7392craig Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Had a dream last night that he started first game of the season on the right wing (shudder). Agree that he lacks quality, but if everybody in the team put in his effort we'd have finished a lot higher up the league last season. Would be happy to see him leave, but would still look back on his time here with some twisted form of fondness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post terrytini Posted July 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2017 How anyone can prefer that 'useless sack of shit' ( I think is the phrase lol) Richards, as some have mentioned, to Hutton baffles me. Likewise Bacuna. Ive no love for Hutton and will glad to see him go but he puts more energy and commitment into the warm up than those two have in three years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supervillan78 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Selling Hutton at this point is a huge mistake IMO. Admittedly he's not the greatest RB in the world but his work ethic has certainly earned him that contract extension. Yes we have other options. However, Bacuna and Richards are IMO both worse than Hutton in that position. While De Leat started at RB last season and did OK, he's just recovered from a massive injury and there is no indication how that has effected his ability. Bree is 'one for the future'.

Yes but nobody is coming in for Richards and Hutton should be a back up RB but not on the salary he earns. We should jump at the chance to shift him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If we can get money for him then sell him. We need to offload players and if he's in demand then so be it. However, his attitude cannot be faulted considering all the trials and tribulations he's faced during his time here. Its a shame there's no interest in the likes of Richards and gabby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid it makes no sense to me that if we've 2 players on high wages and one is in demand and the other completely unwanted that we then keep the one nobody wants and sell the other .

markavfc40 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) As things stand I think he is the best right back at the club at the moment. I accept that Bree is potentially going to be a better player but he is still just 19. De Laet is certainly a decent right back but he is just coming back from a very serious injury. I thought Hutton had a very good season. He is probably the fittest player we have and up there in terms our being our quickest player which shows how well he has looked after himself. Defensively he did well and going forward he was often our main outlet. Of course I'd accept his final ball was often found wanting. He wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my list in terms of players to ship out but if the manager feels Bree is ready to make the right back berth his own and/or De Laet will be the player he was before he got injured and is happy to let Hutton go then so be it I guess. Hutton will certainly be able to leave with his head held high as one of the few that gave 100% week in week out whilst many others over the last few years didn't give a toss.

He tried hard and was hugely encouraged by the crowd but he was at very best and average mid table championship performer. He WAS great fun but not excellent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Grasshopper Posted July 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2017 Gave his all was absolutely shit responsible for a lot of dissorder in the defence resposible for nothing going forward but he gave his all A bit like hitting the green in 2 shots on a par5 only to take 3 putts at the hole and still not get it in.

Condimentalist Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hutton has been a good servant. His attitude is spot on, even if his ability is limited. With De Laet, Bree and Bacuna if needed we're probably OK without him now - but if he does go he'd do so with my best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I'd keep him. Whilst Bree has a lot of potential he has a lot of learning to do. Hutton despite his poor final ball still offers a lot more. He is hard to beat and offers an excellent outlet. At times last year, he would dribble out from defence, taking on a couple of players and easing pressure on the team. I know we have De Leat, but he's never impressed me and I think his final ball is just as bad as Huttons. Plus he is returning from a long term injury and may take another year to fully recover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Getting rid of Hutton would be huge progress. Currently, playing Aston Villa is easy. Mark or otherwise close down the 9 other outfield players and leave Hutton free. Ball makes way to Hutton. Job done. People keep mistaking effort and blood/guts for simple footballing intelligence. Hutton is a moron in football terms and is symptomatic of why Aston Villa is now a run of the mill championship club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton is a moron in football terms and is symptomatic of why Aston Villa is now a run of the mill championship club. 100% It seemed to me that the opposition would deliberately allow Hutton as far forward as possible knowing he would 1- fall over 2- lose possesion 3- missplace his final pass or 4- cross to nobody. With Hutton now out of position it was easy to stretch our players either across the pitch or force gaps between the lines. I cant believe that Hutton himself or Bruce constantly allowed this to happen time & time again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
