...Ryan Fraser.

 

Thoroughly deserved, well done loon 

 

Hope he keeps up his positive style of play for years to come, and that it doesn't get kicked or coached out of him.

Agreed,

 

From reading an interview (I think on the Scotsman website) he sounds like he won't let any of it affect him.  In fact he seemed to take enjoyment from the fact he was annoying the defenders, and so he should! 

Just hope that he keeps performing as well as he is. Pleased he got some recognition but he hasn't made it yet.

What's his contract length?

I knew someone (most probably you) would say that 

What's his contract length?

 

 

Until the end of this season.

Think that was the maximum he could have signed at his age.

 

I'm sure he'll stay.

He will.

 

He's a huge Dons fan with his head screwed on 

Probably one of the few players I don't have fears of losing. He definitely sounds like he knows he's got plenty of development to do, with us.

 

Long term deal please AFC!

I hope we're already working on a new deal for him. I'd have no hesitations in offering him a 4 or 5 year deal tbh be honest.

Cheers, Manc. Good read. One of the few players I don't want to punch in the face. Speaking of players I want to punch in the face this bit made me laugh:

 

Darren Mackie was actually very good with me. He taught me a lot, not just about football but life in general

 

:lolabove: I wish I could enrol in the Darren Mackie School of Life! Wonder if we'd do much reading?

That's what Utd seem to do.

 

Sign them up on long term deal and sell them for decent amounts.  It's about time we got in on the act.

To be fair, we've been pretty good at getting money for our youngsters lately.

Aye but only when they have around 6 months left no?

 

I suppose we'd need the media to hype them up as well like they do with all the other clubs' players as well.

Indeed. Hibs used this method to pay for their non public park level training facilities did they not?

At least our young players learn their place by picking up dog shite.

Aye. Apparently that was the making of the 1983 team.

To be fair, we've been pretty good at getting money for our youngsters lately.

 

 

we've only been getting what we're entitled to by law because of players' age. we haven't actually sold any of our youngsters apart from fyvie as far as i can mind, and we took about the same fee as they'd have had to pay in yoof compensation for training costs anyway.

 

 

and speaking of fyvie, he was making all the right noises at that age too. less talky, more signy contracty.

Who's Frasers agent, as that's really the key to him staying for a while.

From reading that article I hope that if Fraser did want to move on his faither would soon talk him oot of it. Still. Let's worry about this when we have to and not now.

Fraser is genuinly the most exciting player I've seen at Pittodrie for years. Far more exciting than Aluko and Pawlett and made of the stronger stuff than the pair of them put together.

Agreed, best prospect since Jess by a distance

Best prospect since Arthur Graham

 

Edit: I should add that this is not because I don't/didn't rate Jess, it's just I think Jess was a central mid playmaker, Fraser is more an out & out winger, probably our first since Weir, certainly our first real talent, home-grown, in that role, since Bumper.
