no further signings?

Much has been said on the Sutton situation, what a disgrace that would be, although i understand the arguments regarding his age and fitness, but still a city legend in blue? Worthy should be shot!

Anyway - left back cover - Clive Clarke being chased by Sunderland and i see Stoke got Higginbotham from Saints, he would have provided excellent cover to Drury and the centre backs. Another miss by Worthy.

I have been encouraged by the Croft signing, but no further additions to an already small squad is a dangerous game. Coupled with the fact that hes not prepared to blood any younger squad memebrs yet, he is risking alot.

Ive always sat on the fence regrding the Worthy sit-u-ation, but now - f**k him.

OTBC for the new season

  - Why put ward in the same light as sutton? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 3, 11:02:20
    - it doesn't have to be Ward (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 3, 11:04:53

        nor do Pele's. Let's sign him. (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 3, 11:13:35
        
        He doesn't moan about Thorne being a has-been. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Aug 3, 11:17:55
        
        OK, but Thorne is hardly an argument in favour of signing Sutton (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 3, 11:19:48
        
        I don't go on about how good he is (NCFC) - pants, Aug 3, 11:25:29
