    Steven Fletcher

    On his way to Marseille. About time he got a move to a big club. Hope it all works out for him!

    Didn't see that one coming. Good luck to him though, could be a great move for him and for the national side if it goes well.

    Completely surprised by this, might get some abuse for this but....I thought his career was on a downward slope, he's been terrible for scotland and hardly doing anything down south.

    As a ex hibee and a good lad I wish him all the best.

    I can't believe more Scots players don't try to make it abroad.

    I'd love to have a stint at a club like Marseille, imagine living in the South of France? Lovely.

    Good for him for taking the plunge and going for it.

    I didn't think he was at his best against Germany (the World Cup holders) and can't remember if he played in the Georgia debacle but for someone who has been struggling to get a game for his club side I thought he was largely excellent for Scotland in the most recent campaign.

    Yeah he played against Georgia and was horrible. As you say he's been struggling to get a game at club level so maybe shouldn't have been played by Strachan. Good luck to him as someone else said his agent is doing a cracking job.

    I think it is fair to say he wasnt the only one that game.

    Tartan army love to have a scapegoat and they picked Fletcher for the last campaign despite his 7 goals (out of Scotland's 22 scored). Also disagree with the part in bold http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...-spits-3036626

    Gross.

    On a related note my missus was gobbed on in the face by a rickshaw driver in London on a hen do. (Arguing over the fair which seemed outrageously high). A tramp saw the incident and waded in to protect the ladies. The ***** of a rickshaw driver proceeded to slap the tramp around. The karma kicks in when a group of lads having seen the commotion then swing the tramp getting a slap rushed in smacked the dirty bar steward rickshaw driver to the ground and trashed his rickshaw.

    Was fuming when I heard about this, but felt better for the good Samaritans, especially the tramp. Funnily enough the girls have the tramp more money that they were arguing with the driver in the first place.

    How many were against Gibraltar?
    With regards to him being a good lad,I just took him at face value as we used to go out drinking quite a lot together when he was at us.

    One of the only guys in our "golden generation" that didn't race down the M8 when the OF came calling, he had more ambition. Stuck in at hibs, worked hard, listened to the right people clearly and he's made a good career for himself.

    Well done Fletch, all the best to you!

    Really?

    I remember him not being happy that the move never went through but I don't think he spat the dummy for long.

    He moved at the right time, there was nothing else that he could have learned/ achieved with us.

    I was happy to see him move at the right time, for a decent fee, to a club who could enhance his career.



    He'd have to do a lot worse than that for me to say **** him about a guy who came through our youth ranks and scored 2 goals in a winning cup final for us.

    Agree with all that.

    The Celtic move that never happened was an unfortunate episode, but it shouldn't cloud all he did with us. Good luck to him, always liked him as a player.

    This wasnt how i remember Fletch behaving so i checked. He scored 5 goals in the final 14 games after asking Hibs to sell him in in late January, which is a decent return. He was also being played in a wide midfield position which I recall he wasnt happy about.

    Sorry if it has already been mentioned but do Hibs still get a cut on his transfers or is that long gone / no clause ever existed?
