Fletcher wanted out. He didn't want to wear our shirt. It was the right decision.

that's player power. it is why odemwingie drove himself at 100mph to flee the baggies and why lukaku has pleaded with benitez to rescue him from another season on loan at the birmingham bus-stop. when sides go down, some players roll up their sleeves to fight their way back up and some make it clear they won't. happens at all clubs and was the reason we got fletcher in the first place.

Fairymouse. Come back when Peace gets £15m for Odemwingie.

He could have done a Berra & just got on with it...and if he had we'd have done well enough for Stale to still be in a job. Tricky one though cause he could also have stuck to 'principles' & opted out like he did with Scotland.

Its a moral dilemma...cause no one wants to have to tolerate players who want away, but look where we are without them.

Fletcher wanted to go and #15m was a great price. The combined #25 million for Fletch and Jarvis has not been spent wisely by the Scandinavian Frankenstein unfortunately.

With the exception of Sako; the rest have been complete dross!

Nah I think I'll stick around for a while Pundito. As my esteemed colleague Terry might say, if Carlsberg made football rivalries...
