da pinup bet: Rob Lee has spoken exclusively to Football FanCast about Newcastle’s summer arrivals and says he expected more from Ryan Fraser after arriving with a big reputation.
da brdice: Newcastle United seemed to have spent well in the summer bringing in Fraser, Callum Wilson, Jamal Lewis and Jeff Hendrick. However, that has not transpired onto the pitch with the exception of Wilson who has 10 goals to his name this season.
The Magpies have had their injury problems this season with Fraser being one of the more frequent members in the treatment room, which has disappointed Lee.
Fraser excited Lee when he arrived from Bournemouth after a number of big clubs were looking at him, however, he’s failed to deliver so far with injuries seemingly holding him back for large parts of this season.
In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, Rob Lee spoke of who had disappointed him the most after a busy summer.
“I’d say Fraser for different reasons. I thought he was excellent at Bournemouth. Arsenal and a few big clubs were looking at him.
“I don’t know the reasons but he’s had niggling injuries.
“When they signed. I thought Lewis, Fraser and Wilson, were all good signings for us. I still believe that you just have to give them a chance.”
Newcastle have some favourable fixtures in the next few weeks so, Fraser has a chance to step up and be the man to guide the Magpies to safety.
Bruce will be hopeful his summer signing can showcase his form which made the club bring him in on a free transfer.
