Dr_Pangloss Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Fantastic decision that I must applaud. If we go up he has no place here, if we don't go up well next season he's older and frankly given his wages an extension will surely have us paying too much for a fullback at this level. He'll be fairly easy to replace at this level anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted February 2, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2018 If he does go in the summer I’ll miss tackles like this. He certainly didn’t miss Berahino’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton asked the situation and Bruce has said he is not in a position to offer new contracts to anyone at this moment in time until we know which division we are in and that huttons situation may change but if we fail to go up he says there will be cuts which I think we all knew .

If we don't go up we need to cut our cloth accordingly and he'll get better offers elsewhere judging by how crippled we will be with FPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should also be cuts if we go up. Very wise from the club to do this and we are being run very astutely this season which is great to see. We look in a very healthy position if we do make promotion in terms of not having tonnes of players in the squad on big contracts who are just not good enough at that level anymore.

In other words, there is no story here about Hutton specifically being refused a contract, he is just subject to the same policy as everyone else. Most of the discussion on the last few pages had been misplaced and represents time lost that can never be regained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 He really divides opinion doesn’t he. No way was he awful today. Yes lost his man for the goal, but the whole defence switched off for that, the ball should never have got in and Terry jumped with lead boots. But the rest of the game he was good. Made numerous interceptions, didn’t get beat, pressed forward well, put some good through balls the channels, linked up with jack and adomah and stepped out of defence when needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) I hope if we go up we give him a 1 year extension, i think he has done enough to earn that, although i appreciate for large passages of his Villa career he has been dreadful.

Yep looks very good at this level and could do for another couple of years yet. He would severely struggle in the PL imo, as would many of our current first team.

It does happen to us.....ball watching as opposed to watching their man. good job the opposition do it too. Edited February 3, 2018 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
