For 2 different clubs (Burton and MK Dons), Fraser has been in the top 3 for key passes and assists in the league since 2019/20.

Played in the right team to the right tactics he is very effective. He apparently doesn't suit what we want to do though, which is McKenna's call.

Bit gutted bout this tbh. Fraser is a far superior footballer that most of the other midfielders we have but because he cannot run very fast people write him off.

I think this is spot on,

I’m happy to trust McKenna on this one as he clearly knows how he wants us to play.

It won’t suit all of those in the squad as they were signed for a previous managers formation.

McK wants a high press - moving the ball at pace and players that are mobile and can cover ground.

Herein lies the issue with Fraser.


Like Charlton done to us at their place?

Didn't fit into Cook's rigid style and not mobile enough for McKenna's.

DIsappointing that it hasn't worked out but he is a big earner and getting him off the bill helps us get to the right side of the line in SCMP needs - plus do you want a highly paid player just nowhere near starting

Think it's difficult to judge overall due to him being used in the wrong position, but even then, he's top when it comes to Key passes,

https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/165/Show/England-Ipswich

Just think personally, there is a lot to work with there, you don't get the stats he did last year out of luck, we just haven't used him correctly.

Just a shame we aren't utilising a player who clearly has a talent that we're lacking in other areas.


His stats last year were 5 non penalty goals, and 5 assists in 44 games

In 28 games this year, Scott Twine has got 13 non penalty goals and 8 assists for MK

I don't like to claim penalties don't count - but signing a goalscoring midfielder who has 2/3rds of his goals from the penalty spot isn't quite what it was cracked up to be - and the fact he missed his one and only penalty for us just takes the p155 really!

Yes I have to agree. Never played in his preferred position. We really shouldn't be selling players of his quality.

I can only think that KM has a target in mind and we needed to free up wages and get a decent fee. If not then I think it's a poor decision to let him go.

Even when he did get games, was mostly used out wide rather than in his preferred central position.

Suspect he was snapped up as a quality target of opportunity, but then didn't entirely fit into the setup once the squad was fully assembled.


I find this incredibly frustrating. It took us 8 years to find a position in our team for Eric Gates.

I know times have changed but surely it's good to have options who are not first picks in the managers prefered formation. Otherwise we just become one dimensional and easy to play against.

Sheff Wed did their homework on Burns. Why must we always have the one prefered way of playing.

But what are we actually supposed to do with him? He doesn't make our strongest XI and won't be satisfied as a League One squad player.

I was thinking about that game and how Fraser would fit in.

Charlton were fluid and mobile but missed a bit of quality in the final third. Put Fraser in there and he might be the missing ingredient.

I’m disappointed it didn’t work out while I can also understand how he doesn’t fit into our current plans and might not fit into McKenna’s long-term plans either.

Yes. Very much so if it is a member of the Senior Squad.

I'm sure if McKenna said he wanted to keep him, he'd still be here.

I wasn't referring to him really as a goalscoring midfielder, his overall stats for last season were impressive i.e pass success rates, final third, attacking areas etc.

MK totally built the team around him though, everything went through him so he was always going to be key to a lot - I don't think he's good enough for that role here.#

Sure he'll do well at Charlton, but can't really begrudge the transfer

This is it really. It's one thing being the hub that is built around at places like MK and Burton but here he is having to compete with the likes of Morsy, Evans, Harper, Chaplin, Aluko, Celina, Carroll just to get a place on the bench! All of those (bar perhaps Harper) would start every week for MK, which makes it galling we are where we are.

Seems I'm in the minority but really not fussed to see him move on.

Never really took to him, flattered to deceive, went missing in games and can't appear to run.

I was excited by his scoring record but he's not not really carried that threat (in limited opportunities admittedly) and didn't realise so many of his goals at MK had been pens.

I have nothing against him though, I'm sure he's a pretty decent player in the right team but just doesn't feel like it would happen here and moving on is probably best for both parties.

Agreed, he could get himself out of tight spots, clearly a skillful player, but looked like he was running through cement most of the time, obviously didn't help playing out of position, but our set up means we don't play that way, so best to take the money on this.

He's way down the pecking order (rightly or wrongly) and he hasn't seemed to be that good here.

Seems to me we are cutting our losses which is unusual. We usually keep them Nd they don't improve......

We have a Load of midfielders so I'm not that bothered.

If he’s not a first choice midfielder, he wants to move on and we get our money back I can’t see a problem with him going.

Surely Ashton and Cook knew what type of player Fraser was and where he might fit in.
