Not the sort of winger we need though. He's not better than Bernard, Walcott or Iwobi and they haven't exactly been brilliant.

Lets face it, we've bought so many turkeys Bernard Matthews is going to sue us for breach of copyright

Really we need a left footer in the team, mate. Whether they're a classic winger, a wide forward or more of a technician who likes to come inside, we just need someone who can operate out wide and is left footed.
Absolutely not the type of player I want us to be looking at, almost certainly the type of player we are looking at. Already widely known, mid 20s, big wages, it's almost a full house in Brands bingo.

Iwobi is garbage out wide mate - Arsenal fans always said he suited playing central in a 433/4231 which we wont be doing under Ancelotti.
I would keep Bernard anyday over Iwobi as atleast the lad can play in our system.

I've always thought he was an decent, hard working if unspectacular player, a bit in the Kilbane mould, but obviously a bit quicker and about half the size. If we still had Moyes, nailed on he would be all over this signing.
That said, I've seen the links with the RS, and I can see him going there on a free and turning into an absolute world beater. They will probably sell Mane/Salah for insane money to Barca/Madrid, get Coutinho back on loan, and probably make 1 massive signing (Mbappe?) and will inevitably come up smelling of roses with all 3 of them being revelations and it looking like another master stroke.
We seem to have a lot of wide players at the moment, and none of them (assuming Richarlisin is now a forward) are reliable enough to give us even 2 or 3 good games on the bounce, so he wouldn't be the worst signing if we could shift 2 or 3 of what we have for actual money and bring him in on a free. The 100k he is asking for sounds like a lot, but seems to be fairly standard now, and would still be less than what most of our current options are on. I do think we need a real game changer for 1 of those positions, so having 1 hard worker for the other role isn't the worst idea, and we could use the transfer money elsewhere.
Probably wont happen, but I wouldn't be against it if it did.

Frustrates me, when you sides like Leicester signing Maddison, Gray, young, pacy, exciting players, were signing Walcott who’s limited, Bernard who’s lightweight and play Sigurdsson outwide so we can give him his guaranteed 90 minutes of jogging.
Fraser lumps a ball to Wilson who does the work. Absolutely not. Massively overrated.

He is one of those players who only ever plays well against Everton.

The dictionary definition of a one season wonder? If we have any serious ambition to break into the Top 6, we should be looking at a better class of player than this. How many teams above us would he start at? I'd probably take him as a squad player.
Pretty interesting analysis of some of this seasons biggest under-performers including Fraser and Gylfi, if you haven't seen it:

But you totally contradicted yourself, saying if money is tight, keep the guy on high wages. Who’s sale wouid look loads better on the balance sheet.
I wasn’t excited by the iwobi signing. But I haven’t been by watching Bernard either. And it doesn’t really matter if they fit the system or not if they aren’t good enough it’s not going to improve the team. Ancelotti has played Bernard in 2 of his 4 away games. Chelsea and West Ham, with iwobi and siggurdsson not available. For the West Ham game And he’s been taken off in both games.
Hes not good enough And Fraser is even worse.

Interesting in seeing stats backing what we all already were thinking. 45M and the market has changed greatly in a short time.
Poor value for money.

Neither setting the world on fire.
We are just saddled with a lot of average players who show the odd glimmer of being something a bit better, but never making it.
Ryan Fraser would lower that average. All squad players.

the only good thing he's probably done is score on that counter attack against us...
