    You know what, I reckon Martin will get the most out of him. I think this could turn out to be a terrific signing.

    We've all been saying we need some grit, some aggression and a nasty streak - this guy is 5ft 5', so he's going to be angry. I thought that's what people wanted?

    I just hope that if we have used all subs and the keeper gets sent off, at 5”5’ I hope we don’t put him in goal.

    Pretty sure people wanted a midfield enforcer, not that arsehole who nuts you after the pub! <laugh>

    Not overly enthused by the signing but I am definitely a fan of loaning players rather than buying them this season. If we can loan in a few decent players for this league who help us go up then we can spend next summer when we hopefully are more attractive to players

    We're in the Football League now, if you don't have at least one player who can throw a good headbutt*, you're a sitting duck.

    *Even if, in Fraser's case, that headbutt is going to be to someone's midsection.

    Larios, Arma & Fraser as a potential left hand side

    Could turn out to be a very shrewd piece of business.

    I’m very happy with this signing

    it reminds me a lot of when we signed Shane Long. A bit uninspiring at first maybe, but rather than another young player we hope will be able to do what we need, here’s a proven player who has already done what we need.

    He was rather good this afternoon. Put the wiillies up QPR every time he had the ball. Excellent start.
