If the Scott Fraser deal is off I’d be tempted to suggest that the new manager wants to keep him or at least keep him around as an option until the end of the season
Wonder if we’re waiting to sign a replacement (Collins?) before we let Fraser go? MA did say we could have a signing in by the end of the week but it was more hopeful rather than certain, and they’d know more in the next few days.
Seriously wtf. Our best player for the last 3 seasons and we can't offer a more attractive contract then one from a two bob Hungarian club. Ffs, what a shit club we are.
Maybe you’ve got to ask yourself why the best/only offer Dobson has is from a Hungarian club and not a championship or league one club.
Confusing what the holdup is. If the departure of Fraser has been delayed until we get a new attacking midfielder, why hasn't he been in the matchday squads for the last 2 matches?

We have Watson and Fiorini so I think that’s unlikely but there must be some reason so maybe so.
Hopefully it’s because another team has come in with a permanent offer rather than a loan

But nobody knows if that is the best/only offer.
We don’t, but have you heard any rumours whatsoever of him being linked to any other team?
I am sure something would have come out by now if there was a serious offer from another club - especially considering all the stuff leaked on our side.

I'm not sure a lack of rumours means much. We've seen things can happen very quickly and it might be that he'll go when he's a free agent anyway. And either way I can't honestly say a lack of interest in Jan would affect my assessment of Dobbo's abilities as a footballer.

I am not a big Fraser fan, but neither Watson or Fiorini have yet to show they are a consistent 10. Playing 352 we need a creative goal scoring 10. Fraser is probably better there than Watson or Fiorini (who are both loans as well.) So maybe the current crisis means we cannot get anybody better in to fill this gap, hence Fraser stays.

I have worked abroad before and have travelled a lot and never found a city better than London. It has culture, history, architecture, great restaurants, theatres, great sport and much more. It's not perfect but no where is. I think English people talk it down toi much at times. Having said all of that I have never understood why more English players don't play abroad. Not sure Hungry Infront of 3,000 people is overly attractive though.

Experiencing another culture, learning another language, there are benefits particularly if the financial package makes things worthwhile. For Dobson, he'd certainly have an easy time out there playing as the standard would be Championship level at the very best for the top sides. Aside from all this, I'll be very surprised if he ended up out there.

Hearts are trying to work out of they can play him against us before the season ends.
It is a bit bizarre, as i couldn't find any real link. You'd understand it if they've got an English manager or someone on the coaching staff who worked with Dobson before.
Also although they're considered a fairly big team in Hungary, they're tiny in reality. Their stadium holds 14k, their average crowd this season is less than 4k, their main sponsor withdrew from the club last summer and last year they only just avoided relegation by 2 points. So i'd question exactly how much of a better offer they could give Dobson based on all that.

again take any opportunity to have a dig at the club .. they have now offered a very good package to Dobson ( his Dad confirmed that to a number of supporters ) ….. as the club said they heard very little back from his agent .. that’s not the club fault
As it came from Cawley I didn’t doubt there was truth in it. I’d still be surprised if it’s where he ends up though, as you say with a young family it probably doesn’t suit him.
If you're living somewhere like Erith or Thamesmead then yeah I can see why you'd say London is a dump, but if you are a mid 20s footballer earning 150k a year then you can afford to live somewhere nice in a nice house or flat and not worry about the cost too much.
It would appear that Fehervar are at least matching Charltons offer in monetary terms but what else are they able to offer as inducements ? Rent Him and his family a nice villa, car to and from training, a certain amount of flights home ? Could be quite a life experience for a couple of years before his child enters the schooling system. I wouldn’t necessarily rule it out completely.

What a weird scouting job by them.
Now if I was Dobson, I'd probably rather play in
The appeal of living in London isn't there anymore imo, it's expensive and it's a dump other than certain areas. I'd be way more inclined as an English lad to take a risk in another country.
I think what may sway in our favour is him having his young family.
I also think he will land a contract in the championship or league 1 if his contract runs down here, a lot of teams will snap up a hard working, defensive midfielder in his mid 20s with top tackling and defensive stats. Even as a squad player.
So maybe the current crisis means we cannot get anybody better in to fill this gap, hence Fraser stays.

Has the transfer euphoria of last week now subsided a little ??
Cosmic.

As from what i've read from Cawley, Charlton and Derby there is no mention of any sell on fee.
talk me through that then please
