Maybe when Hutton and the club spoke he decided he wanted it to be made public?

Nooooo.

Not the Scottish Cafu.


We can’t let him go and keep players who don’t do anything much like Micah or Gabby.

Is he going?  Hope not.   Never our  best player but the most committed which is just as valuable.

Unfortunately Micah has a contract to fall back on which we can’t get out of and isn’t Gabby out of contract at the end of the season too ?

Hutton is my current favourite Villa player, I would rather we kept him another season or two. He is easily our best fullback and always puts in a shift. I will be sad to see him go.

I will miss the way he takes a throw in, and occasionally runs 20 yards forward and stops and passes the ball 2 yards (to occasionally one of our players)

He is best going to Boro on his 2 year deal, Pullis will love him!

I'd take him over Richards or Agbonlahor any day of the week.

Do those two even bother turning up anymore.

Apologies - I forget Gabby is due for his 5 monthly wheel out for the SHA game.

Can’t fault his effort & he has made that left back role his own mainly due to the ineptitude of Taylor giving him the chance but the reality is if we are in the Prem he is nowhere near good enough & if we are in the Championship we need something different playing there.

Always said with Hutton he is world class in the middle third of the pitch but the attacking third his output is pants and the defensive third is at best adequate.

Sure the conversations will have been had with all those out of contract and Terry aside I’m sure they will all have been told they will be released, it’s courtesy to give them maximum time to find a new club and the drip feeding of the info on Hutton smacks very much of an agent starting to hawk his client.

What I will say for Hutton is I don’t expect this to affect his performances, he strikes me as the type who will be determined to show the club it’s a mistake.

I’m also sure if we go up the club will reach an agreement with Richards to terminate his deal, if we stay in this league I’m equally sure he will still be here this time next year.

Cheaper as well I would have thought.

If we don't go up surely Bree needs to step up and perform to replace Hutton.

If we go up I'd like to see us try to get Sessegnon from Fulham as the replacement at left back.  He looks a fantastic prospect but wouldn't be cheap.

Sessegnon will be heading for a top 6 side or one of the big sides in Europe, he isn't going to be joining Villa.
