I think Sutton would make a great signing but I doubt he would want give up playing the Premier League for the Championship.  I also doubt that the Board would want to sign anybody on £20,000+ a week.

The chance to sign him was there in the summer. That chance has now passed & it''s just one more decision on the list of blunders made by my beloved club!

The club never found out because he was past it according to the manager whom put us in this mess.  As for Golf playing brothers - actually it was Chris Sutton who said he wanted to play here.

 

As it is WHY do we need him?  We are doing fine thanks very much!!  lol 

 

As for he was OK....  He got an assist, won innumerable headers and almost scored when he hit the underside of the bar.  I get the impression Villa fans are happy we turned him down!

Anyway if he was going to be on £10,000 a week thats only £2000 a week more than we pay Peter Thorne!!

But Suton is to old, was never very good, too injury prone, look how poor he was at Birmingham....  What a joke.

And let me add Munby said he would like to see Sutton here but the previous manager was not interested.

so he went and got Dion Dublin!

jas :)

The flip side to this, of course, is that had we signed Sutton would we have also signed November''s player of the month Dion Dublin...

Very good point... Dion has been a sensation. Imagine if we had signed both though, we could have had a forward line with a combined age of 327!!

Would Dion have been player of the month had we signed sutton?  or

Would we have needed to sign dion had we signed Sutton?

This and other imponderable questions such as why are we discussing Sutton again will surely be answered in my fortune cookie tonight...

Chris sutton was one of the best players to have pulled on the canary shirt and could still do  a great job up front with earnie.To get him here as mentioned before on a pay as you play deal would be brilliant. You can see why o neil soon snapped him up.

[/quote]I think it''s worth bringing back up for this reason... If Lerner

loosens the purse strings at Villa in January - a definite possibility

- and O''Neill brings in a couple of new strikers, Sutton could well be

out of the side. In this situation, a swoop from PG might be seriously

considered if Sutton''s main desire is to get first team football... And

would O''Neill seriously turn down a transfer request from Sutton given

both of their connections with Norwich?

Sounds complicated, but given a few new signings at Villa, the rest might just fall into place.
