I was at the MK Dons game and Frazer was unplayable that day.
Just not sure where it leaves our midfield if he signs.
Assuming Dobson will play as the holding midfielder that leaves two places between John, Gilbey, Lee, Morgan and Fraser.
Clare too but he's playing CH anyway.
I'm not including Watson.
An upgrade is an upgrade so not saying we shouldn't sign him but still feel we need another striker.
We have midfield numbers but a serious lack of quality & an upgrade is well needed. Gilbey and John for one place. Fraser and Lee for the other. Morgan and Watson move on at the end of the season. Clare stays in the back three / fills in for Dobson in a pinch.
Someone young with that creative spark is Paddy Lane at Fleetwood, he's currently joint second with Twine for assists with 8. He's also scored 3. Maybe if Fraser doesn't come off he'd be worth a punt, you'd think 400k would suffice.
Don’t think we’ll be buying young kids from the north west again in a rush
Imagine the creativity in a midfield of Dobson, Szmodics and Fraser.
We are definitely bad enough that we could do with both players not either / or…. It’s more than likely neither I’d suggest.
Exactly what i was thinking both now or even target the other for the summer would be very good i think poss let lee go back after loan ends and go back in for ss

I was at that game as well, and while he was very good, our midfield massively helped him. Watson as the defensive midfielder didn't work then, as it didn't work against Hartlepool...

14 goals in a season for MK Dons is impressive on paper but less so when you factor in 9 were penalties.
Highlights video makes him look like an alternative to Lee, but it’d be a longer term option for next season if he signed permanently.
Like I say, I don’t know a lot about him but my gut reaction to this is it’s a wrong move at a wrong time.
No player in form or having ambition is turning up at Charlton at the moment, unless we are paying shitloads of dosh. The players we have dug us into a hole that they need to get us out of, or do one once this season is over.
Don’t agree with this. A player looking at joining us should be able to recognise that we’re building the club back up from being completely on its knees. We have a good, safe owner; well respected young manager and a decent squad that just needs a few additions and release of some deadwood and next season could and should be a force in this league.
on Scott Fraser, he was definitely in the top 5 players of league 1 last season and would be an excellent addition and an upgrade on Lee.
Always worth remembering that Kermogant was out of favour at Leicester before he joined us.
He was very good for Burton Albion before moving to MK. I wanted us to sign him when MK got him 18 months ago but we were going through the ESI turmoil at the time.
He’s a really good player at this level but I’d be concerned it seems to have fizzled out for him lately.
As much as I’ve liked him as a player over the last couple of years, I’m very nervous about signing him… or anyone, given our transfer record lately.
Like I say, I think it’s better to be trying to find the next player rather than signing the ones that have already been discovered and is floating around the fringes of the squads of our competitors.
Burton have a wealth of relatively unknown midfielders we could go after: O’Connor, Powell, Gilligan to name three. There’s Hayes and Lane at Fleetwood. McCormick & Assal at Wimbledon… and those are only when you look inside our own division.

Fair point, oh for just one kermogant, I don’t even want a team of them!!🤣
Out of curiosity, checked who’s contract was expiring at the end of this season, and saw Morgan’s was the end of next season. Crazy that a player the majority of us were thinking maybe had no future with us a month or so ago, is on the books until the end of next season.
I don’t think any of the current class of permanents that have their deals expiring at the end of this season, other than Washington/Purrington will be kept on, Inniss and JFC if they can prove fitness. Obviously difficult for JFC to do given he may not get many games
Pearce probably as player/coach again given Jackson’s manager
The full list is
Gunter Souare Purrington Matthews Washington Pearce JFC Inniss Watson
I don't remember many of the players we come up against in this god forsaken league but Fraser is one that has stuck in the noggin. Thought he was excellent against us last season.
Darragh with his public "honest" dishonest talk - soo boring!
The guy who said southall was a gd guy would be great for charlton and a close friend of his
NOT to be trusted
Was it a quote directly connected with us?, if so the amount of times he uses us as showing interest etc. Is relentless. Have we pissed him off in the past?.

I remember It was around the time we supposedly had interest in maddison and toney and they met up to discuss the transfers all aload of bull to drum up interest and no doubt was bullshitting eachother at the same time both dodgey characters
no idea if he has it in for us but your right always uses our clubs name rather alot
I agree. As someone who had also come in for his fair share of abuse on here I would kindly ask anyone trolling or baiting others on here to grow up......or leave the site & join another one.

Surely it’s easy to see how he could come into our midfield when you look at how poorly the current bunch have performed in terms of assists & goals.
Like I say, I think it’s better to be trying to find the next player rather than signing the ones that have already been discovered and is floating around the fringes of the squads of our competitors.

But i do agree he'd surely be an upgrade on what we have, and i'm surprised Ipswich are looking to get rid so soon.
