suffering from ulcerative colitis (a chronic inflammatory bowel condition)

pity, get well soon. We are going to miss you a lot Darren

oh shiat ....

Another midfield blow... soon transfer talks goin to start again, need creative midfielder and so on... I am sure the squad can handle the latest blow

Oh my God Fletchinho ;_;

Oh god, we are short of midfielders already..

Correct me if i'm wrong, we only have carrick, giggs, gibbo, left for center midfield...others like park, jones, young, rooney & nani as 'slot ins'.

Ok, now we really need a midfield player..

get well soon Fletch....

promote internally...give pogba some play time..since he is not signing new contract!

fletcher injured again...

time to enter market for new midfield or promote youngster...

What the heck are you talking about?
Vida, Evra, Giggs, Rooney..
Not on the same level ka? It wasn't so long ago that Carrick-Giggs schooled that Chelsea side.

Carrick, Fletcher, Nani, Park, Valencia, Ando, Rio all have performed wonders in the big games.

'strong target man'? WTF.

Well, now that Fletcher is out, we really do need a midfielder. With Ando and Cleverley always getting injuries here and there, we need someone in. Carrick alone can't be expected to hold that midfield together. There's Jones I guess, but as of right now he's just a backup for that role. He's doing OK there, but prefer a more natural midfielder. In time he might be good there, but right now not good enough to play in every game there although I suppose him being awesome he would do well in most cases. But we need more than that. Opportunity for Gibson I guess. There's a silver lining somewhere that he's still here and not at Sunderland or somewhere..

yeah..recently SAF stated that no nedd for reinforcements but with this blow maybe its time to enter market or most likely to promote younsters like pogba and morisson..but in SAF we trust...speedy recovery for fletcher..really blow..

We have to support Arsenal next....to beat Man City

who are we left as cm now..giggs,38
carrick, park? , gibbo, phil jones.
man we are really lookin thin..

oh yea,, wayne rooney

time for golden boy Becks to come home

I still think we can manage to catch up City until January. Carrick - Jones/Giggsy.

maybe Valencia can slot in the middle like he did with Ecuador . Park/Rooney/Gibson still available

hehe hopes Gibbo can step up

Wayne Rooney our utility man

Get well soon Fletcher

I won't mind watching him come back for a short loan spell ala Henrik Larsson

^ Won't be any loan. He's out of contract soon. Likely heading to PSG.

aye...too much curry for him?

i think u r right.
i still see we have alot of options especially in our reserve team and youth team.
many players yet to be given chance to step up.
we dun need to buy to make the numbers we have the numbers.
if u all dun think we have the quality i think we do have the quality youth/reserve thats on par with any 1st teamers in BPL except an elite few.

i'm not gonnabe an ABC (anything but city) we'll drop down to ABU levels when we do that.

what can he do?

Seems the illness is very serious, hope he recovers well. Still disappointed that him doesn't make it to the last UCL finals, but Fletcher is a fighter.

Now let's see what is the gaffer's reaction. Gibson, Pogba & Morrison should be prepared for it.

And Vidic rumored could be out for a year.

It's sad to see such news on Fletcher. Didn't know he has been suffering from such illness for the past 2 years. Yet he always works his socks off to get on the pitch but too bad I think the sickness has caused his performance on the pitch. Well, nothing is more important than your own health, so please get well soon there.

Now our midfield is looking very THIN.
