Fletcher with add ons is supposed to be £14m. And McCormack is easily worth £5m banged in 20 goals last season won Leeds games al by himself.

Wouldn't mind a quality striker like Fletcher playing go Ireland! Madness overlooking him because of a fall out as unlike the big nations us smaller nations have to make the most of our resources!

Fletcher should pick up the phone.
Can't blame CL for this one.

The national team irrates me so much. Fair enough even with these players we ain't gonna be world beaters but at least it gives us a chance.

Things are gonna get worse, CL looks like he's gonna fire Mackie into the starting line up for tuesday so we'll have him and Miller running around like headless chickens against Macedonia.

Spot on atheist.
I'm with Levein on this, Fletcher ditched us for no good reason....by text FFS!!!
He gave him plenty of opportunities to get in touch, he didn't, we've moved on.
Would people rather a national coach who went cap in hand to Fletcher basically saying he is bigger than the team?
IMO Fletcher isn't worth anywhere near £14m. He's never had a tremendous record anywhere he's played. I think 12 goals is the most he's had in any season. Ok most of our strikers aren't much better on the stat front, Rhodes aside, but at least they turn up and show interest.
If Fletcher was interested in playing for Scotland he'd be doing just that.
The only people who argue are folk who have hated Levein before he even started and are just looking for another stick to beat him with.
I'm not his biggest fan and if we don't win tomorrow I will probably be moving to the Levein out camp as qualification will be over, and two unsuccessful campaigns are enough for any manager. However he has definitely IMO got the Fletcher situation spot on.
