Wolves reject a £5m bid from Sunderland for Steven fletcher

[Lmc2105]

How much did wolves get him for? Vastly improved since then, just the kind of striker sunderland have been crying out for!

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Burnley paid £3m
Wolves paid £6m
Sunderland to pay...

[Judas Iscariot]

He'll go for around 8

In a team with good wingers and people who can deliver a ball (eg Larsson), Fletcher could score plenty of goals. I know Wolves got relegated, but £5 millions a bit cheeky for a player they spent £6-7 million on 2 years ago. Hes improved since then and has established himself as a solid Premiership striker.

[Just_Jimmy]

I think wolves paid 7.5m.

[Diclonius]

Good. Don't want him anywhere near the Mackems.

[Stevie Reid]

I said that after Wolves got relegated that it would be interesting to see how far up the Premiership he got this time. Sunderland would be a great move for him.

[Iceman1875]

Surely Steven fletcher could aim higher than Sunderland in the premier league? I don't think he would look out of place in a top 6 premiership team...

I think he will get there eventually.

If your going to sign for a north east club it would have to be Newcastle.

[Just_Jimmy]

Newcastle wont pay that kind of money for a squad player. They are in talks for luke de jong, still have cisse and ba as well as ameobi, best (going).

Sunderland chuck money about, fletch is a good player but there is no way in this world he's worth 9million ish considering newcastle paid 9m for cisse.

36 goals in 82 starts whilst playing for relegated Premiership clubs - he's easily worth that much.

[Just_Jimmy]

Fletch is a good player. I think hes got a bit to go before id be paying 9m for him tho. In this climate which top sides would pay that money and give him game time?

Hed be a great fit for everton but they dont have the cash. I also think hed be a good signing or liverpool but they have invested to much in carrol and suarez.

I think sunderland may be the only club that would be willing to pay the cash and give him playing time. I hope not tho.

[SMAXXA]

Get your cash on sunderland getting relegated if he goes there.......he's a bogey I'm telling you lol

That would be no bad thing - a big club with a very good manager.

His scoring ratio in the EPL is excellent, easily worth £9M in that environment - plus, given that Wolves paid £7M for him and he's been a success, they're hardly likely to sell for less.

Hence i brought the 9m valuation up. Sunderland wouldnt be a bad fit but i dont want to not like fletch so i hope not.

SF Is easily worth 9 million in today's market, When you think of huddies like Andy Carroll going for 35 million SF is a snip.

That probably makes him more valuable.

More rest time and less chance of gettin injured on international football. However, probably gives him more time to down jagers the way he's always going on on twitter!

[givescotlandfreedom]

Do we have a clause to get more dosh on all future transfers or just the first one?

Would that be the same Newcastle that paid £7mm for Carl Cort 12 years ago?? There are dozens of examples of players who couldn't lace Fletch's boots who've gone for £7mm + in the last decade. I think Wolves will get close on £10mm for Fletch though I agree your general thoughts that Sunderland are the most obvious purchasers.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Was hoping The Hammers might've put in a bid for him.

£5m is laughable. He'll go for double that

I'd love to see this but the only way it would happen is if Mr SportsDirect/shrewd.businessman.com gets a good offer for one of his Senegal lads and needs a replacemet

[Spike Mandela]

Good player but Premier League jinx. Every team he plays for gets relegated.
