John Sutton

[Guest Mahonio]

Not sure how good or bad this is but on SPL transfer rumours Facebook page, a guy who has only become a new admin posted that both us and St Mirren are looking at signing John Sutton on loan or permanent deal.

I don't usually post things that come from Facebook or Football rumours.co.uk site but thought I'd let you guys ken what's been said, now, this geezer said that "he seen that above rumour on several sites".

Thoughts, true if bullshit, in your opinions and please don't get personal as I am only posting what I read on Facebook?

Can't see him being interested in us but I'd happily take him on a permanent basis, not quite sure what we'd get out of a loan deal though.

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

No thanks - I think I'd prefer that bloke Hooper or whatever his name is ;-)

[starchief]

Does not sound like a Butcher signing.  I would be very surprised but not disappointed.  I realise the Mwell connection but an experienced 29 year old?! Cant see it.

[bdu98196]

Agreed, doesnt sound like a player we would have, plenty other clubs I think would offer more money - Hibs, D Utd, M'well even Killie. Never though JS fulfilled the potential from his younger years.

Just nice to hear a rumour saying someones coming rather than leaving.

Dont think we need another striker

[starchief]

I think we do with Oswell gone.  Who replaces an injured McKay (or if he loses form)?  Foran doesn't seem to be a front player anymore.  Sutherland hasn't hit the heights when played.  We've no one else to slot into that position, except for playing Shinnie or Pepper out of position.

[Alex MacLeod]

Roberts??

[Scarlet Pimple]

And where will the money come from anyway?

 

Hopefully a win on Saturday followed by a bonanza at Hampden will lift the club's debt position off their backs and wouldn't that be a wonderful boost as the season draws to a close?

At least the fecker'd stop scoring against us.

Reckon he's more likely to go to sevco tho.

[AJS]

Id happily have him but im guessing he is on a decent wage at Hearts (thats if he has been paid any of it) and given that we are only going with the 1 striker atm i doubt he would settle for the bench. 

[starchief]

Roberts??

He's scored less than Gary Warren. I don't see double figures coming from him. In fact, I can't see him ever playing the lone striker role. He's just not built for that style. I'd sooner put Foran up.

[AJS]

Roberts??

He's scored less than Gary Warren. I don't see double figures coming from him. In fact, I can't see him ever playing the lone striker role. He's just not built for that style. I'd sooner put Foran up.

 Warren is only one of being joint top scorer if he was at Ross County   . He has been somewhat prolific for a centre back this season.

Agree completely with Starchief's first post

[Renegade]

I actually would say that Foran did fairly well when he was up top earlier in the season.  If McKay was to get injured or leave, I think Foran could fill that void.  Obviously he probably wouldn't be as prolific as McKay is just now, but I think he could certainly do a job.

Roberts??

Yes, he scored less. But Gary Warren played 90 minutes in every match while Roberts had two or three starts and mostly came on as a sub 10 minutes from time. Count this and you'll see Roberts needed much less time for one goal than Warren.

[starchief]

Warren is a central defender.  I don't see Roberts being a lone striker, especially now.  That's why, with Oswell gone, I think we might struggle to fill his position if McKay isn't playing for any reason.

[KingBeastie]

Trust in Terry & Mo!

[Rival]

Just forget about feckin' Roberts, why he can perform vs Dundee Utd and Celtic then not complete a pass in any other game is beyond me, be better with Mathieson lone striker
