Neil Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I get the impression that under Broon Sutton would have been moved on, I hope we can get him signed up as he is always good for about 10 goals a year and does a power of work.

steelboy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 we're maybe waiting til after the quarter final and the split to see what we can offer jenno and sutty. i'd be delighted if they both stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullane Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Motherwell striker John Sutton is enjoying life under new Fir Park boss Stuart McCall, according to the forward's agent. (Daily Express) It's nice words coming from Sutton and Jennings, but why release such statements to the media? Are they touting for contract extensions? Given they are currently part of the Well wage structure I'd expect them to have a realistic view on club finances. Jennings and Sutton are key players for us at present. I don't think there is anything to lose by offering them new contracts now. The money won't be as much as the English lower leagues but it's up to the players what they value most - cash or club loyalty. Personally, I think if either re-sign, the fans will elevate them to cult status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 The thing is it was all the agent talking, even made the point at 27 Sutton needs to think carefully about his future for his family as well as himself. Sounds like he's trying to get more money for his client, which is his job, but can the club afford to match the English Clubs that are supposed to be showing an interest? Or is that just another ploy? Would love Sutts to stay on, same with Jenno but realistically to stay, they have to accept what the club can offer and that may be not what they are looking for.

We are riding a little high and the manager's positive profile is part of that. it's not a coincidence that you are seeing these comments this week and not immediately after the 6-0 drubbing but the communications from the club have been very good since SM took the job and positive feedback from our stars is always good to read.

Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think it's come out because Jenno and Suttygoal want to stay and are wanting new contracts, I would welcome it and it makes sence why they both would come out and say it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuwell Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 The guy was talking to a Rotherham fan who was moaning that we'd nicked one of thier best players on a pre contract and he thought the Rotherham fan had mentioned Le Fondre.

Jonesy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm pretty sure Le Fondre stil has another season on his Rotherham deal. Think the Football League show had a bit about that. They have an agreement he can leave in the summer, but obviously it wont be on a free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Copper 2 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Le Fondre (Alfie) refused to sign another contract at Rotherham, he was also touted as be worth around One Million, so i doubt he would be coming North to the SPL. Presently knowone even the Big two could afford him. Would be a great move but highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Dumbarton youngster Nicky Devlin will rub shoulders with youngsters from Premiership Academies of Arsenal, Birmingham City, Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur as well as SPL youngsters in a Scotland Under 19 Squad Training Camp being held at Inverclyde next week.National Youth Teams Coach, Billy Stark, has selected the Sons youngster to attend with Dumbarton boss Alan Adamson saying, “Nicky is attending on merit and we are delighted for him and it is a great reflection on him and the work done at this club.” Quite good for a player in the second division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris*Kaizer 2*Nunn Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just got some info on this Devlin boy, He was on trial at Stoke and Preston and they were keen on him. He went on trial at Celtic as well but they didn't want him. Would say thats a bit of a steal from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
