He's not good enough for one of the North London clubs, barely good enough for us. His reputation is inflated due to the much maligned assists stats. For a winger he's a terrible dribbler.

You can just imagine.

Ryan Fraser is available on a free transfer........Parish : "Right, we'll have him".

I don't think he will come to us anyway. He will be holding out for a top six club. One of them might come in for him as a squad player only. He will then live off the back of saying he is a top six player without even playing that much.

Another Jack Rodwell @ City, Steve Sidwell @ Chelsea, Scott Parker @ Chelsea, Xherdan Shaquiri @ LIverpool, Danny Drinkwater @ Chelsea.

And he likes to fall over a lot.

Fraser of this season: no
Fraser of last season: yes

The question would really be which one would we get. Bits I've read are that if the team plays well he does, if they don't neither does he. As a player suited to counter-attacking football he could fit in here and is more likely to provide traditional crosses than Wilf which could benefit Tekkers. I imagine he'd want big wages though to take what some might consider a sideways step.

I remember watching us play Bournemouth at home three or four Seasons ago (early on in the season and I think we drew 1-1)...It was my sons first ever Palace game.

Other than that, the main thing I remember from the game was a very good, quick/sharp young winger who played for Bournemouth that day, who I had never heard of before and in my opinion was their best player during the game. The person in question - Ryan Fraser.

If his weight and fitness are in good shape then I think he’d be an excellent signing, provided the wages are sensible!

I think you are both missing the point made, which is those that moved thought they were good enough for top six which is why they ignored the clubs like ours. They obviously were not hence they became bench warmers. The choice is and always has been, play for the smaller clubs or provide back up at the bigger clubs. Some prefer to say, “I am in the squad for Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool”, rather than, “I play for Palace”.
