Alan McCafu

[Fred Crump]

First bit of genuinely good news for ages. Three years ago I would never have said that but we’ve fallen a long way and also he’s proved himself to be a good player at this level. But more importantly he’s sweated blood for the club, never hidden , never sulked and as such is a great example to the young players on whom we will almost certainly now have to rely. Top bloke, much respect sir !

[UK Redsox]

This must mean that there's been offers for at least one of Elmo, RDL or Thewelshrobertocarlos

[Lastfootstamper]

Bruce staying?
We're not potless?
Taylor and or others on the way out?

Anyways, welcome back Alan. You're here seemingly only because you want to be. I like that. I like that a lot.

[Tuscans]

Get in Hutts...thank you.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Quite surprised about that. Not something I'd have done but I don't begrudge him it.

This. I think he's held us back for too long already, with not being able to add a single thing in the opposition half of the field.

But he seems a good lad with his heart in the right place.

This all day long.

Purely on his footballing ability i'm not. Believe me

I think at this level he's been superb especially playing on the other side. Much better option than Taylor, Bree or Elmo for me.

[Des Little]

I'm glad he's staying. I can think of many I'd rather shift before him.

[AsTallAsLions]

Excellent stuff. Keep him on the left and play Bree on the right. Sell Taylor or Elmohamady, whoever's left can stay as cover.

[manic-road]

I'm fine with this news, Hutton has been treated like shite by past managers and SB has got him playing pretty good in the Championship. Yes I know it's a lower level but if a few senior players leave to help the finances he could well be a pivotal player next season just to stay up.

[phantom limb]

I have to say I didn’t see this coming. Assumed he’d be part of a mass exodus, so it’s a bit of good news.

and yet ...

1. Elmo has done perfectly fine, has supplied assists and can cross a ball
2. Bree came from a team playing in a side that were sitting higher than us in the table and needs to be playing games
3. I'd agree Hutton is better at left back. But still offers absolutely zero going forward

Best left back at the club.
