But he didnt because he doesnt believe in himself enough to take a pay cut and prove himself at a new club.He is probably frozen out because of appearance fees or some such in his contract.Hutton is just acting the same way Shay Given is, I find it a bit annoying Hutton gets abuse but Shay doesnt.I've not seen newspaper articles where Given is moaning about a lack of first team football despite turning down opportunities in the summer. What's wrong with that?

You can tell it's the international break, can't you? We've resorted to discussing Alex "Gds save us" McClueless and Alan "chopper" Hutton. Bring on the Baggies!
We can't cut players like NFL teams as contract have to be honoured. But you can't blame the players who sign the contract as long they give it all on training ground and behave themselves.
Gentlemen. You may have observed in this mornings rags that Mr Roberto De Matteo (the noted manager) is trousering something like £130,000 a week from Chelsea for doing nothing. At least Hutton and Given are training as per their contract!

I imagine the Miami Dolphins are wishing they could cut Richie Incognito right now.
It's also worth noting that had he joined Mallorca, he would have still been on best part of a million a year. It's not like he would have been slumming it.

What's wrong with that?Nothing. The point is that I have seen Hutton quotes where he moans about not getting first team football. Given's been nothing but a total professional and doesn't deserve the label of 'parasite'. It's a harsh tag on Hutton too but I don't see how one minute he can turn down a move to somewhere where he would get first team football and then moan to the media about a lack of first team opportunities. Basically he had a choice - regular football or money. He chose money, which is fair enough but he shouldn't then moan about regular football having turned that down. Someone else in the same position (and Given has done just this) would take a pay cut to get regular football. In my mind that's the sensible thing to do because they can rebuild their career and potentially get a move in future where they will be back on good pay but getting regular football again. It's also worth noting that had he joined Mallorca, he would have still been on best part of a million a year. It's not like he would have been slumming it.
