...and we may as well push the boat out for a new RB too please!
I'm with KRS. It's a need not a want

Hutton had a great season.  What's all the clamor for a right back?  he's done more than enough to justify his chance.
I agree, he's solid and pretty reliable.

Reliable as in he'll turn up in time for kick off?

As a defensive full back Hutton is far better than Bacuna. Although he motors into opposition territory he only rarely puts in a decent cross. I would much prefer to see Richards at full back. He is not big enough to play centre half and doesn't give the impression of being safe. A bit like Okore in that respect.

My view was that AH had a decent return from the bomb squad at first in a very poor team but then faded rapidly as soon as the ball started going forwards more, he then reverted to type and started assaulting people ;-)  His main problem is an inability to cross the ball - that is not his game I know but it is what we need!

Would agree with that, his form tailed off badly last season around the time of the West Brom cup game when he should have sent off. Really poor going forward which is surprising as that is how he made his name way back, the Scotch Cafu or something like that.

I know he wasnt the only one but he was disgracefully bad in the cup final

Kyle Walker to return please

If it's Scotch we're having I'll have a Johnny not Kyle Walker thanks very much.

If Tim can get him playing as he was at Spurs when he scored 14 in 28 games he can be just as effective as Benteke. When Adebayor is on his game he's a real handful - a big tall guy at 6'3''. He's dangerous on crosses and can shoot with both feet. I think he'll respond to Tim who seems to have a midas touch with strikers out of form.

I recall people saying the same thing when we signed Collymore. I used to look at them with incredulity.

If you think Hutton is a bit agricultural at right back I really cant understand the clamour to see Richards there, he can control it further than Hutton can kick it.

Bringing Adebayor into the club equates to the Roy Keane scenario.Things will be going well for a while and posters on all forums will be lauding Tim Sherwood up to the heavens.Then
it will kick off and we will find it was not such a good idea after all.
Still, at least we didn't buy him outright!

Cheer up Mr U.   The season ahead at least will contain lots of stuff to keep us interested.   Anything is better than the back to back TSMs and their turgid, negative, boring defeatism.   Some of Tim's signings will be comedy acts, that is the nature of the game but others will stir the blood.   Marlon was useless but how we cheered when he celebrated after winning a corner in front of the Holte.

Or he might be a roaring success under Sherwood. We'll find out won't we?
