Hutton has been very good, bordering on excellent in the last few games

Not ideal, especially as Richards and Hutton are probably on big wages. Hutton must have a very good agent or Lambert and co. must have been incredibly niaive for a contract like that to be agreed.It's doubtful that Lambert agreed his contract... If he said he wanted him others would have agreed the salary

can someone just confirm that it is a 1 year deal until next summerLooks like I will not bother with a season ticket until 2018 - 19 as hopefully by then both Hutton and Gabby will be gone (the thought of watching these 2 in the side next season is horrendous)
He's poor but he's not League 1 standard which many of our team (squad) are.
I just don't understand how people can suddenly go from thinking Hutton is the worst right back in the last 20 years, to now thinking that we have the new Messi at right back? maybe I am just fickle like so many other football fansHe was awful the day we signed from Spurs (they could not believe they got so much for him) and he certainly has not improved.But for me he would have to play a lot better than he is for me to change my opinion on him!He runs forwards and then stops and either goes back or passes it square (not always to 1 of our players)
I really don't get the criticism over the contract, it has become standard in contracts since Bosman that you sign a player for a period and then the club have an option for extension based upon a clause, generally a good amount of appearances, being met...it's the club protecting its assets.If they hadn't wanted Hutton to stay then he would have been left out before the clause was met...its not like we haven't had Bacuna sat there for half the season doing nothing that could have played there.Personally I'm no Hutton fan because I think his constant marauding forward with little to no end product completely unbalances the defence when he is frequently out of position but I do believe that Bruce is happy to retain him for another year.DeLaet will have been out for thick end of a year so he isn't going to hit the ground running, he'll take a good few weeks/months to get back to his best & every chance there will be the odd muscle injury in his rehab - and Bree might very well be seen long term as a centre half or defensive midfielder so seems sensible to keep Hutton around for another year....where it will be sad is if this time next year he is still first choice RB!
