Looks like Kieran Richardson will leave by the end of the transfer window.
West Ham United are clear favorite, what worries me is Sunderland have under valued him big time.
Why should our club loss out on players.
And pay way over the odds for an average player.
I think all the players the press have link use with will not come to the club.
Maybe Warnock only.

Completely agree mate but it's because he is in his last year of his contract, if we hold out for to much, the teams will just wait until his contract ends then he can join for free

ed i have had a good word that the fletcher deal will be confirmed tomorrow and also that johnson has held talks and a fee and terms agreed but deal wont be done till he has a medical on monday have you heard anything mate. {Ed024's Note - Fletcher medical today so would expect it all to be finalised tomorrow. The odds on Johnson have been cut to 1/8 so you might be onto something}

Fletcher was the best you could attract you have paid massively over the odds but you had to pay it you had nowhere to go he's ok but just ok liked him as a player not as a man as a wolves fan would like to thank fletch for his efforts but has dumped on hibernian burley now wolves.If all goes well ok if he gets a chance to spit his dummy he will. Has a talent but has an overinflated ego.weve passed the baton good luck.

Wolves fan here.
Well done on getting fletcher cos i really rate him highly ,not sure if he is worth 14m but is any player worth there price tag , i think he had a hard job at molineux with that bonehead mccarthy in charge but o'neil will love him and get the best out of him.
Go get em fletcher

Agree fletcher best striker I've seen since Steve bull,class touch and fantastic in the air ,scored last season against man u, man city ,arsenal and spurs ,legend ,good luck fletcher,to all the Sunderland fanswho think he's expensive ,your manager is top class trust him and good luck!!!!

15 million is a lotta cash hope it doesn't cripple ya fletch is ok but just ok for sure you will loose money and for sure he will miss a lot of games he will get you 15 goals at best.Be interested what Clint Dempsey goes for think you will find it will be far less. Thanks for the dosh n that's not being disrespctful

Yep Fletcher is a super striker but i feel sorry for West ham spending 10m on Jarvis ,,sunderland definately got the better deal lol

Couldn't disagree more with that last post. What if Fletcher gets injured, where does that leave us ? Relying on a 34 year old who as MON has already stated won't play every game and is likely to come off the bench, and an existing strike force bereft of goals that has forced us to look to Fletcher in the first place. He absolutely needs another striker and quick - a partner for Fletcher. The rest of your post made sense.

Can't help but thinking if AJ was gonna sign for us he would of done so by now. Would be gutted if he did not but credit to MON for trying. Fletcher will be a good signing he's a work horse and us fans should get behind him and lets not forget he wanted to sign for us the moment we showed interest.
Believable8
Unbelievable2
Wolves fan here. Hope the rumoured 12-14 mil fee is true. That's great business for us and you will get a good player. Not sure he will pass his medical though when his #headsgone. Hope to see you again next season. {Ed024's hope so - as long as that means you come up rather than we go down !!}
Agree6
Disagree1
Stay positive about Johnson. Liverpool aren't interested apparently and our only real opposition is Spurs. The lure of coming back up here and playing under a good manager might be enough to get him. I have a feeling we will get him.
Agree2
Disagree0
Its a career defining move for the lad give him time to think, no one would dive in to this type of decision
Agree3

Go to spurs and battle for a place against bale lennon van der vaart etc or come to sunderland and be a god hmmm

The Mighty Geordies are in for him too and hes a Newcastle fan, If i was him id take half of what Sunderland are offering to join Le Toon
Agree0

Newcastle ain't in for him and even if they was that move would not happen. Besides aj is British they only like le frogs
Agree6

You dont grow up in a sunderland house and suppert newcastle. And vise versa just rumours. We can offer him first team football and more wages than spurs and toon

Would like to think this is true

Discussing personal terms with fletchers agent last night, talks started at 10pm, don't no outcome but it all sorted he'll be having medical today n ready to play against reading, I honestly believe this will be a good season for fletch 15-20 goals and hell be called back up to Scotland set up! I am a villa fan but being serious he, fletch isn't a Torres or a tevez, he's a bit if a rough arse but seriously he will stick
His head on the end of anything arms with Maclean, sess & Larson whipping crosses in will get goals for sure!! I wish both him and Sunderland luck
Agree8

Defo fletcher unveiled not sure bout Johnson I think well get pipped at the post again but wld luv to c him at sol hopefully the MOn factor and his pulling power cld influence his decision
