siebsbarmyarmy Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Missed out on this guy. Looks like we were prepared to spend some cash too: http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/motherwell-and-st-johnstone-miss-out-on-prolific-irish-striker.129019900? He was mentioned to me a few weeks agog hat we were interested. Shame sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Mixed emotions about Sutton leaving. Obviously an excellent scoring record with us but was capable of very little else. Wonder why he chose St Johnstone over us? Length of contract? Guaranteed starting every week? Best of luck to him, except against us! He sure was handsome.

DC'd Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Scored with his final touch of the ball for us. Apt way to go. All the best to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sad to see Sutton go. We have to remember he hit double figures again this season while playing in a pretty shite side. I think he has moved as he would have been on the bench here at Motherwell and used as an impact sub. It might be that St Johnstone want to build the team round him??

Big Higdon Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 OK so now the 3 players we have offered deals to 2 have moved away and one still undecided so when will we start to announce new signings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Shame Sutton has left. I was a critic of his style of play but as a professional, a person and a goal scorer you cannot deny the quality he had. Difficult to replace the goals but not difficult to replace the player. All the best to him but we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we have one new signing and one re-signing already. But most players and agents are away on holiday this time in June and decisions don't start getting made until after that.

All the best to him but we move on. Apparently a very good pro and a leader in the dressing room. A loss on that front. As others have said, the last six months have probably made it clear to him that he was unlikely to be a starter under Baraclough so probably best for him he moved on. Approximately 170 games for Motherwell, around 70 goals. Not too shabby.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthebasement Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 OK so now the 3 players we have offered deals to 2 have moved away and one still undecided so when will we start to announce new signings? I think we are still waiting on McD and Ainsworth? Best of luck to Sutton, cursed in the modern game by the fact he can't play up top by himself. In a way his last season with us was his best - his first touch of the ball scoring antics from the bench were brilliant, as was his body language and general demeanour despite losing his place. Total pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the only players to look reasonably fit at the start of the season so clearly showed some professional pride in that aspect. No denying he will be a loss but if he plays like he did first 4 months of the season for St Johnstone then I won't be too afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Pat Quinn Ian St. John Willie Pettigrew Dixie Deans Wilson Humphreys Five of the greatest players to ever play for Motherwell Football Club. And the only five post war players to score more goals for us than John Sutton. That's how big a gap Sutton is going to leave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
