Lerner's Driver Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Couldn't be bothered to read the Mail article which said something like Hutton triggers contract extension, but can someone explain what that means because I would have thought it would be the club triggering it, not him?

Pretty sure Hutton doesn't pick the team. What did you want him to do deliberately play bad so he didn't get picked. This is a prime example of dislike ruling over objectivity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have clauses both ways I'm pretty sure. I.e the player can have a clause stating if he plays x amount of games then he has been a needed player in the squad therefore gets an automatic one year extension. Usually a clause for elder statesman of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have liked him to pass a ball to feet over a distance further than 2 yards, for the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't have anything to do with your original post but clearly you don't like him and that's fine I guess but exaggerating his shortcomings doesn't help get your view across.

meregreen Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Christ this club never learns. First Gabby, then Westwood, thankfully Burnley got mugged into taking him,now Hutton. He's a poor player, who gives his all. The first attribute negates the second. Please get rid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Laet isn't awful...he played a game and a bit before getting injured. Of course the injury might have taken a bit off him. He's also played for Boro and Leicester who've gone up in recent seasons.

skarroki Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hutton has his faults, and I think he was woeful in a fair few games at the start of the season. Unfortunately his bad games have meant that every error in every game since have been highlighted and been remembered over all the things he did competently. He has shortcomings, his crossing is poor. He shouldn't be making marauding runs into the final third. That's up to the manager to set the team up in a way where the players aren't played to their weaknesses. He hasn't been recently and lo and behold, he's looking better. Don't think it's a bad thing having him another season. Who knows how De Laet will be when he comes back from injury. Look at Amavi. Bree is an unknown quantity and could be a while away from holding down a first team place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) At least we know what he is about, he is happy at Villa, and is willing to fight for his place next season even if he might just be back up. He will be a useful squad player next season. Edited March 3, 2017 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 All this means for me is we now have a saleable "asset" in the summer rather than losing him for nowt. Sell him in Jan when De Laet is fit. Good cover for Bree. I've heard his wages almost halved when we went down so he'd be on £15-20k max per week ( thank you Mr Fox!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Boro and Leicester fans how they rate him, I have also seen him play for Boro and Leicester. He is worse than Hutton going forward and cannot defend. Another awful RDM signing.

villan-scott Posted March 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2017 Remember the time he went on loan to Real Mallorca? Cushty little number for him that. I imagine he will be here next season, as Bruce said he pleased that the clause had been triggered. He's not a world beater for he's committed to the cause. In time Bree will oust him from the position as in the couple of games he did play before his injury, you could see he was quality. Then it's Bruce's quandary of what to do with de Laet.

DeadlyDirk Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm sort of glad he's sticking around for another year, he's a good example to have around for the younger players to look upto. When he could of thrown his toys out of the pram, kicked up a fuss when he was in the infamous bomb squad, or given up and gone full on lower-league (excluding this season), he's knuckled down, hasn't complained and got on wth it, got his place back in the team and despite everything he's still here. I'm sure when the other guys are fully fit he'll be more of a bit-part player, but his attitude is the type that you tend to find only in the best players. Also, watched some of those "In the dressing room with...." video's on the official YouTube channel. Consistently named as the best trainer, one of the first to turn up every morning and puts the effort in, similar to what we see on match days.
