blahblahblah 2 Posted January 23, 2007 Ok, I''m really sorry about doing this, as I know (or suspect I know) what''ll happen the moment this thread is opened, but...http://www.rickwaghorn.co.uk/full_article.asp?i=812Waghorn makes a compelling argument for Chris Sutton being left on the bench, should a 6''3 Carew (of Lyon) swap places with Baros, especially after O''Neill has just signed Ashley Young has for 8 million. Is this an indication of Suttons'' fitness, or of O''Neills impatience ? Will "Our Chris" be happy to play a bit-part and pick up a very large pay-cheque, or could he be interested in a cut-price last hurrah now that the main obstacle to his arrival has been removed ? Now that we have Chris Brown and Dion Dublin in the side, could we incorporate another big man up-front, or could we even play Sutton and Dublin in the back four ? Oooh the possibilities.

blahblahblah 2 Posted January 23, 2007 Wellllll, it''s been a good 6 months since we''ve had proper melodrama on this board, isn''t it ? [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted January 23, 2007 I suppose it says something about the current state of these boards that a Chris Sutton thread has been started as something different to talk about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0 Posted January 23, 2007 My grandfather inlaw is a season ticket holder at Villa & he said "hands off Sutton, he''s twice as good as Baros & Angel put together this season"! But of course, Worthy knew best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,506 Posted January 23, 2007 I don''t think anything will happen as far as Chris Sutton is concerned Blah. He was here once and did a very good job for the club and then he moved away and has been a very, very good player over the years. He''s a bit older now, he''s had his injury problems, which are a concern, so it is something that I doubt will happen! [:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ca 1 Posted January 23, 2007 No point discussing this one cause the board have made it very clear they were never interested even though Chris and his representatives offered them a chance to talk to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huddy 0 Posted January 23, 2007 This is not me being mischevious.Chris Sutton is currently out with eye problems or something and is unlikely to play again as i understand from a source.Sutton is currently in Norfolk, (he has a house here) and i saw him the other day. I dont think its my place to go into details but it sounds like he''s retiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
