Fletcher is twice the player of that Muppet. With Scholes playing, we needed that grey hound approacher of fletecher to aid him.
I wouldn't compare them. 2006-09 Carrick was better than Fletcher ever was. Fletcher form is not good either. It is just that SAF thinks Carrick and Scholes compliment each other. Both play deep lying role and protect defense and we will be attacking via Wings imo.
I would have preferred Fletcher myself as he is completely different player when it comes to big games.

Lucas will press without giving inch of space and we dont have any player to do the same.
