always looked as if grafting for the team was way below his self assumed playing methods .. Hearts is a good old club that should well suit Gentleman Scott0

Already talking about hoping to make the move permanent. Whether you think we should keep him or not based on ability he’s one we need to sell in the summer, no point having a player who isn’t happy living down here.

He said: “I think he can fit in a number of positions. He can play as a ten, play off one of the sides, play as a six, if you're in a midfield three he can cover the eight positions."
I mean, good luck to the lad and i hope it works out well for him, but have they actually watched him this season? He must have an amazing agent.

Way too harsh on Fraser. He's been terrible this season, really struggled, but it sounds like he's had a lot going on in his head and needed to go back home pretty badly. He was good last season though, 9 goals and 5 assists is a great tally for a player regularly tasked with all of our creative responsibilities in a very poor team. We entirely relied on Rak-Sakyi pulling something out of the bag or Fraser conjuring something and that makes it very difficult for a player to find space when he's always going to be targeted to stop the flow in a weak midfield.He's generally suffered from coaches and fans not knowing what kind of player he is. He's not a 10 who can break the lines with incisive passing and he's not a deep lying play dictator. He's good at driving with the ball, has great feet and can spot an opening to create gaps in opposition teams with his movement on the ball but he needs the right players around him or he becomes a luxury. He's not fast and not a good tackler. That's why he did so well at MK Dons that season; he had midfielders around him who carried the weight and a team around him that totally controlled play. That meant he could probe and pop up in dangerous areas while his teammates pushed the ball around, and he's an excellent finisher so he benefited massively from the opportunities that came up. Our stupid team being reliant on forcing chances through individuals having a good moment in play meant that we were never fluid enough to make the most of his movement and constantly caught in transition when the moves break down, where he's essentially useless.He was wasted last season by being a decent player in a really poor team being expected to dictate games rather than profit from positive attacking play and things just haven't worked out for him. I hope he does well at Hearts and we start signing players who actually suit what we're doing rather than chucking them in and hoping.10

If he has personal issues for wanting to go back home - and didnt he have a kid recently, maybe his wife wants to move nearer her family - then fair play to the club for letting him go.
But if we are doing him a favour, why on earth should we be expected to make up his wages? So, for example, if he was on £5k a week and Hearts are only able to offer £1k why do we have to make up the difference? We should surely say we're doing you a favour but we're not going to make up the difference between what Hearts offer you and your salary down here.
Or does the fact he has a contract for £5k a week mean he has to be paid that in total?2 -
Reckon he'll do well up there back home. A good player in there and seems a decent lad so hope he pushes on.
Sometimes foreign lads just don't settle in England.8 -
I don't have much time for these players who need specific roles in specific formations surrounded by specific types of players in order to perform. And I think that can often just be an excuse.

I get that he wanted to move back to Scotland, but he stopped showing up for us. And I'm a Charlton fan at the end of the day.

Shame how it turned out. He never really improved us from the JFC era in the middle of the park.0

The issues we've had haven't necessarily been in signing players who are overly specialized, it's been in not signing specialized players who fit together cohesively. Signing Kirk and no overlapping LB, having Dobbo, Fraser, and Watson but no "Shuttler" to play with them (to be fair that was supposed to be Camara), now having Coventry, Dobbo, and Bakinson and no #10.1 - Sponsored links:

No chance Fraser gets a look in with jones. Can’t imagine him doing the work demanded to play under jones. just got to hope someone takes him on next year4

I think you'll find it's not his fault and Hearts just aren't playing to his strengths ..... just like Charlton and Ipswich didn't. Not his fault.20
