Happy Days. Let's see how good Jez is at negotiating, may be asking for a buy back clause to be inserted when Stoke or Sunderland are relegated.

I hope you stay with us, It'll be sad to see you go Fletch, but do yourself a favour forget about going to Stoke.

If u want decent Premier League football, Stoke is not the place.

A proven premiership goal scorer, theres nobody better in the league for scoring goals with his head either. 12 million at least.

Ok, fine fletcher goes, bit sad. But is the router ed £10m fee going 2 b spent on new players, I e defence ? I doubt it personally !

When the comparisions with Bent and Carroll are shown. £10m appears far too cheap!

Three years left on contract, no club debt, a much valued player by the fans. If he must go, then clubs like Sunderland to whom he would prove a massive asset must be made to pay far, far more than £10m.

Just by the way, todays pasty is in the aga as I write.

Up The Wolves

Under current prices Fletch must be worth 15M with his track record, £££££££ signs will be flashing past Jes Moxys eyes. Pay him his premier wages to keep him here that will be worth 30M back in the promise land.

As the report states Wolves have no debt and he has 3 years left on his contract so there is no need to sell. If one of the top Premier clubs made a big offer who could blame Fletch for wanting to go but Stoke/Sunderland I don't think so....paper talk again

It will be a sad ady if he goes. Does he want to leave or stay with us? I do hope he stays put. We will be a fearsome team once Staale has sorted the defence wheat from chaff and brought in quality defenders who can play and know what they are doing other then falling over or turning up for training hammered!

We will return!

UTW.

dont want him to go but think he will. its not helped by the fact that his best mates at the club are roger johnson and jamie ohara, who will both be off as well, when RJ was getting booed at wigan last season fletch looked at the wolves fans shook his head a few times and walked off. if we can get 10 mil plus we should be happy, hopefully stoke and sunderland will get into a bidding war! i have heard on the grapevine as well by someone who works at villa that they are interested as well.

I understand if he goes, he is without doubt one of the best strikers out there at the moment I'd have him over Bent or Carrol any day. Is 10million enough? Put him in a decent team and watch him improve his goal to game ratio. Crying shame and a result of relagation which was down to overall poor management. Hope he stays and fires us straight back into the EPL.

Please explain what you mean by "understood"?

Sounds like The Express & Star are making a good effort to sell Steven Fletcher!

We have to be canny here, look at how much villa banked last season for 2 greatly overrated players £40m. I have no problem with him going he owes us no loyalty and doesn't want to play in the championship, who can blame him. I wish him well but get £10m at least.

Provided the money for fletcher and jarvis, if we sell them, goes towards bringing players in then ok. They have both done well for wolves and I'd wish them well whoever they went to. The sooner we start shipping out the players at the other end of the scale the better, edwards, stearman, elokobi, Johnson the players who have under achieved. We need to make way for our youth players, they showed last season that they are ready and want to play for wolves. UTW.

Why sell him?. OK, if he wants to go then suggest increasing his salary to keep him here. I don't think he has asked to leave and in any case surely his contract should keep him with us. I am confident that our new manager will get us back in the top league at the end of the coming season.

I just wonder though whether our two top management team, ie the 2 M's, have got the guts to turn down 10 - 15 million for him.

Be extremely lucky to get their money back!!

Got to be 12 million or nothing! But Fletcher will always be a wolf

What is the appeal of Stoke for everybody? There's nothing to do there if you don't like darts or pottery museums! Wolverhampton has the Newhampton, why would anyone want to leave? Apart from the whole relegation thing, I mean.

I have always defended Moxey as he is only doing the job he is told to do. However I'm getting pretty sick of the spin.

What has happened to the root and branch explanation for last season debacle?

Dread starting the season with back Four.

Foley, Berra, Stearman, Ward.

Need to fall back in love with the Wolves, need new ideas.

He should stay simple as that, if he was really all that then he would have scored more than 12 last season and helped keep us up, but another player who has been relegated twice in 3 seasons gets rated at £10mil?? Show some loyalty fletcher, put the jagerbombs down and get fit for next season in the championship where you should shine very brightly, and help get us back up!

With Fletcher and Crouch in the team Stoke won't play much football on the ground !!!

If anything it will be a year loan and sell on after failed promotion clause which seems to be a growing trend amongst relegated clubs.

That said Fletch seems to be happy here and Wolves don't really need to sell. Even at £10mil we'll still need to sign back a striker of this level when/if we get promoted again. So its better to ride the storm until then.

If anyone goes it'll probably be Doyle who doesn't seem quite as happy to be here.

Also SEB will probably want to go if both Fletch and Doyle stay. I doubt he'd want a 4th season as 3rd choice especially not in the championship.

Why sell him?

Unless crazy money of around £20 million what is the point?

He is under contract for several years and we do not, apparently, need to sell. He's got time on his side so he can afford a year in the Championship

If we are really serious about bouncing back quickly we shouldn't sell our best players.

The stats quoted on here are misleading, as they are not starts. His goal per game record for Wolves based on starts is up there with the best in the league. All these clubs can sniff round Fletcher and Jarvis but they will not get them on the cheap. I reckon we will get a minimum £20m from the sales of Fletcher, Jarvis and O'Hara but might get more? What we must do is sign at least one centre half, a left back, a creative midfielder and quality striker!

10m is cheap when you look at bent and Carroll and he has out scored them both so jez we want 40m at least but I wouldn't let him go if he has not asked to go anywhere

This is all just speculation of course. In fact we're just waiting for Mick to get the Real Madrid job, then not only will he swoop for his old backroom staff (thereby saving us us from the faff of having to sack them - cunning eh?), he'll then go on to bid £200,000,000 for Fletch and Jarvo! I'm so good at this CEO lark that sometimes I scare myself, I really do.

I am sure if they tried really hard in the picture library a less flattering image could be found of Steven Fletcher.

Though maybe it is this which is putting off other clubs making offers.

Up The Wolves

10m is a joke with his record, 15m and a sell-on clause or don't sell him!

The problem is our defence we need to sell Berra, Johnson and Ward. Danny Batth, Mouyokolo, a new centre back and left back.

Apart from that we are good enough to come straight back up.

We don't need to sell him... I'd love it if he turned around and said "I'm staying"

Bad business this?

If we are serious about going straight back-up, how much will a forward of Fletcher's calibre cost us this time next year.

Playing another season in a relegation threatened team (Stoke,Sunderland & Villa)is not a good prospect for the player.

I think we should retain his services,get about 25+ goals out of him in the Championship in a winning campaign, then both the club and the player will be better for the experience.

Stoke is not a career move without doubt.Fetcher and Jarvis cannot be bamed if a Premiereship club comes in for them but,Stoke,no way.I honestly hope they decide to give Stale and the club one season at least and get us out of the fizzy pop eague at the first attempt.

I would have hoped our so called big players would have given us one more season, as they owe the supporters that much. But if he or his agent force the issue, then sell him for a minimum of £10M plus Kenwynne Jones.

Fletcher and Jarvis should stay if they cant go to a bigger club than the likes of Stoke or Sunderland. Surely its better to be in a team looking for promotion than being in a relegation battle again.

Whats the betting the next E & S headline about Wolves will be "Moxey says there has been no contact with any club over the transfer of Fletcher". Just like the headline about Stoke and Jarvis. It would make me very happy, if this is indeed the case (no contact with anyone about Fletcher that is!).

I thought we didn't need to sell the clubs assets.

How much would it cost to get a replacement for Fletcher (as good as he is)......

I thought the club were building for the future, well selling a 25 year old striker who is at the top of his game is in no way a positive move.

It's obvious from the change in direction report & the the report that the back room staff are staying that Moxey is once again pulling the strings around the team & coaching staff.

Stale won't be here long once he gets a clearer picture of Moxey & the way he works.

If there is no need to sell him then why are we selling him?

Sell him for £12/£13Mil and go all ends up to sign Lafferty from Rangers who can be signed on a Free as he hasnt transferred his contract to new rangers!

That way we will have made at least and 80%profit on him and get a decent signing to boot.

Jarvis- £6-£7m pound as we only paid peanuts for him... and we have got Hamill, Hunt, Kights, Nouble, Gorman, Ishmail all able to play wide.

This then puts together a transfer kitty for Stale to build a defence although i still think the answer lies with Danny Gabbidon or Fitz Hall along with Danny Bathh- Failing that we could always wipe the slate clean with Roger Johnson... If he came good he would help develop Bathhs game in my opinion!

No16 - you would let him go for nothing?

We won't need Fletch when we go back up @spanishray, we'll have Siggy .... and Nouble!

It would be very shortsighted of Wolves to sell our two best players for short term profit when if we get promoted next year we would have to replace with similar and pay more.

all this talk about fletcher if hes that good why havnt any of the top clubs been after him .stoke, sunderland.what a laugh .how would anyone want to play there.

Why do people continually mention Carroll's price when everybody knows it was ridiculous? He's worth 10 at the most and sorry wolves but wake up you never will achieve anything thats why he will leave.. lack of debt matches your ambition to be honest

Considering Fletcher took such a stance on playing for Scotland, I find it quite hard to understand where these stories come from. I feel he will stay unless Wolves force his hand and to go to Stoke..............Have you been there?

Stoke will win the premier next year if they sign him with all the long throws going into a box imagine watching that every week, fletcher will forget how to kick the ball.

p.s take johnson with you as part of the deal!

If we sell him for £10m, its the perfect exampe of why Young n Hungry is not a workable strategy

- We pay £7mil from a Relegated, small 'one season' Prem club

- He proves himself over 2 further Seasons in a Poor side

- He is 25 and has a Long Contract

- TV income(by 2013/14) has risen by 33% for Prem clubs

- A Young and Hungry Policy inolves lots of inevetable 'Misses'and 'Losses as ultimately You are speculating on 'Potential' rather than Proven talent

If You end up selling Your Best Centre Forward for a 33% Profit(Zero Per Cent in Real Terms), when he has his best Years ahead of Him, then it is not a Strategy.

Well Stoke.....Cameron Jerome useless for £4m,or Peter Crouch £10m with no resale value.

Steven Fletcher £10m.. Your'e avin a laugh

Nice to see E&S putting positive spin on this and backing wolves rarther than doom and gloom and going on the cheap

the later starts of some crazy "freak out" posting on here - funniliy enough with the stuff thats been put into this article :)

ironic!!!!

Up the wolves

Let's be realistic. Fletch doesn't need to move to preserve an international place (and in the case of Jarvis, if he want's to get one there is no championship next summer so he can afford a season) What it comes down to is a mix of career ambition, personal ambition, money and loyalty. On the personal and professional ambiton front, unless it is a Top 4 challenger there are no clubs with better facilities and home crowds. Loyalty? Hard to te although he wouldn't have been impressed at how we treated his mate Roger at Wigan won't have have helped whether deserved or not. Then there is money......

If he goes for £15m, he goes to a £15m player's salary. If we turn down that cash and he stays,it will be because we upped his contract to match it. It comes down to this - do we as a club want to break our wage structure and pay £60-70 per week? Not saying we should wither way, but that is the slippery slope that those of us who remember what it is like to actually need a new stand fear.

On thing is for certain, if we are going to do that we need a smaller sqad of better players, not 4 also-rans in every positon...

I do't want Fletcher to leave and im sure all Wolves fans don't either.

Considering how talented both Fletcher and Jarvis are, it is disgracful that we were relegated.

I still want to know why was Mick allowed to run this team for so long, when it was so obvious to all that we were the worst defending team in the league for our 3 year duration.

Moxey & Morgan can not be trusted to run this club, when there obvious lack of football knowledge led to there hesitancy in sacking Mick.

And then to appoint Terry Connor.............!!

I know we've all gone through this many times, but im still hurting from it and I would like to hear an admittance from Moxey & Morgan that they got it wrong and why they made such huge mistakes in allowing our Premiership status embarrassingly disappear in front of our eyes.

Im not happy at all and I will not be going to another Wolves game until the board start to show a much more ambitious and calculated approach to running Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Keeping Fletch & Jarvis would be a good start, so pay em what they want.

I guarantee WWFC will not get £10mill, £7 mill maybe at a push. Yes he is a good finisher but his form drastically dropped towards the end of the season. The fact that Wolves were soooooo poor as well is going to majorly effect the kind of transfer fees they can expect to bring in. Fans must be more realistic, Wolves are a Championship club who have been punching above their weight

What an absolute joke comparing Fletcher to Bent and Carroll!!!

"Fletcher outscored both last season – and for a relegated team – with 12 goals from his 32 league appearances including seven headers, more than anyone in the Premier League."

Carroll scoring 4 goals from 29 starts, granted. But when you consider his partner Suarez only scored 10 goals from 28 starts, you see where Liverpools problems were coming from! And as for comparing Bents stats to Fletchers, do me a favour! 10 goals from 24 starts in an underachieving team, not a struggling team!

Stupid comparison when you compare Fletcher to Bent. I'd back Bent to outscore Fletcher over 38 games compared to 46 games anytime!

Gone are the days of player loyalty I remember when a certain Steve bull could of gone to a bigger club but wolves were in his heart and he stayed surely we deserve some loyalty ?

I'm not too sure that there is much substance to this story.

There is nothing mentioned on the Stoke Sentinel (local newspaper) website about any enquiry for Fletcher by Tony Pulis.

Why would anyone at Molineux tell the E & S about an enquiry for any of the players? It's well known that Jez Moxey keeps all such matters very close to his chest.

And another thing, where does this £10m valuation come from? I rather doubt that Moxey has stuck a "For Sale £10m" label on Fletchers forehead.

Whether or not Fletcher or Jarvis will be sold will largely depend on their attitude about staying with the club or wanting to leave. Neither, as far as I'm aware, have voiced their desire to leave.

Hypothetically, we get offered £14m for Fletch. He says he is happy to stay for another season, what will M&M do? I hope they decline the offer and put promotion first. Interesting dilemma.

I am just waiting for the Express and star to announce that Solbakken is happy to work with Connor has is number two.

Blah Blah Blah

Why don't we ever learn ?

Oh well we will win more games in the championship and some fans will be fooled yet again.

Nice stand thou :)

In the current market Fletch should fetch £20m

48chard83

you are a plank, some facts for you

Fletch cost Wolves £7.5m and he has proven over the last 2 seasons he can score at prem level in a poor team

Fletch is still young

Fletch is British

Fletch is on a long term contract

Wolves dont need to seel to balance the books.

with all the above how do you get to us losing 1/2 on what we paid for him?

I know u must be a boggie but please think before you type in future

Think the new kid from Lillestrom is probably the new Fletcher. He looks good from what I've seen.

Get top dollar for F and J and use the money for defence and midfield, SEB and Doyle are adequate for rampaging through the Championship. See previous seasons DVD for proof (43 goals between them). If we can hang on to Jarvis and Fletcher then that's great, if not get a good price 18m for the 2 should suffice and use the majority of the money for team rebuilding. Plus get shut of Johnson for whatever we can get and maybe O'Hara for a few million and we've got the basis of a good amount of cash to spend quickly rebuilding. Plus TV money. Amen brothers. Job is a goodun.

The Clash recorded a song called "Should I Stay or Should I Go" in the early 80s. That's all I know about it.

Not sure which tune Fletch is singing, but I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

48) Let me guess... you are not a Steptoe are you? Of course Fletcher is worth far more than £7m. Furthermore, I would be very worried next season as you will definitely be in a relegation fight. Steve Clarke = desperation. You should have paid the compo for Hughton!

We should put a bid in.Could be of use, comming of the bench for the last 10 minutes.

having read those facts about fletcher, it seems obvious that 10 million is'nt enough. if he can score goals for the likes of us and burnley, then surely he would do even better at a mid table prem club. we must ask for either 15 million or failing that, 10-12 million with a sell-on clause.if he goes to stoke and scores 15-20 goals next season, his value will rocket up to something similar to bent and carrolls price tag, and this time next year he'd still be only 26. the othe big big selling point which has'nt been mentioned is that he refuses to play for his country, so theres no risk of him getting fatigued or injured during the international breaks....

SOME OF YOU NEED TO GET IT INTO YOUR HEADS THAT WE ARE NOT A FEEDER CLUB YET !!! Why are you even posting on here Fletch,s value and what could be done with the wonga when it comes in ? We do not need to sell and if the scouser is such a good builder then he should get a quality team around him instead of lookin to replace him. Replace him is probably the wrong phrase because with what we would want to spend we simply couldn't.

How would you feel if the scouser was on the news when you were sat down with your egg and chips on your lap and he said" Stephen Fletcher is not for sale at any price". It would be a massive statement of intent from the very top and not just another load of spin from Foghorn Leghorn , you never know, it could even get the season ticket count up!! The bottom line is that if you are ambitious you don't sell your leading goal scorer. The sooner we all get that in our heads the better.

Au revoir our kid...

Your all talking like it's upto Wolves to sell or not... We all know when a player wants to leave there is nothing the club can do to stop it. Why pay huge wages for someone who wont be there mentally and putitng in the performances. Fletch and Jarvis will go and they need to for there careers, and I would hate to see either one in a Stoke shirt! they are better than that. Lescott to Man City via Everton yes but he got where he belongs in the end. It's a shame all the news is round the stirke force (in and out) Defence is in need of some sttention, they are keeping their heads down! O'hara has gone off the radar to....

<3 U KT

Ive heard from two very good sources Fletcher doesn.t want to go, he wants to stay and help get us promoted.But we all know the fat controller has got other ideas.££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

Hilarious! Who are these people who set the price for players? All we ever read is "the £10m rated Fletcher" or the "£6m rated Jarvis" but says WHO??? Lets get real here and do not make the usual mistake of underselling our players. Based on what other players are bought and sold for and given Fletcher's age and his Premiership scoring record the bidding should START at a MINIMUM of £15m and we ought to be holding out for £20m not a derisory £10m. With Jarvis - remember what Downing cost Liverpool? - the bidding should START at a MINIMUM of £12m and we should be holding out for £15m not the derisory £4m that the porn king chancers of old London Town reportedly offered. If Clubs want them then they pay the going rate or we do not sell. (Hope Moxey is listening!)

Lets sell him for £25 million - and re-build the Steve Bull with the money

I have heard Kenwyne Jones is going to be going the other way. Double deal Jarvis & Fletcher to Stoke. Jones to Wolves with Stoke paying around 10 million

none of the players have said thay wont out so put the top players back on premier wages or put a price to high that will keep the so called big clubs away,be strong wolves and ask for stupid money

If Wolves are looking to bounce back straight away,surely we should try to keep our best two players. The club says they will not go cheaply, so at least put 20m price tags on both Fletcher and Jarvis. When Henderson went for 20m and that donkey at Liverpool cost 35m we could at least try and hold out for an offer the club couldnt refuse. I just hope the managers sees that after that we are really thin on the ground and doesnt let Mr Connor have to much influence.Lets hope the gaffer is worth his salt and turns this place round - I dont think I could take another season from the old brigage.Come on Wolves show us you mean buisness

I think the best solution for the wolves would be to loan Flech out to a premier league side for one season, then when U fail to get promotion u can sell him for a lot more because he is sure to score a hell of a lot more goals for a proper prem side.

Boing Boing!!!!!

we need to keep him at all costs, without him think our new look strike force is far from fearful. And if anyone believes for a minute the more we get for him the more will be spent on rebuilding the rest of the team "I DOUBT IT VERY MUCH" as for jarvis "SHOW ME THE MONEY"

Please don't get selling us your relegation foddered rubbish. Look where they took you lot

got it from a good sourse,Fletch dont want to leave, he wants to do the decent think! STAY AND GET US PROMOTED.But we all know what the fat controller will want,£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

Fletcher

Stoke can have him for £6m of he takes Johnson with him!!!

Seriously though both Fletch & Jarvis will go, unfortunately.

But this is where Moxey should come in useful i think we should see the coffers swell by at least £20m for these 2.

I wish them both all the best for the future & don't blame them for wanting to stay in the Prem & if we get £20 m for them that will represent an approx £13.5m profit, which ever way you look at it, that can't be bad business.

Albion :)

Fletcher is too good for you

You cant afford to lace his boots

Your Owner doentnt like spending the profits

You are A proven yoyo club

Go away comment on your players wanting to leave you not so ambitious club

59, you can't afford him not now you have blown your transfer budget on Foster, and even if you had not signed Foster you still could'nt afford him.

Lets all keep our fingers crossed Fletch stays.

What do need is Stoke to offer us 10 bob for our irish version of Ballotelli,namely Doylotelli and for an extra 5 bob sling them Berra,Stearman,Ward.

Fletch is brillant and we do,nt need to sell,he,s out scored bent and carrol and i would,nt dream of even listening to offers of less than 30 million, just because he plays for little old wolves some other clubs think they can take the p... and get him cheap

If he goes, he will be a great loss. Where will we get another like him from? Decent strikers at reasonable prices are so difficult to come by. Let's face it, if you get one - it isn't long before other clubs come sniffing around, as is now the case with Fletch.

@ 48 - I love these people who come on here saying they can "guarantee" things. Who are they? What are their credentials that they can guarantee anything?

@ 59 - You are disrespectful, sir. Not funny at all. By the way, that word you used only has one "m".

Championship club selling its best players. Thats the reality boys. You've got a lot of work to do to get back, and need to buy well. Let's see what Stale can do if he is in control of recruitment. Looks a big task for someone who is new in England. Success would be the play offs this year. Promotion is looking like a real punt already, but hey who cares.

stoke don't want the plank keep him at wolves in the championship where they belong

Jarvis for £6 million, jog on! I think he's a better player than Fletcher, he's our main creator. He's worth £8 million, no less. We shouldn't be letting our best players go on the cheap!

Solent. Re your comment on post 59.

It is obvious it is Jack the Plonker again. His spelling, grammar always gives him away I just don't know why he bothers really. Having said the what do you expect from the dark side when they posts using names like ASTLE IS THE KING. DOH!!!!!!

no disrepct to fletcher or jarvis but why would we need or want you at stoke,as for the 20mill being quoted stoke would be better bidding for adam johnson and maybe clint dempsey
