Sutton Scenario

Balls is back in the evening news

Chris Sutton (the best defensive striker I've seen) must be a millionaire. Can you imagine being in this situation, he has a pay-as-you play contract with City. It is 20th January, it is "brass-monkeys" and City are away to Burnley playing on a crap pitch at one of the coldest grounds I have been to. What odds a swift call to the club reporting a slight groin strain (well be honest, with his money you would wouldn't you). Now what would be the response of his team mates contracted to play every match if selected, not all sweetness and light I suggest.

Best to leave well alone.

        i was merely passing on other people's views (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:24:03
        
        I was conveying general thoughts when were speculated to sign him (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:25:32
        
        we get your point but so what? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:28:08
        
        So are we visualising a winters night in burnley........ (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:30:24
        
        why (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:30:36
        
        because... (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:37:11
        
        True, in this case you can see it at face value though (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:39:53
        
        depends what he's asking for (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:41:23
        
        Is that official? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:43:29
        
        I said it was a rumour (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:46:46
        
        Will be interesting if he turns that club down if it happens (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:49:16
        
        alternatively (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 16:06:37
        
        how can we truely speculate his demands if we won't speak to him? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 16:14:18
        
        he might be genuine (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:53:04
        
        but if no one knows, then it's just easy to assume that's the case (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:56:48
        
        it just makes far more sense (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 16:01:11
        
        isn't it just our now well-documented financial sit-ewe-ae-shun (NCFC) - camcan, Aug 10, 16:13:02
        
        true (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 16:09:21
        
        how can we hear "officially"? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 16:12:54
        
        Then we should sign anyone we can (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:23:23
        
        Then come back and bemoan how they were available around that time (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:24:19
        
        why would we do that if we'd signed them???? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:25:48
        
        thought it said shouldn't, not should (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:29:20
        
        i'd love to play for us (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:30:23
        
        I bet his wage demands would suggest where his real love was (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:34:03
        
        And we'll never know because Worthy won't speak to him (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Aug 10, 15:36:25
        
        supposedly he hasn't spoken to us either (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:42:18
        
        that was certainly the line from gunny and co (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:45:30
        
        Yet someone on here has said he has it on good authority that (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:50:07
        
        who (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:51:44
        
        doy (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:52:22
        
        guny (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:45:03
        
        Crow was gutted to be realeased by us, and was on ?300 a week (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:35:26
        
        I agree that was stupid decision (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:44:31
        
        Wouldn't you expect an 18 year to be full of it? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:47:32
        
        As I said, totally agree (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:51:23
        
        you've had realeased and realised (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:36:39
        
        are you a professional footballer? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:30:55
        
        i don't have a club just like sutton (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:32:48
        
        answer the question? (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:33:38
        
        no (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:34:02
        
        then stop talking in riddles (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:34:31
        
        lol (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:35:32
        
        Think pants is in a timewarp. He thinks we've signed Edworthy again too (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:21:46
        
        When we signed Edworthy, he'd play 20 times a season for the last 3 seasons (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:23:35
    - Why have we signed Edworthy when he couldn't even complete a season 4 the last 3+ seasons? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:18:24
      - Or Emblen (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:20:23
