Sunderland have sent bids for Scott dann , Steven nzonzi , jermain defo , Martin Ollson the fletcher deal is almost done just medical to happen either tomorrow or Monday morning
Newcastle fan in peace! I think you's will get fletcher and he's a good player but not worth that kind of money! Defoe will not go to Sunderland and llorente def not! Why doesn't wickham get a fair crack of the whip?
I dont think whickam is ready yet,remember he is still only 19 but he will come good,as for fletcher at 12mill plus its the going rate,safc and nufc ruined the market with hendo and carroll £55million for both!as for llorente even most safc scoffed at that idea,he will want about 80-100grand in wages.tk73
You make good points,i dont think defoe will come,llorente....enough said,wickham should be given a go. also think fletcher will come,good player but not too happy about the fee,maybe its a sign of the times with liverpool pricing a centre half at 23 mill ? thanks for your sensible comments. {Ed001's Note - you do realise Everton sold Lescott for 25m to City a few years back and before that Man Utd paid 30m for Rio from Leeds? So hardly a sign of the times to price one at 23m is it?}
Why would defo or llorente come to Sunderland iv supported them all my life and even Ian not deluded enough to think we can attract champions leauge players we need to get real , Scott dann , Fletcher yes defo , llorente no
I have to disagree about the going rate comment because as we have proven (tiote, cabaye and more relevant cissé) there is much better quality and much better value for money on the continent. In regards to wickham not being ready yet, how will he ever be ready if he doesn't get game time?
Ok ed,my point was is 12mill a lot for a proven striker,when CURRENTLY a prem team want 23 mill for a not more than average centre half! thats all.your condecention not required. {Ed001's Note - Agger is a top class centre half that suffers with injury problems. What the hell is that to do with the price for Fletcher? Try making sense in future lad.}
Ed,i'm probably old enough to be your dad...son! as the editor is'nt your job to read the post properly. point made was if agger is worth 23mill,FLETCHER IS PROBABLY WORTH 12 MILL. does that make sense! be surprised if i see a reply,unless you have more sarcasm! {Ed001's Note - I really don't care how old you are, your point was nonsense. Fletcher's value is not even slightly related to Agger's. Fletcher's value is only related to how much people are willing to pay for him and how much Wolves are willing to accept to sell him. It is hardly difficult to understand is it?}
Would love it if we got defo but a highly doubt he wud leave the capital to cum up ere
Sunderland to withdraw bid for fletcher - MON has positive progress on alternative target which will be completed over next couple of days
Ok then Ed, make sense of this then. The figure being banded around in this mornings press for Van Persie's proposed move to Man Utd is somewhere in the region of £15m. Wolves value Fletcher at the same price? Now I'm not suggesting we should be in for Van Persie as that sounds as daft as the Llorente patter, but O'Neills tactics so far in this transfer window remind me of Roy Keane's in our first summer back in the Premier league. He spent 3 months chasing top names like Diego Forlan and ended up throwing stupid money at second rate players at the 11th hour in a blind panic to get players through the door! {Ed001's Note - I didn't say I agreed with the price, I am just pointing out that comparisons with other people's prices are ludicrous, they are not related. Van Persie has had one season when he played more than a couple of games and the only season for him to score double figures. He is injury prone and his wages total over 100k a week (meaning you have to add £10m, with NI and taxes, onto his cost each season), Fletcher has not had the same injury problems, scored goals in a much weaker team, his wages are less than half RVP's too.}
15 MIL for the lad but 190.000 wagers fletcher my be 60.000 thats why all about wagers m8
Van persie has one season left on contract i think aswell...
