Looks like Sahin to Liverpool according to The Guardian.

German press say Arsenal

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Yeah we'll see. Not too fussed if we lose out. No point getting a player on loan who could become great and then we have to let him go. Also I don't think he is needed really.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

ye reports saying no future fee has been agreed sucks but now they say theres a first option to buy. i hope the hold up has been continued talks. he would add something in my opinion, a lot infact. from what ive read and seen he would be a brilliant addition. the sort of quality that can see us fighting the title contenders instead of CL places.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

The sooner its sorted the better as it seems the player has changed his mind about 5 times already.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Seems Arsenal pulled out, they would have paid about £8 million over the course of the year with the fee and wages and didn't have the option to buy.


Reports say Liverpool will pay £7 million over the course of the season. No right to buy.

yep sure am Den :)

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

£14 million for Fletcher?!

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

all local press saying £12M might be some add on not certain on that though it undisclosed officially by club

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

The structure of transfer fees is nearly always mind-bogglingly complex in this day and age. Depeding on how you manipulate the figures there's always scope for the media to quote whatever figure they want.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

agree and 9 out 10 clubs say fee is undisclosed now too

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Sunderland paying £14 million for Stephen Fletcher and West Ham paying a "club record fee" of £10 million for Matt Jarvis

Suckers :p

I reckon it's probably more that too though, as the Wolves chief exec has hinted that the £24 million they've got for the pair will be spent on new players. I believe Burnley had a sell on clause of 15% for Fletcher.

I'd be worried if I supported Sunderland though. The past two teams Fletcher signed with have been in relegation fights in the premiership, with eventual relegation ;)
