Over on the Toon board we love a good poll (no that's not a misplelling or typo, but yes I will applaud the best penis based dig) but I don't see too many over your side and to be honest I can't be bothered to do one so you will just have to type the number yourselves...
Basically looks like the Fletcher deal is going through and he'll be in red and white by the weekend. As you have all mentioned, £12m is a high fee, but this doesn't necessarily mean you're overpaying: Coloccini cost us £9m but I would still say that was money well spent...So, in his first season, how many goals will be enough for you to stand back and say "Fair play MON, that was money well spent!"?
I'd personally say, judging by your other striking options you'll NEED him to get 10+ to have a good season and I think anything between 10-15 would more than justify his cost...So, what dya reckon?
