Departed striker gets big thumbs down
The Hammers collected a cool £6.5 million for the former Manchester United youth product when Slaven Bilic decided to cash in.
But the forward has a lot of proving to do at his new club after he reportedly made a disappointing first appearance for Gary Monk’s outfit.
He was on the pitch for just 57 minutes but the reaction on Twitter was notably downbeat among the away team’s fans.
Among the comments he attracted were:
O Imagine thinking Fletcher gets in ahead of Bamford. First major negative for Monk there, hope this isn’t a sign of things to come #borolive
O Your thoughts on Fletcher who was anonymous in the match – fair judgement ?
O get fletcher off, not doing it
A couple of Irons fans also joined in describing him as “decidedly average” and “amazed we got £6.5 million for him.“
