Darren Fletcher rumour

[gersandproud]

If the Scotsman article is true (I know - hardly a reliable source) then I'd be a bit disappointed
I just don't think that at 34 and with his best years behind him he'd be worth a punt
IMHO he hasn't been exactly decent for some time & I'm not sure what he's got left ?

 

[robandmundt]

No chance. We've got too many midfielders as it is right now, any we bring in now will have to be someone who instantly becomes first choice pick, we're not gonna bring in a guy who has been dung for a few years now and who'll be on a massive wage, who happens to be a tim

 

[sheddensbear]

A mile ahead of anybody we have. Regular EPL player who could sit in front of back 4 and dictate tempo.

 

[StaunchGer54]

He's done
I'd be raging if we signed him!

 

[Rangerstillidie]

No thanks. Absolutely not interested in Fletcher in anyway being signed.

 

[What's the story]

Wouldn't want this. Questionable fitness. Wrong end of career. Legs r gone.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Hopefully just a rumour?

Strange target if it turns out there is some thing in it.

Regular EPL player for a team who have just been relegated from the EPL

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

FFS just no.

We need hungry young talented players who are not after 1 last pay day. Fletcher has been finished for about 5 years. Add to the fact he’s a mentally challenged aswell it doesn’t make sense at all to bring him in.

 

[Livi Loyal]

Past his best..not required...would be heavy disappointed if we signed him

 

[Oshahoorsir]

Over rated.

Did a job in a good Man Utd team and lived on that reputation since.

No thanks.

 

[roblawson]

Nah. next.

 

[devilman]

Fletcher is still a decent option and I wouldn't have a problem if we took him on - thing is, the wages would need to be sensible.

 

[The Ultimate Warrior]

I would find this pretty bizzare if true and would be asking what the hell formation are we playing next year.

 

[ca100]

I'd be surprised and disappointed if there was any truth in this.

Sinclair went down with Aston Villa. Pissed all over the SPL next season.

 

[Souness86]

Sinclair was 27 when he came up here

 

[DiscoStu]

There is truth in this. Not saying it will happen but the rumour hasn't come from nowhere.

 

[Coplandbear]

No thanks we can do better.

 

[dereksmallsloyal]

Not only is he done, he’s been done for a long time. Even at his best, he was distinctly average. Not for me.

 

[No T in Mikhailichenko]

A few years ago not now.

 

[thornhill bear]

A few years ago maybe, but not now best years very much behind him

 

[im_a_good_bluenose]

Scottish Niko

 

[LiborSionko14]

Fucking hope not.

Never rated him even when he was at his peak at Manchester United.

 

[Maweepaljoe]

No chance. We've got too many midfielders as it is right now, we're not gonna bring in a guy who has been dung for a few years now and who'll be on a massive wage, who happens to be a tim

Genuine question rob. Do you think the midfield players we have now will be what we go into the season with?

 

[Union Jack 1872]

With his health issues I can’t see him playing much longer .

 

[adidasler]

Could imagine him at Aberdeen or Hearts.

 

[StuGers]

No thank you.

 

[Talktalk]

Our new Captain if he comes. Heard that rumour weeks ago and it hasn’t gone away.
He is a good player but not the sort we are needing at the moment.

 

[Davieloyal]

its a no from me

 

[MarkieBR3]

Gerrard knows what is required in the Engine Room, its legs and Energy. Fletcher has neither now.

 

[tumsheeheed]

No never liked him as a player might of played for Man Utd but bang average not the player we need

 

[Inspector Blake]

Never rated him as a player

The Scotsman says "reportedly". Not sure where they might have seen it reported. Surely a load of mince.

 

[burnsblue]

Wish he’d retire so that we stop getting linked with him every window!

 

[Lord Summerisle]

No thanks – never rated him at his so-called best.

 

[jweebear]

Thought he was taking his coaching badges at Man-U, with a view to continue coaching there?

 

[Brasstacks]

Another big punt but vastly experienced and a proven winner. The fact he'd demand high standards of others is a YES from me.

 

[Spinning Blue]

Dear God I hope this is bullshit.

 

[robandmundt]

Genuine question rob. Do you think the midfield players we have now will be what we go into the season with?

Arfield, Jack, Dorrans, McCrorie are all players I'd be putting in ahead of Fletcher. Obviously I wouldn't turn down someone who would immediately become our best midfielder, but that is not DF

 

[Pablo Escobar]

SG said we were heavy in that area that's why Holt was allowed to leave so cannot see it. Never rated the guy in his prime certainly dont want him now

 

[derek5287]

No chance. We've got too many midfielders as it is right now, we're not gonna bring in a guy who has been dung for a few years now and who'll be on a massive wage, who happens to be a tim

We are still looking for another central midfielder.

 

[robandmundt]

We are still looking for another central midfielder.

I worded my post badly, I meant we're not gonna be signing players who don't automatically walk into our midfield given the number we currently have, and Fletcher doesn't.

 

[Andyboyh68]

No Thanks!

 

[oracularspectacular]

take him as a coach and thats about it

 

[Blue-Knows]

Definite no from me. Vastly experienced but most of that surrounded with top quality players.

We've got enough options in central midfield, IMO.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Fletcher's finished. If we're bringing in an older midfielder then make it Davis otherwise we have too many

 

[derek5287]

I worded my post badly, I meant we're not gonna be signing players who don't automatically walk into our midfield given the number we currently have, and Fletcher doesn't.

Yeah I agree with you mate.

 

[Helicopter Sunday]

That's not bad-it took 31 posts before we got the 'he's a mentally challenged' nonsense.

The computer says no
