Ah yes I see it now....call for the code breakers at Bletchley ...we may have a mole here
So, assuming he keeps up this level of performance - at what point (if any) do we think about offering him a new contract?
Yes I am sure that conversation will go down well. Lambert-"Hey Alan here's a deal you can't refuse. I know you have been brilliant this season so far and arguably amongst the best full backs in the PL. I know we have also royally fucked you around for the last two years and you've remained professional about it. How about sticking around for another two seasons and taking a 50% pay cut?"Hutton - silence, clickLambert - "Alan...Alan..."

He's out of contract at the end of this season, so it'll be a "keep him or let him go" decision of some sort.
