luckyluke 1 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Heard that Sunderland were sniffing around Berbatov. Didn't he used to idolise nufc/Shearer? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Think he is after a starting slot and not bench warming. Certainly has an eye for goal, not sure how old he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6188 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Think he is after a starting slot and not bench warming. Certainly has an eye for goal, not sure how old he is now. Couldn't see him giving two hoots if playing for Sunderland. Would redefine 'casual'. Of course he won't go there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloopJohn 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 good signing for them, one of the best center backs of recent times imo. even if he's past it he'll still read the game better than most PL defenders. shame he is a grade A cunt.

Toonpack 6870 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 De Jong who blew us out and went to Germany, to get CL football, managed to score an own goal last night that will go a long way to screwing that up (not to mention they got hammered at home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26440 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Sunderland's bid of £12m with possible add-ons worth another £2m for Fletcher has been accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 O'Neill is clueless in the transfer market. Fair play to Wolves for making the most of Sunderland's stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5936 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Stevie ridiculed me 3 months ago when I said I hope Sunderland end up with Fletcher and Holt : I haven't changed my mind btw Hope they don't end up with Johnson but if he does go he can kiss his England career goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He is never going to be a bargain, but a 25 year old banging in 10-12 goals a year for a wolves side - it doesnt strike me as THAT expensive. Obviously its FOTM to laugh at O`neill but sunderland is a better side than Wolves. Could easily see him score 10-15 a year there. With even the bottom teams cashing in a cool 50 mill a year in TV-rights, its neither cheap nor expensive Imo - its the going rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9007 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 see my post fishy deary me rtg seem pleased with it, saying that If he gets 15 goals marra he will be worth the fee - how many people get over 15 these days apart from the real top boys He has never scored 15. Not even is the SPL ffs It's mental that they could think this was anything like a good deal! I don't think it is the going rate LBT. He's not a good striker, he's average. He should be going for £7m not £12m plus add ons. Even if it was £7m up front and £7m in add ons it'd make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Well... I see your point but its a sign of the times perhaps. Plenty of money going around. Even championship players with an ounce of talent are labeled with a 10 million pricetag without having proven anything really... I guess Fletcher isnt excactly messi, what he is though is a proven premier league goalscorer on the right side of 25... Perhaps a more interesting question would be - Is he better than Leon Best?

Tooj 17 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Without a doubt he is better than Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 He is better than best, he won't score 15. A bit like Carroll and Owen, you can't judge if a player was worth the fee until a few years in to the deal really. If he scored 20 a season (he won't) you would think the price fair enough. My thing is I am sure they could have got much more accomplished player for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You get fuck all change back from 10 million in england if you fancy someone half-decent. They could do a whole lot worse. Could have gotten John Carew or Heskey. Id be quite relieved if I was a mackem actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thing is I am sure they could have got much more accomplished player for that price. The problem is that sunderland have absolutely zero pulling power so players wont lift a finger to engineer a move. Aside from Carr you wont find a 20 goals a season striker for 12 million, no way. Im in the minority here I reckon but I think he is about the best they could realistically hope for ( aside from Llorente). Gyan on song is better no doubt but we all know how that went.
