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

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

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.

Reminds me of this in Extras
Maggie Jacobs : [trying to persuade Andy to ask Ross Kemp for a line] Just talk to him. Tell him you loved him in Eastenders, Ultimate Force, Spandau Ballet...
Andy Millman : He wasn't in Spandau Ballet. You're thinking of Martin Kemp.

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.

Mind you, everyone does these days.
Let's just say it's a Charlton fan who is on CL.

Andy Millman : He wasn't in Spandau Ballet. You're thinking of Martin Kemp.
Maggie Jacobs : Aren't they brothers?
Andy Millman : In Spandau Ballet, it's Martin Kemp and Gary Kemp.
Maggie Jacobs : So who's this one?
Andy Millman : Ross Kemp.
Maggie Jacobs : Who's his brother?
Andy Millman : I... I don't know if he's got a brother.
Maggie Jacobs : Yes, he has. The bald one, looks just like him, works in the Queen Vic.
Andy Millman : Phil Mitchell?
Maggie Jacobs : Yes.
Andy Millman : Well, they're brothers on the show but they're not brothers in real life.
Maggie Jacobs : Yes, they are! They're the Mitchell brothers.
Andy Millman : [getting exasperated] What do you mean the Mitchell brothers? You know his name's Ross Kemp!
[Maggie is still looking very puzzled]
Andy Millman : What bit's confusing you?
Maggie Jacobs : [after a pause. mumbles] The brothers.
Andy Millman : The brothers.
[an extra walks by wearing a futuristic sci-fi costume]
Andy Millman : Is that confusing you too? Do you think we've landed in the future?
Maggie Jacobs : Shut your face!
