, and INCE in, but wont be doing that the match till the final whistle, if we make the play-offs then ill keep my opinion to myself until our season is over.
    if we go up still want MM out tactically stupid and has his favourites!! ok if they are good but lol they arent Gibson,Olofinjana, s.ward, collins.
    but i dont boo at the game, what does that do?
    its like you going to work and someone standing over you shouting if you do something wrong “booooooo! you useless £$%”@, get someone else to do the job” it doesnt exactly breed confidence.
    and if you are one of the boo boys then my friend as you say “YOU ARE THE MAIN REASON WHY WOLVES STRUGGLE”

    All you capslock Freddy lovers make my blood boil. Why do you care so much? He would of done nothing in the first team and at the moment we are in with a chance of the playoffs.

  82. foxywolf said:

    Freds proven he can do it elsewhere- but so did a lot of imports to the wolves who failed in front of the faithful. Theres a bigger issue - motivation- and that starts with how the lads get onto the pitch- they need to enter the arena like gladiators goin for the kill - thats not possible when they swish onto the pitch to the terribley iffeminate ‘hiho silver’ what gash!! we need an anthem for our lads and our wolves army that stirs the brave , moves the players to reach beyond there ability, and scares the pants off the visiting no-hopers. FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK WE SALUTE YOU !! ACDC-BRING IT ON!!!

    Here is a team that McCarthy won’t play sometimes/all the time :-

    Ikeme, Little, Jones, Lee Collins, Ward, Gobern, Rosa, Davies, Gleeson, Eastwood, Bennett

    I would say it is better than some of the sides we have put out this season!

  84. Tonywolf said:

    Eastwood is going to Coventry in the summer. That’s why he didn’t play v them last week. Had he played and Wolves won he would have faced playing in League 1.
    Watch these pages, too, for signings. MM is looking at Leacock from Derby so that we have another defender from the weakest prem defence ever!!!!!!!!!!!

  85. Realist said:

    Lets look at things as they are; he scored two against a ‘3rd div’ team from 10 years ago. When he has played his effort has been poor, to compare him to Bully is a disgrace. Bully would have run through stinging nettles naked to score, Eastwood would want a mower and someone to carry him. He’s lazy and his sulk against Charlton when Henry ran 50 yards to score the winner shows the sort of team player he is. He’s not our worst signing ever, but the sooner he’s gone the better.

  86. Simon in Oklahoma! said:

    Mick’s handling of the Freddy saga has been atrocious. Mick has showed us being a control freak is more important than match day performances and results, and that is just a little worrying. McCarthy has either failed to recognize Freddy’s ability, or has plain refused to use it. Mick should have used Freddy’s ability in the interests of the club, and whether of not they are on speaking terms shouldn’t even come in to the equation. Mick’s ‘punishment’ for Freddy has not only hurt himself, but the fans, the club & our promotion prospects. If you absolutely couldn’t get along…then loan him out…like Bothroyd, or sell him.

    I’m sure if Freddy had never even existed at the Molineux, our notorious ‘boo boys’ would have been more tolerant & more supportive. Results would have been better if moral was better..How do I know?…well the endless articles by players & Moxey told us so! The Freddy saga has led to a widening rift between Mick & fans, but Mick has absolutely no intention of repairing it. His mission is to succeed HIS way, & then say I told you so in everyone’s faces, and that he’d done in spite of us, rather than with us. If we do go up do you think he’ll be happy for us ‘nuggets’ & ‘chest thumpers’? I’ve been an online critic of his…so yes, I am one of Mick’s ‘nuggets’. For some time the Freddy saga has not been about Freddy ability…it’s been about Mick’s ability.

    The latest fall guy in the fans v McCarthy v Freddy feud was Neil Collins. Bringing Collins on instead of Freddy appeared to be a pointless snub of Freddy & Freddy fans. What good did that do…did Collins appreciate being booed ‘ON’ to the pitch for his 3 minute outing, did Freddy appreciate the snub? Did casual onlookers think this was brilliant management?

    Alarmingly we knew Mick would treat any dissenting players like this…when sending Roy Keane home, one of the greatest players of all time, it was clear even Keane was never a match for Mick’s pride. Alex Ferguson found a way to handle him ok, and Keane captained Man U to the treble. The best McCarthy could do with him was send him home! Draw your own conclusions.

    Even with just one game left there’s still time for Freddy to get us in the play-offs.
    Play him Mick…let him put 3 past Plymouth & then sell him to Coventry if you have to. What harm could it do? But you won’t, cause of your stubborn pride. A bigger man would say ‘let’s put everything behind us…it’s your last game, so make it a good one’. Surely Freddy would play his heart out to prove a point & put himself in the shop window. If he scored a couple, the crowd would go wild, echoing chants of Freddy, …Freddy…but imagine Mick’s face if he did. So I guess that’s why we’ll start with Kyle on the bench & not Freddy.
    Remember Mick, pride comes before a fall.

    He’s nothing special, lets look at it this way. He is not going to take ebanks-blake’s place so its him or keogh.

    So, Keogh is good in the air, Eastwood is not. Eastwood can shoot, Keogh cannot. Keogh and ebanks-blake are a proven pair now. Eastwood and Ebanks are not and you feel that Eastwood would not want to be in Ebank’s shaddow.

    So Keogh over Eastwood any day, but he is a good 60th or 70th min sub wen legs are tired.

  91. Steve bull stand said:

    This season has been a write off for Freddy and having paid £1.5m it is bizarre that McCarthy has chosen to give him only 10 starts. We are Wolves not Chelsea and it is crazy to pay that kind of money and not play him. Come Sunday evening it might be the case that Wolves will miss out on the play offs by one or two goals. If Freddy had been played instead of the likes of Elliott, Ward and Kyle during the winter months then there is no doubt in my mind that Wolves would be secure in the top 6 by now and maybe even in the top two.

  108. Super Freddy said:

    Mick McCarthy is a joke of a manager, unless you played for sunderland or are Irish you don’t get a game. The sooner he’s gone the better, Freddy could have been one of the leading strikers in this league if only he had been given a chance. He was brought here under lies and was kept from going to coventry with even more lies. McCarthy you are a joke your the one who should be going not Eastwood!!!

  109. john said:

    Glasgow wolf - your last question should have been as a striker which division will keogh SCORE 20 goals a season ? because Eastwood will in this divsion and more I think he can a job in the prem too which is where we want to be as a club..Its far easier to find a creator of chances than someone who can actually put them away regularly- any manager will tell you that. I agree with your point on his workrate though, but this is an aspect of his game that a good coach would help him improve on.
    As for you other comments, Eastwood played in a free role for southend dropping back into midfield, MM was fully aware of this when he signed him to fit in his rigid 442 system. In the modern game many of the best strikers come deep to create space for attacking midfielders and to link play, like henry, messi,kuyt,tevez, rooney,owen, kanu the list is endless.
    Which club did Ward get player of the month? Anyway has he since got picked to represent his country which Eastwood has done playing a free role and scoring against good oposition.Have you seen his performances or any of his goals for Wales?
    How can you compare Eastwoods contribution with Keogh when Freddys kept the bench warm for 20+ games. I’ve seen Keogh in a recent under 21 fixture for Ireland and his finishing on that night was very poor for a striker.
    The question to all wolves fans and MM is that are we building a team that can play in the prem or not. If so the likes of ward,elliot and Keogh will not cut it in my opinon, though Keogh has the potential to do so.SEB link up play will need to improve. I think Freddy can and wouldnt be surprised if a prem club comes in for him in the summer never mind coventry.

  112. wolfhound said:

    Anyone who thinks Ward Elliot Collins are worthy of a Wolves shirt are completely bonkers.Freddy and SEB would be the best partnership in this division.Ive watched Keogh over the last few home games and he gives the ball away too easily.

  113. John said:

    Most fans think something has gone wrong between player & manager,if this is the case Eastwood has been given chances as sub to do something when he has come on and nothing has happened, compared to other players used in this way by other clubs, so his chance to prove hasn’t been taken.
    Because of the calls constantly made by muppet fans on this site it has made it harder for the manager to include him in the side. Think of the e mails if he started on Sunday and by a fluke scored.

    The manager is the boss, football or business and judged on results. So you will all have to wait and see how the result is intererperted by the owner of the club.
    Support the club on Sunday, that’s the bottom line.

    “Alarmingly we knew Mick would treat any dissenting players like this…when sending Roy Keane home, one of the greatest players of all time, it was clear even Keane was never a match for Mick’s pride”

    When all Keane was doing was simply stating that Irelands World Cup preparations was disastrous, something McCarthy had promised Keane in a personal talk would change.
    He then stabbed Keane in the back instead of admitting what was certainly HIS mistake and ended up taking credit for a World Cup quarterfinal that was certainly down to the players, NOT him.

  120. Freddy fan for life said:

    Freddy eastwood is a goal scoring machine like steve bulll but mick mcarthy prefers elliot… now that is absolutly pathetic when is elliot suppost to score. hopfully moxey will go with the fans sack mic macarthy get a new manager in time to keep freddy eastwood because he is the fan favourite and he could score loads if he starts like what happened with wolves vs walsall great game but mic has got no brain yo play the fan favourite and also with wolves we cant take our chances properly against low teams can we… but if you go freddy hope you do well score loads for your team and make mick mcarthy look absolutly stupid

  121. Mick said:

    106. Disagree with you !! I too think Keogh could play just behind SEB and Freddy. His work rate is excellent and he would be able to support attack comfortably too. If we did go down that route we would need a “scrapper” in midfield (Ince Type) so Im not sure who would fill that void !!

  122. Wolverines said:

    Freddy said “I look at the top strikers in this league scoring 20-odd goals and that’s where I want to be,” he said.

    “I have done it for the last three years at my other club and I wanted to come here and do it.”

    Did he forget he only scored 11 last season in the championship? Bit different to league 1.

  123. Wolverines said:

    Oh and to all these fans that say play AK behind FE and SEB. How are our wingers meant be effective when they’re always playing narrow to support the one man midfield?
    That formation is totally unfeasable.

  124. Wolverines said:

    121 That formation only works if you don’t play with wingers.

  125. DudzieWolf said:

    This is condradictory to what he says on BBC, apparently he wants to stay. We should be shipping off the likes of S & D Ward, Elliott, Kyle, Collins and Potter.

    123. You drop the winger system, simple. You can always revert back to them by keeping Jarvis on the bench. Kightly can be effective playing narrow as well as wide

  126. Ad Mant said:

    when he has been given a chance? What chance? 3 minutes at the end of the game ?

    I AM AD MANT THAT THICK MICK MUST GO.

  127. Ad Mant said:

    Spot on Dudzie…

    Lest we also forget that losing Freddy not only means, we lose Freddy, but that he will be going to our competition next year to play AGAINST US.

    This man can play. we need him. Who do we have as back up should SEB get injured? Elliot? Kyle? LMFAO

    There will be huge backlash should we find ourselves sans Freddy, but still with “No Plan, No Hope Mick” in charge

    Wolves deserves so much better than the muppet.

  128. Wolverines said:

    125 Then surely Kites would be better as the attacking midfielder? Play a 3 man midfield across the centre? Dare I say in the mould of AC Milan?

  129. James Drabble said:

    As A Southend fan through and through I personally feel that Freddy would be one of the best signings you would have made all season. The guy has scored 60+ goals in three seasons for us. 19 of those goals coming in the Championship last season.

    The guy needs to start on Sunday or there is no point you keeping him. Hes too much of a waste if left in the reserves.

  130. mr smug said:

    bye bye freddie. not good enough, son. you had your chance at a big club and you failed. off you pop

  131. Steve bull stand said:

    What is clear to us all is that there is no point the club keeping both Eastwood and McCarthy next season, one of them must go.
    We also know for certain that MM has decided that Eastwood will play no part in the rest of Wolves season now so the decision for the club is clear.
    If Wolves are a premier league club by the end of May then MM will stay. If we aren’t then that is the time when there is a decision to be made.
    I know what I would do but for now lets focus on beating Plymouth and hoping Burnley or Blackpool do the business.

  132. Colley Gate Wolf said:

    86~Simon. Totally agree with everything you’ve said and 104~Baggie Boy I’ve been told exactly the same thing about the transfer.
    Most of us have read Roy Keanes book and will have heard other players/ex players less than complimentary opinions of Muppet so we know that players who aren’t scared to voice an opinion within the changing room don’t stand a chance. We know that in a muppet team you are a yes man or you’re out so we need to accept it till the board wise up.
    The E&S have latched on to the fact that a lot of us want McMuppet out and are now going to fan the flames as much as possible because they know it will sell more papers. There’s no point getting wound up so much, it’s just a waiting game now!

    honest to god i would have

    phillips, miller, bednar, moore and even gera as striker over keogh! And i blinking hate them lot

  134. Breretonwolf said:

    Oh I have missed the intelligence that is displayed on here. Play Keogh as the attacking midfielder? WHY? To play a guy who won’t congratulate a team-mate when he busts a gut to score a winner in the dying seconds the other week? To play a striker who scored 11 goals in the CCC last season, 5 of which came from the spot? We really need a one goal in seven striker don’t we? After all SEB and Keogh are failing so badly up front. (To be fair, I DO believe that FE is the third best striker at the club, and would put him ahead of Elliott, Ward and Kyle.)

    To play Keogh, Eastwood, SEB, Kightly and Jarvis, as some of you want, in the same team would be a defensive nightmare. I would stay firmly with 4-4-2, and leave Eastwood on the bench to maybe make an impact after an hour or so. The front four at the moment are playing well. Scoring two against a Walsall has-beens 11 is not reason enough to change a successful strike force.

    You talk of Roy Keane as some sort of demi-god on football. Ireland didn’t miss him in that World Cup. When he has managed an international team to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, I will listen to him knocking a manager who has done so. He has spent nigh on 50 million this season on just about keeping Sunderland in the Prem. MM spent less than a quarter of that when he managed Sunderland, and you wonder that they were relegated?

    As far as the Sunderland / Ireland connection, Paddy Ebanks-Blake, Wayne O’ Hennessey, Mick O’ Elokobi, Mick FitzKightly, Geordie Jarvis, Ant Olifinjana, Dec Henry, etc have all done well haven’t they? It’s a good job they all have SundIreland connections.

    We have one thing to thank a lot of you for. You did earn us the prestigious Prawn Sandwich Award. You are not at all fickle though. YOU JUST LOVE TO BE NEGATIVE. Please do what you did last season when there was nothing to knock in the early days. Stay away. We didn’t miss you. In all my seasons supporting Wolves, last season was by far and away the most enjoyable. “The Muppet” as you call MM saved our team from being a third tier team again. He makes mistakes. He is not the best manager in the world. He is a good manager though. You complain that he doesn’t listen. Why should he? Would you want a manager that picked the team every week depending on the whims of the fans? He can only play eleven, and five subs. We all have our favourites, we all dislike certain players, we rate some and not others. He would need a team sheet with thirty every week.

    I am not a Freddy Hater, I am not a Mick McCarthy fanatic. If Eastwood plays he will have my support. If MM stays, he will have my support, as will any future manager. (Oh Allardyce is wanted by some of you!! Enjoy the crick in tha neck you will develop watching the ball kicked long in the air all day.)(Paul Ince will be a great Wolves manager one day, I hope, but I would not bring him in yet.)

    The malcontent surrounding WWFC will only heighten over the close if mick stays.

    This man has driven a rift thru WWFC like
    none I’ve seen before, he is a suttborn peety pedantic little man, and his weedy, immature antics are seeping thru to all areas of the club.

    Vote for Progress.

    Vote for a brighter, golden future.

    Vote out Thick Mick

    AdMant, get a life. You are a pathetic excuse for a human being. I have never seen you post one single positive thought. It is you and your type who have cost the Wolves for years. You have pathetically driven out manager after manager, and ensured we never achieve what other patient clubs and supporters have. Are wigan, reading, Bolton, etc bigger than Wolves? No, they just have better fans.

    Such brutal words brereton, you peon. mindlessly accepting any drivel may be your lot, but some people have higher aspirations

    i have never called for anyone’s head before this, but refuse to back this donkey of a manager

    your derog remarks bely your own frustration, you waste of space.
