rodders0223 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Terry got typecast as a blood and guts defender but to be fair he could use the ball better than most when he stepped out of defence. Incredibly underated in that aspect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly underated in that aspect. Agreed. In some way he was a bit like Puyol, then again in other ways he was not. Both showed a lot of heart and leadership and was decent enough with their feet for CB's. Puyol the better player thou IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a club in our position it makes sense to try to loan players this summer. Then try to use them to get promotion where after we could then use the new found premier league money to buy better players than we could buy this summer. Alex Bruce informed by Hull on Twitter today that he'll be released this summer. He wasn't aware until the Hull post apparently. Don't know how to link the tweet or his comeback though.

Around £30k off the wage bill. He had a decent season last year but that's still too much for someone with a 'good attitude' but limited technical ability. We bought one of the brightest young right-backs in the league to play that position plus we've got De Laet as competition / back up next season. Sensible deal if we do get rid. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished mid table in the Championship. That's his level. We have 2 other better options in my opinion. Since Hutton arrived we've got worse. He's been a regular the last 2 years look at our finishing positions! Hutton should be on the reject list along with the likes of Richards and Elphick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst De Laet has been injured, Bree has been at the club since January and not been able to displace Hutton from the team... I wouldn't say he is a better option (although I'm sure he will become a better player with age) I just think we have a lot of deadwood at the club to be shifting before Hutton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree did dislodge him then for some unknown reason Bruce put Hutton back in. Only reason I can think of was to appease some fans singing his name as Bree hadn't put a foot wrong. Weve 3 RB's one has to go. Hopefully it's Hutton. Bruce needs to start trusting his youth players or why would they come to us? Bree was an in demand player yet we sign him and drop him for no reason. If you're an Abraham would you want to sign for Bruce? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're an Abraham would you want to sign for Bruce? Probably not... Jack Grealish is currently filling me with false hope that Abraham will sign for us with Instagram photos with him most days... Personally think he is now Premiership standard but we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 If we can get someone to pay for Alan Hutton after he was placed in the bomb squad what feels like a decade ago then that's incredible business. Along with Alex Bruce on a free, great start to the window 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Can't believe they didn't tell him, decent response from him though, assuming he's not having a laugh. What do people think to Bruce joining Villa? Is he better than Baker? Or a Bruce too far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
