John Fleck

I'd be amazed if there's anything in this. He hasn't played well in years, and typically needs half a season to get fit after a layoff.

On good money here so will likely just see out his contract and move to Scotland in the summer (be surprised if he manages to get a move to Rangers, but GLTTL if he can).
 

i will be suprised if we see him in a blades shirt again unless mcatee and osborn are both injured hes 3rd choice imo for the left midfield spot for me
 
I got called on a little after the Watford game for saying Fleck is past it. Can't see a redemption in his case.
 
Fleck is just an average midfield. We won't see the old John Fleck and what we have now is just a cover midfielder to come on as a sub.
 
Fleck was ineffective where was Norwood
I give Norwood a pass, yeah he was poor but he regularly puts in good performances. One off day is annoying (and at a crucial time too) but he’s got credit in the bank.

Fleck not so much. Well into his overdraft

Norwood has been poor for weeks. We really could do without his form dropping now.
 
He’s looked a different player in the last few games, culminating in yesterday’s sprint for his goal (and the blatant trip on their bloke when he couldn’t catch up with him 😁). Great to see the real John Fleck again
 

If and it is a big if we can bring new players in Fleck needs to leave. A terrific blades career but time to end it. Too many injuries for a player who takes time to get back up to speed. Still has qualities but now takes up wages and a squad place we can't really justify.
In the final analysis,Hecky is the manager,he has big decisions to make,squad formation,nothing we say will make a scrap of difference,i'm quite willing to let him manage,we either trust his judgement or we dont,personally,i do. The bloke has done a wonderful job in the face of all kinds of adversity and he has earned our trust.
 
Fleck used to be my favourite player and could obviously do a job in the Championship. But I don’t want to see his legacy eroded by so many anonymous performances. If he goes now he’ll be able to hold his head up high, if somehow he stays, he’ll merely be taking up a squad shirt.

Would he be useful as a squad player,not first choice but coming on as he'd did against P.N.E. Scoring,maybe?

He came on against a poor PNE side who had taken off defensive players for attackers as they chased the game....there was acres of space....let's not get carried away eh.
 
I like Aaron Mooy at Celtic. PL experience with Huddersfield. Yeah he's 32 and might not want to shift but I like him. 2 year deal. He'd replace Fleck.

That's just my opinion. That's all.

Fair comment,not getting carried away,just thinking,Hecky seems to like him.
 
We'll be going into the premiership with the same bunch, without fresh money coming in, Heckys hands are virtually tied.
Even so, we are too loyal to older players, like we can't let go, need to keep improving the squad, take the best quality loans we can get and bring Brooks,Arblaster,Osula etc on when we can

Unfortunately you only see the old John Fleck coming on in the last 20, when the game has opened up and the opposition is tiring.
He's been a fantastic player for us but time to move on now.
 

I wonder if there could be more of a plan to this than meets the eye.

I know this is giving a lot of credit by the way!

We sign 6 players and out ourselves in a good financial position by being sensible.

We avoid a mass influx of players with related costs by keeping those that know the club and the tactics etc.

In doing so, we buy time for the next batch of players to take up the mantle.

We could integrate Arblaster, Brooks and Peck. We could keep Osula around. We could push Boyes into the squad.

But perhaps the best thing for them is 12 solid months away picking up 40+ games somewhere.

Then when Stevens steps away, Boyes is ready to come straight in. When Fleck steps away, one of the above is ready made for his spot. When Sharp comes up to the end of the season perhaps Osula is ready to take his spot?

Perhaps this is just the handover year where the established players are there to call on to 'do a job' whilst their replacements bridge the gap with some valuable experience?
