There is one small positive about him not being offered a new contract.  Surely it means Gabriel won’t be getting a new one either.  Such a contrast in professionalism.

According to the OS Hutton is back in full training.

We miss him. The back up in his position isn't bad by any means, but his rampaging runs give defences something else to think about and make it less easy to mark the attacking midfielders out of the game. We know his runs rarely have any end product, but defences still can't just leave him to run riot. Strangely, he seems to often win a free kick now as well, although a foul on Hutton always seems an unlikely thing to me!

....and I was going to say - if he is out of contract and too expensive, can't we just offer him a less expensive contract? It's not like anyone else is going to pay him what we were at this stage in his career, and he seems to love it here (now).

I just don't get the love in with Hutton - can anyone tell me when we have scored directly from one of his bazooka crosses (and i don't mean when the ball has bounced off 5 players and rebounds to someone on the edge of box to score)

For me he runs 20 yards forwards stops and then passes it square-i am dreading Cardiff, if Warnock remembers the game well at their place - then Junior Hoillett will be starting (he put Hutton on his backside) and had his head spinning, so much he was dizzy! also the same against Norwich (can't remember that players name), i seem to remember when he was substituted, the crowd cheered - but we are not fickle LOL - the club have made the right decision - I am sure that Hutton will find another Championship club for the next 2 years, I am just glad that it wont be ours.

He even has his name sung when he takes a throw in (ridiculous) he is no John Gidman / Kenny Swain.

Well, being one of our better and most consistent players for the last few years has helped.

He’s done very well at left back, is considerably better than Taylor and we seem to perform better as a team when he plays.

I think most people are aware of his limitations, but he has been a good player for us for quite a while now and one of the few to come through the bad years with his head held high.

Not a chance in hell.

Him and Tuanzebe are fit for the Easter games.

I fully understand not offering him a contract if we go up, but surely he's an asset at this level and should get another one?

I’m not sure why we wouldn’t offer him a one year deal either way.
