Hi Windy, I know you have a much better idea about Fredericks' ability than I, or most on here, but I hope despite all your undoubted knowledge you prove to be wrong on this one. I was most impressed By RF in the Europa game, and so still harbour hopes of him making it at Spurs.

I know this doesn't carry a heck of a lot of weight but he must have had some sort of progression as he made the Australian World cup squad and i think if my memory serves me correctly has been swindons skipper on occasion..

I suppose this may help ease your concern, as apparently (if it hasn't already been mentioned) this isn't a loan, it's a pre-contract. Therefore, he wouldn't be allowed to join up with the Spurs squad until New Year's Day. Looks like that rest period is assured.
Do you know what I like about Yedlin? It wasn't so much his performance against Belgium but how he reacted to it. Didn't even look remotely phased taking on Hazard and Jan. which of course is very rare for a young player coming on for an injured teammate in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.

Well said.
his name really annoys me for some reason. Other than that don't really care whether we get him or notaulinhobored:
Has anyone done the Yidlin joke yet?
if its a pre-contract why we paying a fee?
is this because seattle wouldnt be able to pay his wages if they loaned him..
seems a bit odd
Because nobody actually has a clue what's going on .
Hell if I know. Protocol probably means bout fuck all when it comes to Euro league-MLS deals.
you would think that we buy him, then loan him..
because dosnt the mls season finish before the winter window? wouldnt that mean if he is still on contract at seattle we wouldnt be able to sign him to then?
We are paying a fee because we are signing a contract for his transfer in January.
The MLS transfer window closed the other night so we can't buy Yedlin and loan him back to Seattle. Therefore we have bought Yedlin with a transfer date of Jan 1 so he can finish the season with Seattle.
cheers..
seems abit odd that we wouldnt have thought of this and acted sooner..
makes me think it might have been an ad hoc decision
Or rather it's just odd timing, because the MLS window so awkwardly overlaps with the PL's transfer period.
Was hoping that some concrete news actually had come out with this one today. I'm guessing we wait until Monday or Tuesday to make any sort of announcement. Hell, if it's a pre contract like people say it almost wouldn't surprise me if it's not announced until after the MLS season is over. Even though everyone will know it's gone through they might not "make it official." Anway, who knows.
I think it would be in our best interest to announce this sooner rather than later, if anything to build anticipation in the Seattle/American market before the move. My guess is it'll be announced before the month is over.
He's not an upgrade - that's the problem
I'm rather confident that Poch and co will get Kyle on track and play like two seasons ago!

He's done well - their fans love him, and think he should be playing at a level above.
Fredericks is a converted winger, and can 'do a job' defensively, but it doesn't come naturally to him. At Millwall he struggled to hold down a place, and I spoke to a few of their fans who said he was fine going forward, but was very vulnerable defensively. He'll end up in League One, I'd guess.
I hope so too - it's always nice to see a homegrown youngster break through.
