villan_007 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Fletcher has scored an average of 10 goals in 3 seasons in the Premier League so I'd say that is proven. If that's true (and i haven't checked) since when did 10 goals a season equal proven ? that's pretty woeful It was actually 12 in every one of his 3 seasons in relegation teams. Considering very few strikers hit the mythical 20 a season, and this guy has been 8 short in 3 seasons playing in the bottom 3 - I'd say that proves he can cut it.

Villan4Life Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Not sure if anybody else has posted this yet but Capital FM have reported that we've put a 13 mil bid in for him. yeah i mentioned it earlier after posting the original bit about some folk on Sunderland forum saying we have bid for him and someone started it was on capital fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wolves are mad if they think someone should spend £13+ on a championship player. So you think they should make a loss of nearly £7m?! Very harsh. Championship players are people too, you know? We're not saying we want him for free. He's goals kept him up one season so I'd say he has more than paid back the 7M they paid for him.

Ulver Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It was actually 12 in every one of his 3 seasons in relegation teams. Er, no it wasn't Burnley (2009/2010) played 38 scored 8 Dogheads (2010/2011) played 29 scored 10 Dogheads (2011/2012) played 32 scored 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 8 - 10 - 12 constant improvement. Basically he scores goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Improvement on Gabby Not sure that's true and i'm not one of Gabby's admirers You're arguing Fletcher is not good enough based on his goals to games ratio (1 in every 3). Therefore he must be an improvement on Gabby (1 in every 4 goals to games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i'm saying we're talking about the premier league obviously That's what is in question, whether he's a proven premiership scorer worth 10m +. Which he quite clearly isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaboy69 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 He has proved that he can score goals in some pretty shite teams - that to me makes him worth considering. But 10m+ is ridiculous. I think at 7m he'd be worth taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Who would you rate as a 10m prem striker? anyone that has performed at the top level and scored 15+ a season whether here or abroad (good leagues) on a regular basis not some string bean from the dogheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverentad Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The main problem is I cannot believe for the life of me that Fletcher is worth £13m. Then I try and rack my brains to think of a good alternative that would be realistic. I cannot. It is slim pickings out there for teams to buy strikers. Although he still is not worth anywhere near £13m! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at 7m he'd be worth taking Wolves Paid 7m for him, can't see why they would sell him for exactly the same price :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 In fairness to Fletcher ( I'm not a big fan of his, see him as a £6mil - £8mil purchase ), the only players to have scored more goals in the Premiership in the last 3 years are as follows. Adebayor - 32 Defoe - 33 Torres - 34 Dempsey - 36 Berbatov - 39 Lampard - 43 Drogba - 45 Tevez - 47 Bent - 50 Van Persie - 57 Rooney - 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Always been a fan of Fletchers, regardless how useless the teams have been he's played for, he's scored goals. and always looked a threat. Would welcome him to the club. Him and Bent with Weimann, Gabby complimenting would be a strike force to get us Top 10. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Part of me thinks £13m is way, wayyyyy too much for a player that hasn't really shone in the Premier League (irrespective of what team he played for), but then the other side makes me think about players like Chris Smalling and Phil Jones who played for averages sides, and have been snapped up for large fees. I suppose the main difference is that the latter two have age on their side, and can become much better players in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
