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.

Went to bigger club every time or do you want him to stay at lower level club. green eyed monster

Good News guys Johnsons odds have been slashed to 1/8 to join us - come on !

Johnson on wearside for talks

Hope so is this true

Is this true we hope so

Another signing who will be in the bars in the Toon till he gets warned off

Johnson more likely to live in wynyard closer to his family n mates

Johnsons signing would send a signal to other players to come here

Warned off? oh sorry its cos ur all rock ard!

Not sure quality players will be thinking ah Adam Johnson is there lets follow him because he's a real world beater, let's get realistic he's coming to get first team and be at home nothing more or less

"Johnson more likely to live in wynyard closer to his family n mates"

He is from Easington in County Durham ie nowhere near newcastle

Wynyard is at Stockton - numbskulls, no where near either Newcastle or Easington. FFS

Andy carrol at academy having talks

Dont be silly, go back to cloud cuckoo land and push a linesman over

More chance of us signing messi. No more strikers after fletcher. Oniell says in the echo

Don't want him another Lee clarke

Carrol twice the player fletcher is.....but he aint coming

Carrol struggled for goals in a top team Fletcher scored double figures for a relegated team i think fletch is the better player

Bowt as mobile as a black and white deck chair without Barton average at best

Andy Carroll cudn't kick my arse

Carrol in scotland at hearts game

Not even in the squad so where is he

They dragged carol to edinburgh even tho he werent in squad

Carrol aint played many games last season for liverpool and never finished 1 game that he started...if fletcher was that good why aint liverpool tryed to sign him exactly they want demsey who is by far a better goal scored.

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!!!!

Thanks to wolves supporters for the comments,i think the lad will be great for us

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

Announcement at 6 tonight double signing !

REALLY ? {Ed024's Note - I've not heard anything}

Think he means we paid double the price for Fletch ha ha

Funny that. Still no news of double signing!

It's now 7 btw!!

Hi Ed. Have you heard anything on the rumour that we have bid for Charlie Adam? {Ed024's Note - Would be very surprised he recently got wed to a local lady and is happy in North West - unless he is told by BR that he is not wanted then I think he will stay at Liverpool}

O'Neill closing in on top targets as Johnson and Fletcher hold talks with Sunderland

Fletcher yes but not sure that AJ is in talks.

AJ has had a meeting with Mags Byrne

When did this meeting take place

In his imagination !

Meeting held this afternoon, signs are positive

Johnson def in talks

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.

Theres still 9 days to go ffs !

MON waiting on AJ decision before making a move for Victor Moses. Also Martin Olsson is weighing up a move to us and MON has bid in for a right back but don't know who this is yet.

Would like AJ but victor moses not to be snubbed at?

Have plenty cover for rb. Bardo gardner oshae cuellar to name a few

Aj by far and away the better of the two

Mentioned victor moses few days ago would like to see aj here just think vm is more of an mon type player hes willing to graft.

Been told that a Sunderland scout was at a Institute FC youth game and looking at some promising players. Hoping to find the new James McLean.

Hope he's not looking for the new James McLean don't want another muppet.

How can you say that ?! Are you blind or just stupid ? McLean is quality

McClean a muppet?? Are you on drugs??

Got to be a mag,take no notice(the greeneyed monsters are coming out cos fatash wont spend any more of his massive profits)

If it was a choice between not spending anything, or signing Fletcher for £15m, i would keep my wallet in my pocket. Desperate signing.

You would keep your wallet in your pocket are you mike Ashley's love child lol

Mike ashley is a lot trimmer than their lot so he cant be his love child

Mclean = epic!
you think heskey = epic.
