He's decent, but people go way overboard about him. We'll sign him or we won't. Either way my reaction will be "meh".

Tbh Fletcher would be perfect for us and I couldn't see a team better than us being in for him at the moment, for a few reasons. I very much doubt he'd turn us down.

Cabbage bang on again. Wholeheartedly agree

unless he's heard through the grapevine that we aren't paying big bucks anymore and thinks he can get more dosh somewhere else

Apparently Vorn said he wasn't coming. Still think we'll get him

Whilst I'd agree that he is unlikely to get a better offer than one from SAFC, I'm not sure I'd say that he's 'perfect' for us Perry. He's a decent option and looks to be solid in most areas. However, he presents no obvious threat in behind a defence. That would mean playing up to him and hoping runners can join him. He also doesn't have much of a record of scoring goals from nothing meaning that in games where our creative types are struggling to get a foothold he won't provide much for defences to worry about.

Personally I'd prefer someone with a bit more pace and power leading our line to help broaden the range of our counter attacking game. I can't help but think that £10m spent abroad could get us a better striker than Fletcher. He's not the worst option by a long way but he most certainly isn't the best.

"Sunderland targets Steven Fletcher and Kevin Davies have both indicated they might stay at their current clubs next season, ruling out possible moves to Wearside"

full of quotes, people shouldn't start slagging players off from sportsmail rumours may still happen

he'd be decent and cheapish
