He was one of the only ones who during that relegation season could hold his head up as he gave his all and tried his best. It was the others around him that let us down. He has been one of our better players now for the last couple of years and there are a number of players in the squad we can improve on before we have to think of replacing Alan Hutton. He has earned a new contract and we'd be stupid not to give him one. Edited May 13, 2018 by markavfc40 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate his efforts but he was instrumental in all the cackness once upon a time - we do not move on with him in the side. My recollection is he was treated like shit by a series of managers and also by the club but remained calm and worked hard to maintain his level of performance. (Remember when he was being picked for the Scottish national side but, IIRC, training with our under-23s). That hard work is finally paying off. Villa have a lot to thank him for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Our best full back - definitely deserves a 1 year deal if we get up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I absolutely love this player. He's the definition of hard work paying off and sound professional. There's a reason for all the love he's getting atm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yep for me deserves an extension 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2018 Ok, I know I'm irrational about Hutton, based on recent season(s), but is there any room for sentimentality? It's like Bruce, cheers for promotion but hello Rafa, and Hutton, well if we go up there will be money to replace him with something younger and exciting. One more year as cover perhaps, but in the premier league he'll be tested very sorely and frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for making improvements. If there are better options available then we should explore them, but a one year extension for Hutton as a backup/rotation player wouldn't be terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton's promotion-winning goal was very good, he's earned a 1-year extension. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he leave? lol ALSO, I think most people are under the impression that once we are promoted we will be able to buy 22 top players. It will need to be a process, and Hutton is more than good enough to be a squad player at minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally, albeit he's more a metaphor now for the level of manager who could come in straight away (at least in my head). I'm gonna about turn on Hutton, I have a feeling that Bruce will remain next season if we don't go up so he might as well have that 12 month contract now. Only way he doesn't get it, is, yes you guessed it, we go up and Rafa comes in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The prophecy was foretold. (On this very thread I believe). You’ve earned Cult hero status my friend. Now get us promoted and you will become legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
