14m Fletcher

oh, pity. would have been nice to sign someone with talent

and he has been relegated twice with teams....the 12 goals were mostly against cr@p teams with 2 goals coming against United/Arsenal where wolves got hammered.

we all have opinions.......lets see what happens with the new 14m pound hitman

gota feeling he will fare better than your own 35m ermm hit man lol

and dont get me started on hendersons fee or joe allon

im a united fan so not sure what you are on about.

sorry der der its freddie thats the liverpool fan doh

i do think the Torres/Carroll deal has made the world a little mad, but saying that the Henderson deal was also stupid wasnt it.  There has always been inflated prices for English players but what i don't get about Fletcher/Allen is they are not English.

fletcher and saha going to fire them into the championship

what is even more ridiculous now is the 8 mil they spent on conor wickham (the next great english striker) my arse.



exactly!

Fuller, Nolan, Carew all scored 12 goals in the prem in the past few years...........scoring 12 goals in one season doesn't say much about the quality of player does it.

will help you out with this from the article

Fletcher is one of only a dozen players to have scored 30 Premier League goals in the past three seasons and one of only three to have done so at a club that has not played in the UEFA Champions League during that period.

Fletcher will have a field day with Johnson and Larsson supplying the crossing

aaronh...If Johnson signs Larsson will rarely be playing....it will be McClean and Johnson.

brilliant, he still got relegated twice, the article is very pro Fletcher, not balanced argument is it?  When a player starts to score 20 goals then i will take notice, i have highlighted any muppet can score 10-12 goal in the prem.

when was the last time a relegated player scored 20 goals?

fwiw, Wolves would still have gone down even if he'd have scored 20 goals

i never said anything about a relegated player scoring 20 goals.

Please take off your blinkers.  he is an average player who will nick a few goals, i would want more for 14m....he is worth 7m tops.

you're saying you won't pay attention unless Fletcher scores 20 goals..

3 players did that last season, let's ignore all the others

and only two (just barely) did it the season before

like i said, take your blinkers off.

how many goals will 14m fletcher getsunderland were the only team in the entire football league not to get a single corner never mind a goalgood luck to him he'll need it

Anyone have any idea what this jibbering simpleton is on about?

He's lower end Premiership player - £8m for me

last saturday nyron you thickett you've got to go forward to score goals in simple terms
you've got to venture into your opponents half to have a chance of scoring
let explain its simply to you every other team in the football league managed to win at least one corner except sunderland they must be a great example of attacking football i dont think you'll get a very good return on your investment but by all means live in hope

You can find decent players cheap. The west brom side that started against liverpool( and beat em 3-0) cost less than joe allen apparently... now thats good buisness

Must be the most inflated price in football history
Useless last year  shocking attitude too ugly too sell shirts 
I'm on Sunderland for relegation

wow he has scored a goal, long way to go before that justifies the price tag

Sounds like he couldn't miss

no doubt you will be saying that every week after he keeps scoring

Der brain seething

why? 1 goal lads, came down.  I said on another thread that Carroll will be a great signing for West Ham, he played great today but i havent gone back to the forum to gloat after 1 game, you lot are the type to declare the prem winners after 2 weeks!

Another tap in

Already scored more than Bendtner did last season

2

Bargain

Time will tell but i will take a punt Fletcher will not get over 10 goals

i am sure Fletcher will cope with scoring 8 in 34

great player

Der

Thing is £14m £12m whatever it was doesn't matter overall if he does his job he is a decent player like I have said all along I don't need the fact he scored today to judge that I've based it on what I have seen of him at Wolves and Burnley.

and what i saw of him at Burnley and Wolves i say he is a decent average player

He's already been in the box more than Bendtner did all last season.

First one was a good finish...looked like a finisher

Fletcher scored double figures in each of three seasons for two really **** teams

Sunderland actually look capable of not being useless mugs and Fletcher/Sunderland will both benefit

maths not your game is it................that would be 9

Two goals on his debut? Not a bad start!

He never seems to score winning goals though

You can only score goals really, how often they are winners depends on the whole team and who you're playing shurely.

Scotland looking brilliant attacking wise without him as usual

They were lucky to get nil

As I said fletch will be very decent for Sunderland but no way 14m evn at 25 he has no resale value in move IMO

He's probably worth 10m or so, so quibbling over the odd 4m is nonsense when that would just about get you a squad player these days.

Why do they want resale value they signed him because they want him to play for them not to sell for profit.The fee was actually £12m anyway so like the guy said in post above quibbling over a few mill isn't worth it.

goalscorers always carry a premium - I would say Carroll's 32 million was the most ridiculous price ever in the history of football. Fletcher's 14 million looks very reasonable by comparison. I think Fletcher is the better player of the two.

Having seen both I rate Carroll very highly just pool didn't play to his strengths, fletcher is at his level will do superb job at Sunderland

As for price it was 12m 2m add ons so 14m as apperance an top10 related which should happen

BARGAIN

time for der der to come along seething shortly

Fletcher has 3 goals in 4 shots

has he ever scored a winning goal? Again Leigh Griffiths outshone him today.

ttt

I think he could be one of the first players to get an Internaational manager the sack by not playing for the country.

That wouldn't be a bad thing crisp Woy is rather boring

Agreed Barca

still no winning goal

Yes it is clearly Fletcher's fault he plays with teams with such sh1t defences with players like Bramble and Berra in them.

No P/L win in 12 for MoN.

Their most successful post-war manager got sacked with a better record than that.

Had MoN been a Geordie he'd have been in real trouble by now.

I'm not one for players dictating to the country but we're bloody desperate.

If Craig Levein wants to hang on to his job he needs to contact Fletcher and get it sorted.


We've got Kenny Miller up front ffs

he is not dictating thats fecking baws, levein is a coock who took the hump after fletcher tweeted the fect that he was available to play in the no striker game when the **** had stated there where none available, then fletcher after returning from 3 monts inured asked to be excused a friendly as he wanted to concentrate his efforts on helping wolves stay up, levein stropped and that was that, he has never once said that he wouldnt play for his country

Who's right and who's wrong doesnt really matter bottom line is we're gonna miss another tournament and the more we miss the further we slip down the pots and the harder it gets.

We need our best players and Fletchers one of them.

They should apologise to Fletcher now that Leigh Griffiths is injured.

TTT

Will it be the winning goal?

i should think so

winner

Well Sako has replaced Jarvis nicely. We just need a £3m version of Fletcher.

Siggy

Siggy looks like a bit of class but I don't have him down as a 20 goal a season man. Although hopefully Ebanks-Blake will be fine for this season.

yes should be fine for this league

what happened to der der?

Probably emailing betfair to get his posts removed especially the one where he said Fletcher will not get more than 10 goals this season.

Interesting how the OP said no where near worth £14m I think he has has been proved wrong now also.

Agreed Barca. We have all been made to look like a bunch of Craig Levein's.

Just checked his wiki profile he was born in England someone needs to tell Woy it's a disgrace him ignoring this kind of scoring form.

Best striker to come out of Shrewsbury since Luke Rodgers IMO

I was wrong thought he wasn't worth £14   Still doubt he will stay at this level he's a miserable f ucker and he won't sell shirts cause of how he looks

So being a pretty boy and selling shirts is more important than scoring goals?

I thought he was £5m or £6m over priced but got it badly wrong.  My humiliation will be compounded if Jarvis turns into the new Cristiano Ronaldo under Big Sam's sophisticated management.

you can prove anything with facts....

player of the month

Behave. He's only touched the ball about 10 ties in that month.
