    will he though, score goals i mean. I remain unconvinced of this fact im afraid.

    Fletcher in all comps.

    played 295 scored 88

    Bendtner in all comps

    played 234 scored 66 times

    Bentdtner has 30 European games in that as well though

    and most Sunderland fans were pleased to see the back of Bendtner, but they they are craving for Fletcher and he will be an answer to our prayers as a goalscorer. (I know different types of strikers, but still..)

    I hope I am wrong if we do get him, but i have a terrible feeling about this lad, that he will be a flop and just not as good as some on here think he will be :(

    Bendtner has had service from Arsenal and Denmarks midfield. Fletcher has had it from Burnley and Wolves' midfield.

    £10m is stupid for a journeyman center-forward.

    DeFoe is 29! go on sign the reluctant twat for £5m and watch him fail!

    This is awful

    He'd scored 52 career goals by 22. That's not that bad a feat surely.

    Get a grip. Do you really want SAFC to buy failed center forwards?

    I dont.

    I cant say he will be a difinative failure, just like you cant say he will be a roaring success.

    Personally I just dont think he is very good and not really a step up (well atm anyone is a step up in the striker department, but as a club and where we want to be, I do not think he is the answer to all our prayers). If we do get him, I really hope you are right and I am left with egg on my face and he tears teams a new arsehole when we play against them.

    at this moment in time I just cant see it.

    Berbatov wants to leave Man U, unfortunately wages will be the stumbling block for us and teams alike.

    WTF is that - XD **** all about ?

    Frankly, everyone's opinion is as good as the next person, right ?

    But if you want an adult conversation son, my advice would be, don't express yourself by writing with fridge magnets !

    Don’t let him get to you mate. He’s nothing but an opinionated young bully who tries to give back what he received as a young lad to anyone who doesn’t agree with him.
    One day he’ll come out & confess about his fixation with the Sunderland board.

    Well my thoughts are...

    Anyone saying "i wouldn't pay..???????this amount for Fletcher". Just a quick reminder, you are not paying it, the club are paying it...

    MoN willl go to ES with cap in hand and say "please sir can we afford this fella", and ES will take heed of MoN's years of experience and say "Yep, or **** of he's ****e, iv'e read about him on not 606".

    Ah - happy days! I always liked Bob Lee and I remember Mel scoring at Roker to break a goal scoring drought that seemed to have lasted all season.

    I would be happy with Fletcher if MON wants him. Good solid pro and with good service I can see him getting 15+ goals for us this season, he will also create his fair share.

    He is not going to win the Golden Boot or single handedly shoot us in to Europe - if anybody could tell me who that player is (that we could realistically both attract and afford) then please let me know.
