ForfarVillan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'd just like to say, I think it was only I and another poster who didn't throw him under a bus after that dreadful McLeish showing. Was it ForfarVilla? We deserve points for this. I am scoring them for both of us. my last reply was deleted but yea it was me and we were lambasted for it, just as it was last month when I mentioned how well he had played for Scotland even through the wilderness years. Said he was a quality player, mocked for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 He should be good with all the **** practice he's had over the last 2 years! Fair play big Al, hope he keeps up his excellent early season form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Bizarre decision. A couple of decent games and he gets a new contract? It better be on much reduced wages. As for him as a footballer I don't rate him and I think he'll be exposed over the course of the season. Also he's an absolute thug on the pitch and is a Red card waiting to happen. This seems to be one of those decisions when a new CEO comes in and does things to show "I'm not like the last guy, I'm different and things are going to change around here".

Dont rate him either, very poor positionally. Dont expect many off sides when he is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Errr I am calling WHAT THE F***? Not allowed to play him for years plays 4 games well and gets a new 3 year deal. Seriously this deserves CLEAR clarification on why he wasn't played. It's clear the decision was not Lamberts. The minute he was allowed bring him back into the fold, he did and threw him in the team. It must have been enforced on him, here is the wage bill you are allowed have, the rest need to be sold / loaned out. He had to freeze Hutton out due to his wages and nothing else. Must be horrible place to be in as a manager, you can't pick these players because they are paid too much!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 He's made a strong start to the season but I'm slightly surprised he's got a new contract off the back of four games. Hopefully he can keep it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 He's made a strong start to the season but I'm slightly surprised he's got a new contract off the back of four games. Hopefully he can keep it up. Don't forget that by extending the contract, we re-monetise an asset that would otherwise walk away on a free. Hopefully his good form continues so that VT members can all speculate as to how much the club are going to sell him for, a la Benteke and Vlaar.

Rob182 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I think it would have been more reasonable to see how he plays for the next few months, and give him a contract in November/December if his good form continues. But this could have easily resulted in him planning to leave us in January/Summer to another club. If that had happened, we'd all be moaning that we didn't sign him up for a new deal sooner, so I'm happy he's been given a new contract. It avoids us having ANOTHER position to fill next summer.

Intercourse_The_Penguin Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I was pleased with this initially given how Hutton's been performing in the first few games and in pre-season, but then I thought... hang on, if this works out it will mean we have decent options in both full-back positions. But this is Villa, so we know that's not possible. Ergo this can't work out and it must be a bad idea. QEf'ingD!

JoshVilla Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Happy with this. Obviously, it's early days yet, and I hope he can continue this form and be consistent, but it would have been gutting if he carried on playing like this and then left in January or for free in the summer.

turnbull Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thought he did ok tonight, given that he's had no pre-season to speak of. Dare I ask it, is he worth keeping as cover for the Lowster? Answers on a postcard......................... I remember posting this after the Eng-Scot game last year. It got some interesting replies.

I remember the game and I remember him playing really well, as he almost always has for Scotland and thinking "this is going to confuse the **** out of VT".
