Steven Fletcher

Just seen he's out for a few months. Massive shame, looked like he was getting back to his best after being pretty crap after leaving Wolves.

I remember his goal against Chelsea on the Turf. Not graceful but he really wanted to score.

Always needed several chances before he eventually scored when he played for us.

Always amazed at his ability to miss a simple chance but score a really difficult one.

Quite a talent.

Has had a very decent career which has lasted a good number of years, one of Scotland's better players of recent times.

I maintain he would have benefitted from a bollocking and orders to stay between the width of the 18 yard box, especially when playing up top on his own

I will die on this hill.

Thought we had made a terrific signing initially but he certainly missed a hell of a lot of good chances. Even so, I thought he would move on to better things but he didn’t really. He just swapped relegation battles to Wolves and then Sunderland.

When I saw the headline I thought someone was going to say he would be a bargain to get back. Very good player in his day though, I was sick when he went to be honest.

Pretty much single handedly kept Wolves up.

He did some chances. His goal against Arsenal should have stood though
