El-Reacho Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 What about Carl fletcher from harchester utd Fixed Pretty sure John Gregory enquired about him as Paul Merson's replacement IIRC. It was when he had the Jag with the V1LL4 number plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 What if it was Fletcher for £13m or Carroll for £20m? Surely the correct answer would be to laugh down the phone and put it down ? Neither are worth anything like those figures Fletcher's not proven at this level at all (neither is Carroll mind) he's had a half decent season at Wolves playing with 2 wingers laying chances on a plate for him. Yet his career stats show him as a less then 1 in 3 striker. That's a 5m tops return Harewood managed to score 16 or so in a season for West Ham, did that make him proven and good ? **** off Fletcher.

dudevillaisnice Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Neither are worth anything like those figures Agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Improvement on Gabby so yes if we have a lot of money to spend. If we don't then we should not pay more than £10m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Fletcher for 10M- 13M or carroll for 17M-20M ?????????????If it's Fletcher for £13m or Carroll for £17m then I'll take Carroll please. If it's Fletcher for £10m or Carroll for £20m then I'll have Fletcher. I'd go along with this Pretty much agreed. Maybe add in the wage aspect and it tilts it a bit more towards Fletcher. Would imagine he'd get 50k max with us, while Carroll would want to be a top earner, making either the same or more than Bent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher is proven - the lad scores goals, and has done for longer than half a season. Not disagreeig with the price though - wouldn't be massively comfortable paying it, but if we have then do it.

makouns-knitwear 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 That fee is madness, look at it this way Wenger has bought Giroud a player who scored 21 goal & 9 assists last year in Ligue 1 for £9.6mil, Podolski a player who scored 18 goals in 29 games in a poor Koln side for £11mil.

NorthEastVillan Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Good player and would work well alongside Bent but clubs need to realise that the days of spending huge amounts are gone. Wolves are mad if they think someone should spend £13+ on a championship player. Time to look abroad again as, despite needing some experienced players, it's not worth breaking the bank for.

bully Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If Lambert wants him then I hope we get him. He got goals out of holt, Morison etc so fletcher could work out nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeig with the price though - wouldn't be massively comfortable paying it, but if we have then do it. Sadly it's not rubbish. How is he proven at this level ?, anymore than Harewood for example ? His career stats are there for all to see. They are not the stats of a top striker. And for over 10m you'd be expecting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wanted here Fletcher has scored an average of 10 goals in 3 seasons in the Premier League so I'd say that is proven. Harewood is a crap example because he only managed it one year and you could tell he lacked quality. The real test is to do it year in year out. I agree 13M is too much for Fletcher but unfortunately you have to pay over the odds for British players. I would sooner we sign Fletcher than no new striker at all. Anybody that knows anything about football can see the boy is a great finisher and excellent in the air. Something we are screaming out for.

Villaboy69 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Must admit when it was clear Wolves were relegated Fletcher was definately one of the players that I'd like to have seen us go for. But at that price its a NO GO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 His actual premier league stats courtesy of Wiki Burnley (2009/2010) played 38 scored 8 Dogheads (2010/2011) played 29 scored 10 Dogheads (2011/2012) played 32 scored 12 totals = played 99 scored 30 I'd want a damn sight more than that for 10m + Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
