That doesn’t make my argument that the team had been in decline any less. In fact it strengthens it. It’s not a stick to beat him with it’s a fact unless someone wants to make a valid argument otherwise. In the 2009 season we lost Ronaldo , Tevez and Hargreaves was crocked. 3 key players in a great CL winning team lost. Summer signings were Obertan (who we were mocked by Blanc for buying if I remember) Owen and Valencia. Hardly signings to keep a once great team ticking. not quite sure what your getting at. the first point you made was that fletcher wouldn't get in any top team and was over rated ? No my initial point was that since the Class of 92 the standout player from our academy was Wes Brown. Nowhere did I say Fletcher was overrated. I said that in a great team he wouldn’t start. Not really a controversial statement. |

Is this the same Darren Fletcher who absolutely dominated AC Milan twice and was instrumental in numerous European performances during a time when we’d found the perfect formula of how to play in the Champions League? What the fucks going on here man? Yet again we are having a different argument nowhere have I said he wasn’t a good player. He was , I said that. Unfortunately imo he wouldn’t start in a great Manchester United team. Unfortunately we have a highly predictable OMG what did she say , is she shitting on Fletcher here kind of reaction. |

He started in a great United team, 2009! This kind of disproves your point. |

In fairness to karma Wes Brown was a supremely talented defender. Just had bad luck.

Wes was epic in that 07/08 season at right back.

Yeah brown was a better player for me I was always pissed of when Fletcher used to start in cm me and my dad would always be fuming, i always thought he was a very good squad player but never believed he was good enough to start for us |

Were people asleep for huge parts of Fletcher's United career? He was important for us for a number of years.

Were people asleep for huge parts of Fletcher's United career? He was important for us for a number of years. Thinking the same thing. There is no way Brown was a better player than Fletcher was. They play in different positions for a start and although Brown was a talented defender Fletcher was an important player for a much longer period. Both players played their parts but for me Fletcher was a much more important player for us. |

Fletcher is the player that always reminds me to give the academy kids more of a chance. I thought he'd never be anything for us for years, but he grew as a player and was a legitimately important part of one of our all-time great periods.

I thought he'd never be anything for us for years, but he grew as a player and was a legitimately important part of one of our all-time great periods. I wrote a match of the season piece for the old Voice of Mancunia (whatever happened to that?) and nominated the second semi final against Arsenal in the Champions League. Not only did I single out Fletch in that game but someone else wrote a piece about him being our player of the season that year. He was immense, and I still stand by my original assertion that he would have made all the difference against Barcelona in the final. |
