    And it was a massive outlay (for us)

    I'd like both, but have gone Fletcher. Only because we're lacking so badly up top.

    Fletcher. Need a striker and resale value.

    Agreed, but isn't James only 24? #TargetModel

    He is and has a resale value but we need more of a striker at the moment than a central midfielder if we needed to pick. I loved James when he was here but Fletcher is a better striker than he is a centre midfielder, despite it being very close. Just an opinion as its a very tough one.

    Fletcher. We're bare upfront, and he's a bit younger.

    Bugger! It won't let me vote for both lads!:D
    I've gone for James, but would be overjoyed if we signed Fletcher.

    An example of a hypothetical question if ever there was one!

    Both would be huge for us, but I'll go Fletcher. Just.

    We had James last year, with no strikers, and were rubbish. He's quality but we need goals.

    I've gone James but it's a tough one.

    We're more in need of strikers but I think James is just the better player.

    I agree that our performances weren't rubbish, but we just couldn't win games. I'd agree though that it was more down to strikers and stand-in defenders

    Fletcher because that's where we need to strengthen the squad. We have enough midfielders but insufficient forwards.

    Fletcher but only because bradders needs a strike partner

    In an ideal world we'd get both!

    I'd love them both but have gone for James simply because I think he has the most quality.

    I think there is no chance of James coming back Think Leicester will recoup by moving him on to
    one of the newly promoted / relegated teams that have the ££££'s
    Fletcher we might just get on loan for the first few months of the season. Depending how West Ham do that may be extended, unless they get an offer that tempts them to sell. They are ambitious & he'll not be in their immediate plans & they'll need him to get game time somewhere. Whether it's us or not remains to be seen, but at least we'd give him a guaranteed start.
