Disco Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 In theory Fletcher is just Bendtner's replacement, so not too much improvement there it's actually only the signing of Johnson that will 'add something'. As with most O'Neill teams due to their ability to play 10 men behind the ball at all times they'll probably be more effective in the cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I suppose the Morlocks would feel the same way about a derby between the above-grounders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Fletcher is pretty bang average imo. As far as SAFC strikers go he is not at the level of Bent or Gyan or have there known goalscoring power. There loanee strikers in recent years are better than him imo I am referring to Bendtner , Wellbeck & Cisse. Fletch may prove to be more consistent than Kenwyne Jones but I don't think Fletcher has them unplayable days that Jones could have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The wankfest is ridiculous They have essentially spent 25m on two players who would be bench players at best for us BTW Bendtner is better than Fletcher for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Bendtner, Gyan, Bent were all better than fletcher, they have went backwards in recent seasons on the striker front, dont understand the hype at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 try Johnson on the left and see if you would still be convinced he would start for us. As for replacing Ben Arfa with him, you would have to be nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose but Bendtner did quite well considering for them last season and i don't see Fletcher contributing many more goals if at all. Johnson would start for us Where exactly? 4-4-2 Jonas would get ahead every time because of he's defensive ability and in 4-3-3 I would pick Ba everytime. If we didn't have Ben Arfa then sure but seeing as we do then i don't see a place for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest James1892 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Where has this belief that they were only 2-3 players away from a team of our quality came from? An extra 5 goals from Fletcher isn't going to make them a fantastic team. Johnson is a good signing but he must be taking Larsson's place. This means they no longer have Larsson's service into the box or his defensive contribution. Johnson plays a Ben Arfa style role and will leave them open for attack down that side.
