It will be 2. Couple of clubs in Scotland are in talks with him/usLazy_eye_metaphor said:
My money would be on 4Starinnaddick said:Fraser holds the whip hand.
1 He takes a pay cut to move elsewhere.
2 The club pays part of his wage to facilitate a move.
3 The club pay up his contract.
4 He plays out his contract
Which one will it be?26 -
I haven't seen any vitriol but I think I can help explain it... Here's my list of footballing priorities:ShootersHillGuru said:I never understand the vitriol towards a player for doing exactly what’s best for him and his family’s future security. Why should Fraser cut and run ? If I was him I’d do exactly what he’s doing. Sit it out and see if the club offer to pay a good percentage of his salary, pay him off or a combination of either. He’s a professional footballer selling his talent to the highest bidder. He’s not a Charlton fan, he’s an employee. It would be great for both parties if it gets satisfactorily resolved but if not I don’t see either club or player at fault.1) Charlton

4247) Scott Fraser
As you can see, he's quite low down. Yes, I can see the situation from his side, but should I care? Should I care that he make an extra 2-3k while doing nothing to earn it? Because I don't. I care a lot more that he goes and we bring in a quality player with his salary. Because that could be the difference between getting out of this league or staying in it.
Had he been a good player for us, I think I'd have a lot more sympathy.0 -
When he's gone I won't give him a seconds thought but at the moment he is the person in control of his immediate future.Chunes said:

Whilst I kind of agree - surely the best thing for his family is to be living with them?ShootersHillGuru said:I never understand the vitriol towards a player for doing exactly what’s best for him and his family’s future security.

He's had a very good wage for a number of years so presumably has a few bob in the bank.
His family are living hundreds of miles away in Scotland so surely the best thing would be for them to be living together7 -
He also might have considered not moving to Scotland while still under contract at a London club...Swisdom said:

Agree. He’s stated that he wants to be with his family and that’s very understandable, so, I’d like to think that will be his priority and he’ll do everything to get back with them, including being flexible on his wages etc.,Swisdom said:

you just know we're gonna end up funding half his wages when he goes on a season long loan on transfer deadline day to a Scottish club, may as well cut to the chase and just do it now8

There hasn't really been any vitriol.
It's fine for him to do what's best for him and his family's future security. If that means they move North and he honours his contract here in London being apart from them then fine.
If it means he wants to join them in Scotland straight away, also fine.
Not sure why Charlton should be paying for the later though as it is his life choice. Hence why we would be being helpful if we agree to pay part of his wages in that instance but shouldn't take the full brunt of any difference.
Sounds likely he will move on and that seems the best solution for all parties.3 -
Yes you will, you'll be updating us when he sneezes or burps, and update everyone on what he has for breakfast! It's what happens with our ex players; going to be painful with both SE7 branches of the Birmingham and Wrexham supporters clubs constantly spamming us...Starinnaddick said:

Agree:
I said this months ago that we would've to bite the bullet and pay about half of his wage to see him on his way back in Scotland.1 -
I guess you would argue that this is probably the last high value contract of his career if he moves back up north of the border and unless he goes into a real purple patch in his career and gets picked up by Rangers or Celtic, then it probably makes sense from his perspective to see how out this contract and then properly move back next year when he's up.Swisdom said:

Selling his talent is a bit strong..,,if he had played half as good as he thought he was,someone woulda paid up by now wholly for that talent,but he ain’t worth it,so we are stuck with him…if he was an employee in any other trade,he woulda been jogged on with a mths extra wages in his pocket…yes I know this is football & it’s different but yeah be great if he could literally take what comes,not hold out for money from us,that he really hasn’t earned…ShootersHillGuru said:I never understand the vitriol towards a player for doing exactly what’s best for him and his family’s future security.

Better to pay half his wages and transfer him to Scotland than pay all his wages to sit on our bench14

We may just have to get used to the fact that our GK position will be filled with AMB and Will Mannion...ok...🙄0

It's one thing to acknowledge the mercenary nature of the modern footballer but it's another thing entirely to advocate for it. If players are just business employees then we must be the customers.0

Scott Fraser has known his future at the Valley was over at least 8 months ago. Has has had that amount of time to engineer a move, but barely got off the bench for Hearts, so didnt really play or train for a move.
I'd tell him he can train with kids until his contract is up, and let it sink in how desirable a 30yo unfit, luxury midfielder is in a years time.
I'd rather pay to undermine these hostage-takers rather than subsidise their dream move.10 -
Wouldn't even let him train with the kids and potentially infect them with negativity or poor attitude. We don't owe him any favours at all IMOGisappointed said:Scott Fraser has known his future at the Valley was over at least 8 months ago.
