My view is actually different to the vast majority on here – John Fleck is the best technical footballer we have had for quite a while. Absolute wand of a left foot at this level and could quite comfortably play in the Championship with better players around him. I will be sad to see him go.
Lack of fitness?
Yes, lack of fitness. Like Cole, he disappears for long periods in a game, doesn't look to want the ball. 3 times he was robbed of the ball in our defensive third of the field against Boro, and CBA to get back. Leaving Vincelot to do the Donkey work in tidying up after his mistakes. All this down to lack of fitness.
Fleck is better than this level. One of the few of our own players who could cut it in the league above if we had got promoted.
I have a feeling he will be back off to Rangers though.
If he's better than this level why for over 70% of the time he has played in it he has looked distinctly average?
I also think Kevin Thornton was the best technical footballer we had for a while.My view is actually different to the vast majority on here – John Fleck is the best technical footballer we have had for quite a while.

hes been good this season, although as with any cov player soon as linked with move away hes shit lol
It's the big dip in form during games that worries me most.In my opinion, the 1st half of the season Fleck was one of our players of the season along with vincelot, Martin and Armstrong. Maybe his big dip in form is the mistake of not offering him a new contract.

Means nowt in the grand scheme of things.
Why hasn't he ran the show more often for us and shown all this wonderful ability he has?
If he is as good as some believe him to be we should have seen a lot more one man shows from him.
Exactly my feeling too. Up and down like a yo-yo.I thought this would be John Flecks year. Yes he has ability but far too inconsistent for me. Not just from game to game even within a game.
He has a great shot on him and should be scoring many more goals.Fleck's a good player at this level and has on occasion done very well for us. I hope tonight he has a good game that he is capable of. But the issue with him has always been consistency. TM said he wanted goals from his midfielders this season and Fleck has lacked resolve in this regard. He has had opportunities but rarely goes for goal does he? He can at times be frustrating to watch, though overall very reliable. Is he therefore replaceable and no big loss? Yes. There are a lot more players out there with equal ability or better and we may have a ready replacement already, according to TM. So good luck to him, wherever he goes I doubt he will set the world alight tbh. Let's hope we get a few good consistent games from him in the meantime and he shows us what we will be missing...

Yes, because everybody with eyes is saying how great Maddison is now he has signed for Norwich.
Yep, because it's actual.fact some players play shocking. So nobody with actual working eyes is saying he is playing amazingly well.did you deliver that line right?

Do you honestly think Rangers fans would welcome him back with open arms after shitting on them and joining us do you?
Before Christmas Fleck was outstanding, on a par with Armstrong for me and when he was absent we looked much worse off.
Second half of the season though he has been poor - whether that's because the system has changed slightly or that he's getting more attention from the opposition I don't know but he hasn't come up with enough answers. I'd be happy if he wanted to stay but I won't lose any sleep if he heads off, or break the bank to try and keep him.
I'm pretty sure he has been offered a deal, Mowbray was asked about it a few weeks back.In my opinion, the 1st half of the season Fleck was one of our players of the season along with vincelot, Martin and Armstrong. Maybe his big dip in form is the mistake of not offering him a new contract.
