ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I always thought Hutton was an OK player, and certainly not worthy of the vitriol that he has received over the last 2 years.Not the best RB we've ever had, but certainly not the worst either. And for a long time Villa supporter like myself, whos hero was Alex Cropley, there can't be enough bad tackles on Albion players imho. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I can't think of a worse RB than him since Fernando Nelson. He didn't look that bad before joining us, so maybe it is a lot to do with us as a team and/or the management at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Credit where credit is due. Hutton played a really solid game for Scotland against England the other night full of passion, desire & commitment. We all know he is very limited as a footballer but he would be ideal for any team that likes a good scrap. A very low Premier League side or the Championship is surely his level. Hopefully, this individual performance has caught the eye of a few prospective suitors & has put him in the shop window. At least he has also showed a willingness to go out on loan & a desire to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted August 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think I'm the only VTer left who thinks Hutton is a good player and isn't ashamed to admit it. He had a rough half a season, a few games in the middle where he did ok followed by a long layoff and then back into an ailing side devoid of idea. He was as much a victim of McLeish's madness as anyone, there's a serviceable footballer in him. Of course the manager doesn't rate him which I can understand and he's on far too much money for what he is. Then there's Lowton. But I'm surprised we're not seeing much more interest in him, he seems to want to play football. Nope. I agree with you. He's become the focal point of the McLeish-based hate campaign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was pre Nelson but Gary Charles takes some beating as the worst right back in the last 35 years.

That said having spent a life time watching RB's more than any other player I honestly think he is a really poor defender and that has nothing to do with McLeish.

You watch that 95/96 season review and look how many goals came from crosses down the right hand side that Charles either provided or was involved in the build up to. Very underrated in my opinion, and our season went off the rails a bit when he broke and dislocated his ankle against West Ham just after the League Cup Final... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats a tad harsh, I think he is average and certainly not worth £40k which is the main problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted August 23, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 23, 2013 What is it that floats ur boat with right backs?? I was one myself and played at reasonable levels so used to watch them more closely than other players, still do. I used to play with NV so was a bit of a ITK chat between old mates but in public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted August 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 23, 2013 Probably just never updated it when he came back.. Sky are shit at updating stuff, based on the fact that they still have only three Champions League places on the Bundesliga table on their Score Centre. Probably something that should be in the "Things that piss you off..." thread, because it really annoys me every time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) so Hutton is whinging that we had three options to loan him to Spanish clubs and didn't agree a deal. so that translates to a Spanish club saying 'hey we'll have your player but will pay only 20% of his wages' and us saying 'erm **** no'. If Hutton wants to play so bad he could agree to take a pay cut or cancel his contract by mutual consent, but is he going to give up his lovely big wages for that '**** no' Edited September 5, 2013 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
