    You can see why Ipswich readily let him go. Nowhere near good enough for their team

    I'll judge Fraser when he's had a full pre season, his long Covid has improved/gone, his asthma is settled and the 2 cysts removed on his knee have healed. Hopefully 30th July.

    Not really though. Not when it's very clear we have not seen him anywhere near his best yet.

    Not that it hasn't been disappointing but judging him when he's had multiple health issues at once is harsh, especially given none of them point to him being particularly susceptible to injury.

    Have to say I’m slightly salivating at the thought of what Fraser might be able to produce under Garner.

    I can’t really remember the last time we had a ‘pull the strings’ type midfielder who controlled the game and really linked up play well. 

    Although this is Charlton, so I fully expect to get my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on.

    We should be building the team around him, on paper he’s our best player. So that means 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 and getting him in his favoured position on the left of the midfield 3. If Garner gets his style right and Fraser in that position then he could easily get 20 goals contributions like he did for MK

    Is he as good as Forster Caskey ? Time will tell .  I know they aren’t the same type of player but one can only assume that Dobson will be first choice in the holding position

    What JFC has over both Dobson and Fraser is versatility. In theory you could have an effective trio where Dobson sits deep as the shield, Fraser is designated as playmaker and JFC is the connection between the two who can support both/either as appropriate.

    Where that leaves the likes of Gilbey and Morgan is still up for debate.

    Where they should be, back up at best. Ideally move one or both on and bring in a first choice player so the other three have genuine competition for places.

    The one on the left was hanging around The Oak beforehand accepting drinks from strangers and not owning up to who he really was. Nice lad otherwise.
    I seem to meet a lot of those on match days... :)

    This is where I stand on Gilbey and Morgan too , probably look to move them on and find another senior starting quality CM. Then develop the likes of Henry,Anderson and Adigun (if he stays) behind them.

    I think Frazer is gonna feel like a new signing this season as we didn't get many chances to see him after he joined us and when we did he was always subbed of at 60ish

    Lavelle does not look very tall, or is Fraser quite tall as well?

    Fraser is about 6 foot tall according to that bastion of fact Wikipedia and Lavelle 6 foot  three so probably just a case of perspective.

    It's a case of IT'S NOT FRASER!
    Let's just say it's a Charlton fan who is on CL.

    Oops. Well Lavelle is still taller than he looks in that picture then.

    One of these is Fraser, the other is a lifer.

    The joke started because Lavelle mistook the fan for the player at the Sponsors dinner and the players were joking about it on their WhatsApp group and then with the fan, all in a good way.

    Fortunately for the fan, who does have a masters degree, he looks like his mum.

    I can't believe we've signed a lifer's mother because they looked like Scott Fraser.
