I thought us paying a million for him was ridiculous, but it still

got the fan base going, and my point is that if, as we are led to believe, Sutton is available for 300,000 and 15,000 a week wages AND eager to finish his career at Norwich it's something which could bring team and fans closer together than signing Andy Fucking Gray.

I wouldn't be happy with Sutton as the only striker signing - I'd also hope that we'd go for a young hope from the lower divisions as well to spread the risk.
