This may just be the signing that frees Fraser up a bit and allows him to play in a more natural role. Hope he would be able to find a bit of the form he had last season.
Having said that wouldn't be upset if we did offload him for a fee. to pursue a career as a painter and decorator in Dundee and give up football.
I think we will lose CBT & Dobbo and I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I don't think it's the end of the world if we replace them. I'd say Coventry is/can be better than Dobson for a start.
I repeat what Dobson dad has told fans .. Dobson got no interest in leaving it’s not even about money .. it’s how the length of contract worked out .
I wasn't there, but I know a few people really well and I am sorry Ronnie, you are wrong. This is not what Dobson's Dad. I have heard from another source when i was at the game against Oxford that "Yes, someone who had said that he was his Dad had spoken to fans. I won't say where and when it was. However, it wasn't about the length of his contract at all. From what I heard, Dobbo does want to to say, but it is due to wages. I am not going to break any confidentially here. Dobbo does want to stay. The indications are is to with wages he was offered compared to other players".
Good signing I believe, and a player to build the future around.. this might be the end of Dobson though, either this window or at the end of the season..
Fair play to the club for going back in for Coventry when look set to sign for Massive
Dobson needs to be kept to help us avoid relegation.
No chance of relegation ….. with or without Dobson
I think it's time to stop thinking about this window in the context of this season and think longer term (plus some good loans).
We want the kind of window that we look back at this time next year and say "some really important building blocks for a genuine promotion push were put in place then".
Looks like they've listened to what I said a month ago
Well I have to say I am pretty stunned by this - a Hammer mate of mine says he is very good indeed, and surprised he chose to go to a Div 3 club - is far too good for Div 3 he says - 3 1/2 year deal as well
I hope we keep hold of Dobbo and CBT - hopefully they will view this signing as a reason to stay onboard, as perhaps it would be worth hanging around at Charlton now

Document reads "Keohane sent to Coventry"
;-)
Would be nice to have a second in the door today but I can't see it happening
”Where’s Andy?”
Proper mustard etc etc
Striker and CB at least and hopefully a winger its not a shabby window.
Getting rid of deadwood such as Fraser will be nice also.
Does not feel like we are ‘fucking about’ this window.
Getting out of this division is far more valuable that any sell on clause.
Reckon we are a top notch goalkeeper, couple of defenders and a play maker short.
Clarke Harris a bonus
