Can I just say I like Alan Hutton.. I've met him umpteen times up Solihull.. a nice geezer.

What does he have to say for himself?

Seen him up Solihull a few times. He loves a Millies cookie or two which may explain why he slowed down a bit.

When the only compliment people have of Hutton is that he works hard it is the very definition of putting lipstick on a pig. Hutton is a pig of a footballer

🐷

He tries though, and he's saved our bacon a few times. Often displays pork-ontrol though.

He sounds just like the sort of person every office/company has, nice bloke but just not very good at his job, we all know one or several!

This clearly comes down to perspective but I'd rather pay to watch a team containing Alan Hutton than Micah Richards.

That's like saying you'd rather lose a toe than a finger, neither of them should be anywhere near the first team.

We signed a replacement so that one is just unfortunate rather than incompetent.

But they are and at the moment I'd rather Bruce concentrates on sorting out our horrendous midfield which might actually contribute towards an improvement in our form rather than worrying about a right back who with all the will in the world won't really change much and will actually, in theory, become surplus to requirements once De Laet is back.

but it does change things, Hutton wastes fuck loads of possession and there are 1-2 chances for the opposition every game because of his mistakes.  Yes he's surplus to requirements when de laet is back but that's not going to help us this season.  If teams actually have to worry about us getting crosses in from the right and can't just shepherd him down the line until he gives it away it might give us a bit more space elsewhere.  Yes we need to deal with midfield, literally no one is disagreeing with that but if we want to give ourselves the best chance possible of getting back up this year we need to replace Hutton in this window.

Hutton is shit, a pass to him should count as a pass to the opposition as that's the next destination for the ball anyway. Get him gone in the summer.

One gripe o have is the commentators when they discuss Hutton during our games. Recently I've heard how he's done wellto getback in favour under Bruce......
He's only back 'in favour' as our first choice RB is out for the season. A stat the commentators fail to recognise
