Fergie will never let him go, not just because he is a valuable squad player that is ever reliable. A lot of people seem to forget about UEFA’s “home grown” rule that requires every club to have a certain amount of player brought up by the club/ from the club’s nation, etc etc.

bench ok for him….but he was to go reluctantly…8 mill to 10 mill..pref 10 would do it

just please leave the club. look at how we have to replace him and how easy it could be to sign someone else like him. whats this “hes a big game player”. if he cant make the selection against weaker opposition what chance does he have ion the big stage. we have 5 central midfield players id rather play ahead of him and we can field 2 at a time.

I like the way he steps up a gear on the big matches unlike cristiano. I remember the goal against chelsea and the ac milan (3-2), roma (7-1), arsenal (4-2 and 4-0). We shouldn’t even think about selling a valuable sqiad player.

Its not a matter of how much, but we shouldn’t even sell him at all. He’s one of our utility players like O’Shea and we need players like him, Fergie has come out in the press to praise him, so i don’t think we’re planning to sell.

All the Fletch haters out there getting all happy about a paltry 4 mill bid from Everton, you really do live on a diet of The Sun/The Mirror/Teletext sports media don’t you?? Effin hell, get your heads out of your b-holes and get a grip- Manchester United FC is not the institution it is today for the want of having ‘superstar’ players in every position, it is for having the character and depth of squad, skill and versatility in players and style of football on the pitch as well as conduct off the pitch. There is a serious lack of respect for the likes of Fletch/O’Shea/Wesley and I think it is condoned by far too many of the Manc faithful(glory hunting numb nuts).
I’d like to hear Scott’s explicit opinion either way in this matter- no an answer to the following question- Doesn’t it pee you off, folks coming up on your blog belittling the players mentioned? I understand it’s a matter of opinion and the whole point of blogging is to entertain ping pong posts but surely the lack of appreciation and understanding of what these players have done for the club, in big games or otherwise, individual and team contributions, their cult hero status and what they continue to offer the club irks you some? Or is it that you’re happy as long as there is website traffic and keeping a dignified silence encourages further uninhibited venting of spleen from the not so righteous amongst us?

Fletch is a good player to have in the squad. For now some may think he wont get too much chances but remember Anderson is going to the olympics for almoust a month and also Scholes isnt getting younger. After Scholes retires we will have 4 midfielders only, if we let Fletch go we will need to sign one midfielder again.

He has matured since a couple of seasons and its gonna get more time of play, he may not be a starter in our team but we surely need him. He is 24 and has a lot of experience in the scottish team also.

Hopefully not but you couldn’t blame him, eh? I think Fletch does have the chance to grow in the next few years.

You see the rave reviews Barry gets, he did fuck all for years (though did play regularly) I hope Fletch sticks it out. He is a great part of our squad.

does that mean only 3% of our fans are idiots?
i,d really like to believe that but i reckon its a lot higher judging by some of the moronic posts iv read on various sites the last few years!
p.s. hope he stays as i dont think his case is like nevilles. neville was older for a start but i also believe fletch has the potential to be a carrick, barry, hargreaves type player when hes older. if he,d played regularly for the last 4 or 5 yrs maybe he,d be at their level or somewhere near by now?

Fantastic? Please! Fletch is a good player and nothing more, he will never be good enough to command a regular starting place at United and will hold up the development of somebody with true talent, i.e. Possebon, by blocking his path into the first team squad. For all this talk of Fletch being a big game player he didn’t get a look in against Chelsea (league and CL) and others are far ahead of him – if Fletch starts more games than Anderson or Hargreaves (injuries withstanding) something is badly wrong at OT.

Fletch would find his level at the likes of Everton just like P Neville did.
