Yes he did, very well.

Yeah, given Fraser wasnt a regular starter in the Championship for us I'm not sure how much or how effective he would be in the Premier League. I wouldnt be upset if we did get him but its not a deal breaker if we dont, unlike Downes would have been.

No, although the Ugly Inside did a rather convoluted article suggesting if he left Arsenal on a loan deal we were the only choice 🙄

The chances of Arsenal loaning him out to a team chasing Champions League places would seem remote tbh

Thank goodness MLT hasn't sunk this low!!

🤣🤣🤣 he probably won’t 🤣🤣🤣

Is that Count Arthur Strong out of make-up ? 🤪

I see Howe is playing his usual petulant twat role with Frasier and is making him train with the U21's while not granting him his move.

Yeah, he was at his best when he played second striker to Ings.

Pretty spot on assessment to be fair.

No, it’s ok thanks 🤣

Umm, I kind of figured from Tuesday nights interview with Russell Martin & Flynn Downes when they both stated, a couple of times “but Che’s gone now…” 🤷🏻‍♂️

You would think after so long out every minute he could get under his belt in pre-season would be essential. I know it was only the first game but to not have him on the pitch for even 10 minutes last night was concerning.

Totally agree........ however to play devils advocat if you look from the clubs point of view he has played Premier League before, he has scored a few goals in the league so unlike the unproven Stewart for instance they could make the case he is a Premier League striker (if you have a very very low bar). If the idea is he's back up, an off the bench option I can see why they are holding out, although persoanlly I wouldnt. But if they are viewing him still as the possible no.1 striker we are in the shite.

Yes he’s really not good enough for us to still be offering him something as a kind of fall back option if he doesn’t get any other or better offer.

Yeah exactly, if anything Newcastle are more than ok in the keeper dept esp with him fit again.

Yeah in theory but how often did that play out last season when Flynn was either injured or poisoning himself !

Are Ipswich looking to do a Notts Forest ffs? They seem to be signing or “strongly linked” with just about anyone !

Didnt Chelsea value Broja in that bracket when we had him on loan ? It was certainly a valuation based on potential rather than current ability thats for sure.

I hope you are right, we need to move on from the Che Adams/Seku Mara days and bring in some qulaity. I do wonder how much faith they will put in Ross Stewart, both in terms of staying fit and secondly what he might be able to produce in this league. I mean it is possible we already have a gem in our midst with him......or not !

How much longer are we gonna get people milling around drinking beer ffs?

He will be THE player wearing the new kit at the Puma Event as a double whammy to announce his signing and show off whatever abomination (or not) they'll be wearing this season !!

Yes and you can sign up through it too so I don’t know how old that restricted countries help page is !

West Ham have just finished their first friendly in Austria, different 11 each half and no Downes so further confirmation it’s happening me thinks……Sky aren’t always correct after all !!

I hope it’s elapsed, don’t want him slinking back asking if that contract that’s been on the table for a year is still there to sign !!
