HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I want him to stay But I hope he's taking a pay cut We've been down this road too many times paying big wages to people coming to the end of their careers Sign him up yes, but on sensible wages Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Beholder Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 No brainer. One of the best strikers in the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 On his day - i've not seen many better in this league, if any. Hopefully stays away from any major injuries He's as physically fit as any member of the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Out of Hutchinson, FF, Nuhiu, Lee and Fletcher I think we can only keep 1 at the very most. If decide to offer contracts to more then I am looking forward to more posts on Owlstalk about how unlucky we are again with injures and just wait until we get a few players back.

StudentOwl Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 At the beginning of the season it would have been a no from me. But he's one of the few players we've had recently that's seemed to have aged more like a fine wine than vinegar. As long as it isn't a massively long contract and he's happy to take a paycut/alter his salary so he has a lower basic packet and higher appearance and performance bonuses, then I'd be delighted. If we can get a deal that works for both us and him, it'll be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Fletcher when fit had a really good season this year but in the 3 seasons before that he hasn't really pulled up any trees. But I can see the sense in being in talks with him to be here next season. Edited February 28, 2020 by matthefish2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 They've all had spells in and out of the team but his being missing hit us the worst Has to be a no brainer to sign him up....on a reduced terms deal. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I can anticipate tricky contract talks here. Ageing striker having possibly best season of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Not unless it's on massively reduced terms. Paid far too much for the number of games he's fit. Had a good season, but paying silly wages and not getting value is one of the reasons we are up turd creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Signed on a free after we gazumped Norwich offer. So Fletcher is likely one of our higher earners He's having a good season, which will not have gone unnoticed by clubs closer to Prem football, than we are atm So any talk of pay cuts would be silly ... Would be great if we can get him signed up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malek Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I would look to offer him heavy bonus related deal that should bring him as much as he is getting right now or more if he play enough, score as much as we expect from him and help us win games.

Mr Farrell Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 He's family. We must give him at least a 2 year deal on big wages. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It would only be a year so I think two things will determine this: 1. Are we going to change the system when the new players come in? Will we still want a big target man? If so, is Fletcher reliable for a full season? If we are changing the system, would he just take up a place? £20k or so for a bench/impact sub is a lot of money, and can Nuihu do the same job on half this? 2. Irrespective of the FFP case, we need to get back to no more than £13m annual loses. Fletcher knows this and must understand that he would have to reduce his wages, which have contributed to our current position. £20k/week would appear about right, and I would hope we would seriously look at moving Rhodes on, as he looks to be done at Hillsborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) He might want to wait and see what league we are in first, can't see him getting 20k+ a week in league 1 if we get fizzed over.

Neither Nuhiu or Lee are on high wages Think they is a general consensus that the squad has gone stale and by keeping the majority of players who are out of contract we kicking the can down the road another year. Nuhiu getting another contract would be a step in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Nuhiu or Lee are on high wages And I honestly can't remember Nuhiu ever being injured in the 5 years he's been here. I'd give Atdhe a new contract purely because he brings something different. There's nobody out there that I've seen that brings what Atdhe does. I'm sure he won't be demanding mental wages or a starting place every week. If nothing else he seems like a player that the squad is built around off the field. Other players love him and he's got a great attitude. 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
