    Would be a real shame if he ended up without a club for a long spell due to his own greed.

    The irony of him shafting himself like he’s shafted his previous two employers wouldn’t be lost on some.

    But let’s just hope that doesn’t happen. I really hope that doesn’t happen. I really do...
    Can understand why potential relegation contenders would be looking at him. Just the man you want in the trenches beside you.

    A loon from Cove showing what is utterly wrong with modern football.

    Just an absolute bell end of an individual.

    His contract ended and he choose not to sit a new one as was his right. Do you think Bournemouth extended all the contracts of players they were happy to free. If he had signed a short term contract to play to the end of the season and picked up an injury which would take 2 years to recover Bournemouth wouldn’t be offering to extend his contract.

    I think they would have TBH.

    In any event, I'm pretty sure if he'd played in those few games there could've been insurance put in place.

    The optics of it are very bad and it's hard to defend Fraser.

    This was a club that helped raise his profile and make him a millionaire. Bournemouth also benefitted from his career over the past few years as well.

    But, the team and team-mates and fans he had been a big part of for four years were dismissed in their great time of need. He has clearly been looking run his contract down (as is his right) for months and the enforced gap in football just highlighted his greed.

    And now he is “not fit enough” to be selected for Scotland and asked to be not considered. A shambles.

    How many other players refused to sign a short extension down south?

    I can only think of the Charlton lad - the vast, vast majority did it.

    The boy’s a dick, pure & simple - fuuck him...

    Wouldn’t the insurance only cover him for the period of the extended contract ?

    If he did get a serious injury Bournemouth would have let him go as if they’d been relegated with their finances they will likely be in serious problems. If they don’t get straight back up parachute payments only last a couple years and there’s plenty of bigger teams that have struggled financially.

    At thee do the day it’s a job for him and everyone of us would do the same to set himself and his family up for life.

    Not sure you'd be so understanding if he played for us and we were relegated.

    He's looking like someone that had zero loyalty for the two clubs he's played for.

    Loyalty is a two way street clubs can’t complain when every year they release players at the start of their careers and end of their careers. They could have sold him at any point during the contract but didn’t. Perfect example Jordan Ibe was garbage for them and they’ve not extended his contract.

    I always thought people on here didn’t like Bournemouth as they’re what’s wrong with the modern game spend out with their resources, but now they’ve been relegated it appears people are upset.

    Fraser has really shot himself in both feet, if he had stayed at Bournemouth they might not have been relegated and he wouldn't be in this mess.
