But the actual time he was fit and able to play didn't remotely reflect the big wages he was on. If he would have accepted £10K a week I'd have happily kept him for another season at least. But he clearly thinks he can do better elsewhere, so best of luck to him. Lets move on. But lets keep Big Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was off it as much as on it. He was flogged in his first season by CC and snapped his MCL shortly after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club needs leaders right now, so it's about time people stopped reminiscing and got cracking on with what needs doing. Always seen Bannan as a target man never understood why no one has noticed this before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Best season in his final year with us but he managed to keep himself injury free abit longer . With him every season hed get 5-6 goals and then get a bad injury and not do much after coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Fletcher’s injury wasn’t the reason we became incapable of basic defending for the last 7 months. Spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0rtherner Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Fletcher turned down a new contract, even just an extension to see out the remainder of the season. What we could've done with a few goals to win some points and taken that points deduction this season to avoid relegation, or what if we'd been relegated now because of that points deduction we got in the end. Nuhiu, Lee, etc. at least saw out the extraordinary season with us, but Fletcher, Fox and Forestieri just packed up at the ordinary end date with 5 matches to go and everything up in the air (exception play offs, despite some players' own beliefs). I don't need us to be reliant on selfish players however poo their contract terms might have been, and honestly, professional footballer contracts are paid LOADS so the fact they chose to go so soon... just nope. He's done here. I'd rather we get Windass and Wickham back and make those work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steer us into safer waters. I guess the agent had something do with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year has been extraordinary for everyone and summer's transfer window is also a different one. To take a contract extension and be a loyal servant to the club for another 4-5 weeks... well, I was disappointed the 3 F's (too lazy to type out their names) didn't even give us that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wages these player took we're astronomical compared to their talent, yet they couldn't repay us with a 6 week contract. Fu.ck em. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I really rated Fletcher (great at linking up play, leading the line, and well respected by other pros and team members) but his weekly wage was an awful lot (considering FFP is such an issue for us) and he is injured far too much and that is only likely to get worse as he gets older. We will miss him, unless our fantastic scouting network can identify an appropriate replacement (!), but it looks like he had to be moved on when you consider everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
