Freedman Weighing Up His Options

Last updated : 10 June 2008 By Kevin Markey
The 34-year-old striker spent the end of last season on loan at Leeds but he has a year left on his contract at Selhurst Park and insists he can still play a big part for the club next season.

"I just need to hear what Neil's got to say and weigh up my options," he told the South London Press.

"I've got a year to go on my contract and I need to decide if I'll fight for my place, I have changed previous Palace bosses' minds in the past. Iain Dowie and Peter Taylor both told me I might not be in their plans and I ended up signing new contracts. But it's about getting the opportunity to show what I can do.

"I don't need to prove myself at Palace but I need to prove myself to Neil Warnock. The last thing I want to do is dig my heels in and stop the likes of Victor Moses and Sean Scannell coming through, but on the other hand I do think I can offer something."
