Ryan Fraser

We are looking for great dribbler to upgrade our squad. Zero dribbling per game for a winger is a joke. It’s equivalent to a defender who can’t tackle. If we bring in a cazorla replacement, I can’t inagine how they can play short combination with Fraser’s technical ability.

 

He has more ability, not necessarily a better player. He's 27 now and hasn't ever really shown he can be a very good player consistently

 

I'm not comparing the 2 abilitywise.

Just saying he should be our bench player a bit like Shaqiri for Liverpool is. It was a smart buy they made for cheap.
We should do the same.

 

I would rather play Nelson than Fraser who can’t even perform a dribble.

 

With welbz leaving, there will be room for both.
Our bench has been terrible since Welbz injury.

 

That’s not the point. We should get a winger who can at least do a simple step over. Zero technical ability is not good enough for arsenal.

 

Are you saying you wouldn't be happy with Fraser as a replacement for Welbeck? Because if so you're a troll

I dont know anyone who wouldn't be dissapointed with him as a our only winger signing but you'd think the guy could barely play football the way you're going on about him. 7 goals 14 assists. When was the last time we brought in a winger who does that? Sanchez ?
Those are very solid numbers in the EPL

 

Because he is foreign?

Shaqiri is another lazy player. Talented but lazy. Weve enough players like that.

 

Not because he is foreign, shaqiri is just the better player.
I don’t mind signing talented English wingers, there are some of them who are quite skillful.

 

one legged Fraser > ****qiri

 

As a pure footballer, Shaqiri is comfortably better than the whip in merchant Fraser.

 

Some directness and pace in our attack will be refreshing.

 

We have too many players who are too direct.

Bring back the hleb, nasri, cazorla, fabregas type of players, or else we will be another 2010 stoke city playing **** football.

 

I’d take a gamble on Leandro Trossard over Fraser if we’re looking for cheaper options. Not having that ‘Weaker League’ nonsense either.

 

There is no directness with our wingers whatsoever.

 

In no way is that remotely true.

 

giroud, walcott —(no skills, extremely direct, focus only on the end product)
vs

auba, laca, Özil, ramsey—(slightly better, still very direct, focus only on the end product)
vs

Van persie, Sanchez, Cazorla, Nasri—(skillful players who open up spaces with dribbling, amazing in keeping possession in build up and create chances, great close control, one touch football, beautiful through passes that cut through opponent defence, do lots more in build up so the team will create more chances leading to the end product)

 

But we're talking about out and out wingers.

 

But we have too much direct players in other areas, if we add one more on the wing we will be stoke 2010.
I would rather get a Saint Maximin type of player than someone like Fraser. Saint Maximin fits more to the 3rd category I’ve mentioned. I don’t get why we don’t sign players like that anymore.

 

For his size & role Giroud had a good amount of tricks, flicks & touch in build up play. Comparing completely different types of players.
