Discussion: Freedman's signings

I am probably in a minority but I believe Dougie has been an incredible asset for Palace in terms of recruitment.

To properly analyse his record we need to look at his signings in the round. Obviously some of these may be board, manager, or scout influenced but below are all the signings 'under his watch' as far as I know/remember.

I am bound to have missed a few though and got bits wrong so please copy paste and correct.

As manager

Alex Marrow (nominal)
Ward 400k
Jermain Easter (nominal)
Jedinak Free
KG 600k
Andre Moritz (free)
Bolasie 200k rising to 700k
Delaney Free
Glen Murray Free


As Director of football

January 18
Jach 1.5 million
Sorloth 9 million
Rakip unknown loan fee


Season 18/19
Kouyate 9.5 million
Meyer Free
Guita Free
Batshuyai 1million loan fee
Sako Free

Season 19/20

Ayew 2.5 million
McCarthy 1.5 million
Cahill Free
Tosun unknown, loan fee 17million to purchase?
Camarassa unknown loan fee

On the basis of the above I would say pretty much every season has seen superb signings for an amazing aggregate transfer fee. Only that first window as D of F was poor, with Sorloth not being a bad signing IMHO but a terrible, terrible price.

As I said do copy and paste in a more complete list, and of course comment.
