Wolves fan here. just wondering if your all happy with fletcher? because i got the impression along with other wolves fans you felt he wasnt good enough for you.

Up to now we are, I dont know why he doesnt finish a game though?

Agree1 Disagree1

Fletcher is amazing thanks for letting us sign him

Agree4 Disagree1

Don't think it was a case of us thinking he wasn't good enough for us. It was more questions over whether he was worth his price tag.I mean at one point 15mill was been bandied about so I'm sure you can understand peoples scepticism.I really hoped we'd get him because he fits our team well. So far so good. He hasn't finished a game because he had no pre season so is not fit. His first game since last season was ours against Morecombe.

Agree2 Disagree3

At the end of the day we were always going to sell him but Moxey had to try and get every last drop. I for one am glad we sold him because his behavior was bringing our team down with the things he said such as 'if im not sold i refuse to play'. I hope you guys dont get the same problem with him and that he serves you as well as he served us.

He never refused to play. He was injured all pre season even before we showed interest

Agree0 Disagree2

He played some pre season games for us but as soon as his transfer request came in he apparently went out paint balling and playing golf with his mates up until you bought him.
And you are paying/paid £15m for him

TDW

Agree1 Disagree0

It was confirmed on Monday in an interview that the fee was twelve. We did pay that-at the minute he has a 100% conversion rate on chances. 3 goals in 2 league games. That's what we're paying for. Were you complaining when he left hi club to join you lot. Think not. Now I'd leave the argument there because the more posts you leave the more bitter you're beginning to look

Agree0 Disagree2

Im thinking there is a little bit of sour grapes here.
I for one would not of cared if we had paid £15m for him.
Hes class.

Jeez.

Agree0 Disagree0

Whos arguing? but seeing as your turning it into one I'm all for it. I was just telling you facts like he played for us in the pre season he even captained the team for a game, then he supposedly injured his ankle but could still go paint balling and play golf and then an article quoted him as saying i will refuse to play.

But the fact of the matter is he's a good player and he deserves to be in the PL and all Wolves fan knew he would be playing in the PL this year but his attitude towards the end of his Wolves career was very unprofessional and of course we weren't complaining but he didn't treat Burnley the way he treated us, and if i were you id be hoping he doesn't do the same at Sunderland because you paid allot more for him than we did(and in my eyes he hasn't improved vastly since then). also could you please give me a source of that interview please because we have been told its £14m-£15m with add on's.

The only reason i came on here in the first place is to see how you were finding him and to wish you guys the best of luck and apparently that's bitter?
