Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is delighted with the £12 million spent to land Steven Fletcher.
Fletcher has convinced the red and white faithful that they finally have a replacement for prolific former frontman Darren Bent.
O'Neill said: "So far, he has been absolutely terrific, I am just delighted with him. I just couldn't be more pleased.
"All sorts of figures seem to be bandied around - I heard today we paid £14million for him - it was £12million, but he seems to be worth every single penny of it.
"I am just pleased for him. It's nice for the crowd to take to him at this minute - that will give him a boost of confidence as much as anything else, but goals, of course, are very pleasing."
