he can't be that good if Coyle didn't sign him for Bolton when he moved over there. he took a few Burnley players with him, yet didn't take this guy.
They all got relegated, so it doesn't matter now, but i really think you can do better. How about Bendtner for roughly 7-8 million?
I'd honestly prefer to pay £15m for Fletcher. Don't rate Bendtner that highly, he's not bad but the fact he's a knob doesn't help the case. I'd be happy with him for £4m
Aren't you thinking of David Nugent mate? I only seem to remember Fletcher scoring against us for Wolves. Nugent (like Ameobi) is the classic player who's garbage for 36 games a year, but stick him in front of a red and white shirt and he'll turn into a scouse Messi...
Wolves have denied they have accepted a £12million bid from Sunderland for Steven Fletcher. The Black Cats have reportedly made an improved offer of £10million, plus a further £2million based on appearances, after they had a bid rejected last week. Speculation had reached fever pitch that the Championship side had finally relented and accepted an offer for their prized asset. However, Wolves do not want to let the player leave for less than they believe he is worth and discussions are believed to be ongoing about a possible deal. Rumours "Rumours that we have accepted a bid from Sunderland are incorrect," Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey told the Express & Star. "They want the player, but we haven't accepted anything." Aston Villa are rumoured to be closely monitoring the situation as boss Paul Lambert is an admirer of the striking ability of his fellow countryman.
Paul Scholes possibly the best ever Premier league player. PS Are you pretending your mother is dead today?
Id argue Scholesy, perfect role model in football really (although I admit he has been sent off a bit...) Never bad in press as far as I can remember and always played brilliantly
Someones life outside football shouldn't come into decision making on his skill, mate. Going by that criteria George Best was rubbish.
Git a feeling that when we decide a fee with wolves for Fletcher then other clubs will put theres in there just letting us do the donkey work

Was it posted on someone elses twitter? My problem is, though I'm not enamoured with the guy, I can't come up with a realistic other option personally. please log in to view this image
I was just having a root around, think some SAFC fans group found it. It is his actual twitter page, just not sure if it's for real or photoshopped. He has written wolves without a capital w, maybe he rushed or maybe he didn't notice!
