Seems to be a very similar player to Evans, and his contract is up next summer. Thoughts? Great shout! He has been really impressive in the games I have seen him and last year of his contract is interesting. They will definitely need to sell if they do not make CL. Watched the freiburg game and Lienhart stood out too. Some very good young players in bundesliga. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although getting on a bit now Stindl is a fantastic player also, seen him put on a masterclass at Celtic Park against us under Rodgers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mee-9 Posted 17 June 2020 Share Posted 17 June 2020 Ryan Fraser's just rejected a short term contract extension at Bournemouth. So is free to leave at the end of this month! Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still want a left footed right winger brought in as our top priority this window and move Gray and Ghezzal on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him abandoning his team and openly admitting to not trying earlier in the season makes you question his character though. Would we want a person like that in our squad?

eddylcfc Posted 17 June 2020 Share Posted 17 June 2020 Not really a need at this point in time but Florian Neahaus the CM at Monchengladbach looks such a quality operator. Tall, elegant on the ball and just 23 too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Bournemouth fan i'd be furious, but I half understand not wanting to sign a short term extension. He's leaving on a free anyway, and any serious injury leaves him in a difficult spot. The admission of not trying is more concerning about his character. I might still take a punt on a free, for non exorbitant wages <70k and if he were happy to start off the bench, and especially if we sold Gray. I imagine he'll get some more tempting offers than that, however. Edited 17 June 2020 by martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 17 June 2020 Share Posted 17 June 2020 I think Fraser would be great. Gives us 2 quality left wingers going into a European season (hopefully!). He couldn't be guaranteed a starting place though and his wages as a free transfer might rule us out anyway. A big 6 club will offer him more and with similar playing time.

I can't see any of them touching him after what's happened this season. Liverpool were credited with an interest in the winter but I doubt they'll go for him, even on a free. They've a few younger players coming through who they're more likely to have as a back up player in Jones and Elliott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 17 June 2020 Share Posted 17 June 2020 I don’t get the hype around Ryan Fraser. He’s a bit like Michu from Swansea. All things point to being a 1 season wonder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance, poor form to be turning down a contract to see out a season (which is what I understand he was offered) and being one of their best players, has stuck 2 fingers up to Bournemouth and his team mates. I think his decision to do that will have damaged his reputation quite at bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in fairness it maybe good for Bournemouth, doesn't show Fraser in good light at all though. Bournemouth pretty much made Fraser, and in their time of need he decides to stick it.

Not sure Mourinho values integrity that much and Arsenal's transfer policy is unpredictable. I'm not sure he's exactly an elite player, but a rare free in a market desperate for value for money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promises made, impending transfer cancelled, just take a look at Mahrez and his actions, and most people on FT would take him back in a heartbeat.

Scotch Posted 17 June 2020 Share Posted 17 June 2020 What Fraser has done isn't too different to Evan's essentially downing tools on his last season at WBA and I don't see to many fellow fans looking at him disaprovingly. Football fans are so fickle. Quite a few people here turning up their nose at a player for rejecting a contract extension and yet, I'm sure many of them cheered Danny Simpson who beat the sh!t out his mrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signs a short term contract to the end of the season and busts his leg bad next match and declared out for a year, you reckon Bournemouth would give him a x years contract to sign at the end of this one? Doubt it. He's looking after himself. No shame in that in these crazy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHawk Posted 17 June 2020 Share Posted 17 June 2020 Problem with Fraser for me is he's actually a bit shit. Done nothing of note this season and last season got lot of assists off the back of Callum Wilson goals. They struck up a good partnership but that seems to have fizzled out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's drawing an ,albeit weird, comparison of how football fans are weird/fickle in their support for a player and how they can go from hero to villain in a flash.
