innerjambo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Ok, so all quiet on this one, nothing major, no indepth discussion so far. He's come on as sub, and played from the start. He's indicated the possibility of a permanent deal come summer. What are your thoughts so far........... I think he's had limited impact on each game so far, as in, not a stand out. Showed a bit of eagerness and energy, without producing very much. He obviously needs a bit of time, to feel comfortable the way the team plays, and play to his strengths. Hopefully that will come, but right now, I'm on the fence, need more, and for him to step it up. Edited February 10 by innerjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threedoorsdown Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I think the major problem is anyone playing within about 15ft of Shankland looks mediocre. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will need to redevelop, and integrate back into the Scottish game quickly. Let's hope he kicks on from here, and produces encouraging performances.

Uncle Buck Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 He’s clearly not fully match fit so still getting up to speed. Final ball etc was maybe a wee bit off. But he’s very brave on the ball and always looking for it. I’m sure he’ll turn out to be a good player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 He looked like our first player to be subbed v St J. Not as good as Grant in my opinion but happy to be proven wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number-16 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 My only observation so far is that's he looks like he runs differently from most players, almost gliding? Like a lot of players will run/sprint with just their toes/ball of their foot making contact with the ground. Fraser looks like his heels are on the ground more when he runs.

N Lincs Jambo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Definitely too early to judge. He seems to be making noises in the press about wanting to make this loan move into a permanent one. I have no idea about his contract situation with Charlton so with that aside he’s got 13 league games plus a cup run (fingers crossed 🤞) to impress the management enough to make him/ Charlton an offer. I hope he succeeds but if he doesn’t then we’ve not wasted any significant cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, was just after initial thoughts, if any. No big deal. I, like everyone else will be giving him a couple of months, for any serious judgment. Not made any big impression unlike Lembikisa so far. Edited February 11 by innerjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS86 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Early days. Thought he had a good chance to get a shot away vs Saints and he tried the cut back. I think once he gets to know the players around him and there's a bit of understanding we will start to see more from him. The last Utd fan I spoke to about him said "he will amaze you, but he will frustrate you" and basically went on to say he'd show flashes of brilliance and then the following week you forget he was playing.

I recollect comments regarding Benni, Oda , Forrester, among others, people wanting to dump them after one game. If anything I think Naismith is a better judge of talent than any of us , so I think I will go with his judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to him now, to show us what he brings to the table. Fu*k squad fillers!! Every team in the world needs squad fillers. Overall he’s shown glimpses of what he can do but he needs to bed in to the group and get up to match fitness. Anyone passing any kind of judgement already is a moron. All in my humble opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Nothing wrong with starting a thread about a new signing after his first start. in saying that, there’s not much to say about him.

brawlad74 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Very early days but no instant impact and well premature to be talking about permanent contract. Hope he's able to show us what he can do between now and end season. It's a position we need to strengthen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karipidis Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Looked decent off the bench away to St Mirren, and then was pretty anonymous at McDiarmid but that was a horrible game in general. Shows some nice touches and clearly got good technique, just need to get his fitness up before he can be properly judged. Very sensible from Hearts to get him on loan.
