I can understand why you're working at a burger bar and yes, Fletch is way better at his job than you.[LNB]- Johneboywolves, Lichfield, 08/8/2012 04:34[LNB]Click to rate Rating (0)Report abuse[LNB]Nick, if you don't want him its simple, don't go for him! Some facts are needed though. Firstly, besides this site where has it been mentioned that Wolves have accepted ANY bid. Secondly, Wolves, unlike Sunderland and the huge majority of other clubs in England have NO debt and are in no NEED to sell, and thirdly as a Wolves supporter 15 million for Fletcher is cheap.[LNB]- John, Australia, 08/8/2012 04:31[LNB]Click to rate Rating (0)Report abuse[LNB]In a world where this guy is worth £15 million, I'm going to ask my supervisor (at McDonalds) for a raise... to £45,000. A fraction of what he'll earn, but I reckon I'm better at my job than he is.[LNB]- Nick , Kent, 08/8/2012 00:57[LNB]Click to rate Rating 10Report abuse[LNB]Surely this has to be a wind up! £15million for a former Scotland striker?!?! Kevin Kyle is a former Scotland striker but you wouldn't pay £15 for him. Absolutely ridiculous, hate to say it but looking at our fire power and lack of ability to buy any recognised goal scorers it's going to be another long season up here on wearside![LNB]- Gareth1985, Darlington, England, 07/8/2012 22:40[LNB]Click to rate Rating (0)Report abuse[LNB]This is good for Sunderland if we get someone like him. He's good in the air and will get service from Mcclean and Larsson as well as Sessengeon. I think he'll bag more than 15 goals next season. Fact is, we had to spend big. There's no way around it.[LNB]- Ian, United Kingdom, 07/8/2012 22:07[LNB]Click to rate Rating (0)Report abuse[LNB]Where's your source of fact?
