Well looking at the top 10 given out by the football league I think the TOTY will be Fielding/Foderingham/Johnstone Byrne Ayling Flint Bryan Luongo Freeman Alli Murphy Garner Henderson
Why does everyone care so much he isn't in the top 10? The role he plays will never grab the attention of outsiders. Freeman with the attention he's getting is bound to get clubs looking at him. Apparently Eddie Howe was in the ground a few weeks ago to watch him. He'll be gone in 1-2 years at best. At the end of the day if (imo) vastly overrated players like Luongo are worth 4-5M with 6 assists, whilst Korey Smith is probably in the market worth about 1m at best then so be it.
clubs and money being what it is, despite thinking that Freeman is worth a lot more, I doubt much over £2m would be agreed- We will probably never now how much if he was sold as it would likely be undisclosed.
Freeman was very good at L1 although he's sometimes still undecided what to do when in a dangerous position. The step up to the Championship for a player in his position is a big one and he will face much better players next season. It will be interesting to see if there is any interest in him and how quickly he adapts in the hope he stays.
