I don't think he'd be the answer to our striking problems but I like the lad.
He always gives it his all and like the best of Man U players keeps going to the final whistle.
I think Hull were the biggest losers in the Berbatov debacle because if they had got Fraizer they'd have some sort of striking pressence and would in my view have the 5 or 6 points more meaning safety.
I think he will be a useful premiership striker and he was too good for Liverpool squad players ( not reserves) in the Carling cup.
He made things happen yesterday( in a way which others haven't) not just with the pen but he also harrassed their GK.
I'd like him to start at Pool with JD because it means we'd have some sort of balanced formation.
I know he missed a chance late at toon away but that happens to all strikers and given the lameness of our strikers recently I think it's a pity we haven't seen more of him.

I agree with you, he isn't the most gifted player of all time but considering his age he's a decent player. Nice guy aswell when I spoke to him and he's never moaned about not being played.

not enough quality for us except as cover maybe, but he's been hard-working and has never complained even though his career probably took a step back this year just because he was used as a pawn for berbatov.

Fair play to him, didn't want to come here, we didn't want him and as a 20 year old that can be daunting especially when the fans are licking their wounds over losing their best player to your parent club.

He looks a decent prospect and is absolutely rapid. Can't see him making it at United if a certain Tevez can't so I expect he will end up at a Sunderland a Stoke or a Hull and may blossom into a good striker in 2-3 years.

I think he would have made the step up from the Championship to the Premiership successfully. But only if he had stayed at Hull or gone to another mid-lower table club. Gives his all in every game he plays, I can remember thinking last season how impressive he was. I hope he has a really bright future, just not with us.

His transfer fee is probably a third of what he commanded when he came here. Fergs better leave our players alone in the future :)

The Man Utd fans still don't like berbs. haha

Agree re his attitude. Never complained about not playing. Has the potential to be good. Always gave his all. Bright future.

I agree with everything in this thread, I hope he does have a bright future. Although not very bright when playing us...

I think he will move on to another premiership club next season someone like Wigan or if they stay up Hull and be a great success there in the next two or three seasons. As been mentioned by people above he gave his all when ever he played and he hasnt moaned at all about hardly playing in 2nd half of season. Good luck to him where ever he ends up!

Pretty much have to agree with all you say here

Was it him who picked up the lino's flag and waved it when JD took him out?

I thought it was Chimbonda, but I was in East Upper so I couldn't really see.

As for Frazer... he's pretty shit to be fair. He puts in more effort than most players I've ever seen, but he certainly doesn't have the skill to be a good enough player, at the moment at least.

Frazer has done really well for us this season, when he has come on he has always looked to make things happen by getting at the opposition. In another world where we didn't have Defoe or Keane I think Frazer would have made a great acquisition but alas Frazer must return to Man U, but I know that many fans will give him a hearty reception when he turns out against us.:clap:

he certainly gives it his all, but as people have said already, he's just not that good.

good impact sub though, and think he was a good option against city as we needed someone to run around up front, and that eventually led to the pen of course. so if he did want to stay and harry wanted him, i'd take him as cover (if bent is off) as he'd do a similar job to bent, and would be happier as one of the cover strikers at spurs than DB currently is, particularly if robbie 'no-sub' is still guaranteed captaincy and a starting place next season.

anyone else agree?
