Reading some of the comments on here you would think Hutton has miraculously transformed into Lahm and Zabaleta combined. He has been ok nothing more. 3 year deal is silly.

But not as silly as offering serial underachiever Agbonlahor an even longer contract.

Gabby has if anything achieved more than I expected. He has over the years won us important games with crucial goals. He has played in positions he has not been accustomed too. He came through as a central striker with pace and a knack for goal. He has been a very good player for us and we miss him when he does not play well. I feel at times because of the roles he is asked to play he will be criticised more than most.
He deserves his contract.

As for Hutton I never rated and was not a fan before we signed him. However his years in the shadows have made me feel more warmly to him. His professionalism has been outstanding after the way the club has outcast him for I think the financial reasons. He has shown he is a good full back and bloody hell those words 'good full back' have barely been uttered here at B^ for some time. He might not be the best, but he's very good and very committed and a bloody good pro. His contract is deserved as well too.

All about opinions, but no way did gabby deserve such a long contract.

He simply doesn't do enough.

He has cost us points in the last 2 games by simply not being awake.

His pace got him the goal on Monday, which is great, but he has little other assets.

Its ok recalling his goals against Norwich etc. They were important, but he offers very little otherwise and when he isn't scoring

Gabby was partly at fault for the goal against Southampton but he should have been left up front and not making way for Darren Bent. It was a ridiculous substitution to expect your centre forward to suddenly become a midfielder at that point in the game.

Gabby also lost possession very easily at a crucial point in the game at Burnley, which led directly to Burnley getting in our box and getting the penalty to equalise.

Just not good enough for an experienced forward, captain and Villa fan!

On thread...Hutton had a very good game again and seems to be doing his bit to repay the contract given.

[supertom]

Hutton and Guzan have been my players of the season so far. Probably by some distance to be honest.

[Ron Manager]

Senderos has also impressed but Hutton has been our best player by a distance.

Yeah, my only complaint about big Phil is how many games he's missed.

He was sound until his injury then there has been no sight

Yeah and McGrath only knows when he'll be back.

Senderos has been injured mist of his career it's hardly a shock. Good player on his day.

[PeterWithesShin]

Yet another good performance from Hutton tonight.

[OCD]

He certainly seems good with the defensive side of the game. I'm not so sure in the few glimpses I've seen of him going forward but those are so seldom these days.

[Gregorys Boy]

Think the key to Hutton's good first half of the season is that he is doing the simple things really well, and is a good pro.  He does not panic like the younger players.

[ozzjim]

Panic is the word.  In fairness Okore doesn't either but Cissokho and Clark are like rabbits in  headlights. Thought Hutton was truly outstanding last night.

[peter w]

Threatening going forward? I really don't see it. No balls whipped into the box, the link up play is usually a cut back and sideways or backwards ball, no overlaps, no breaking intop the box. I think Hutton is very poor at it and it may be that he's asked to hold back.
