Mayfield Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 12 minutes ago, Dave_Og said: What might be acceptable and what level? @Dave_Og Six figure sum, extending his contract was a smart move. Would £300,000 be realistic for a talented prospect such as Will, I hope we wouldn't sell for much less. @BP1960 is aware of a top flight club making enquiries, I would think League 1 isn't out of reach for Will. Hull City seem to have us on the radar as a good source of talent ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I simply don’t get it with all the praise for Sutton… He is a centre back being played at full back and is just about holding his own without showing that he is a long term solution in the position. He has youth on his side but any talk of premiership clubs as a potential destination is fanciful in my view. *mind you that’s coming from someone who thought that Piergianni was our best defender last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to them, Sutton is a welcome relief. He's also a CB, so he's doing well. I agree about connecting him to the PL being fanciful, but credit where it's due.

I was far from impressed with him when he came into the side last season, but at the moment he's doing alright at full back. Got a bit of a chasing at Chesterfield, I thought but he's done alright this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right but I thought Pidge was our best player last season by a mile, all the He-man shite is what I'm referring to, same with Norman this season who would probably win player of the season if the vote was tomorrow, some never gave him a chance as they'd read he was shite on the Carlisle message board when in fact you probably wouldn't swap him for another in the League.

He's done alright recently but he's chucked loads in this season. Worst thing is I can't think of anyone to challenge him for the player of the season accolade at the moment...

Both I think but he provides a bit of pace in the middle of defence and Sutton is doing OK at right back so I'd leave him in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sutton's natural position is centre back and Yarney was excellent at right back in the FA trophy game, but as you say at the moment if it ain't broke don't fix it.

And if we are being completely honest, we were absolutely battered at Chesterfield, where our keeper had the game of his life. And then at Barnet, where I actually thought we did well second half, we were aided by their keeper having no hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
