De Laet is the most suited to covering lb

Alan Nixon reckons Hutton is off to Wednesday

Not my favourite player at all, though I'd have thought that ideally we'd want de Laet fit and for Bree to have ripened a little more

We'll still have Elmohamady and Bacuna who can cover at RB if those two aren't available.

Bruce expected to trim first team seniors to 20 with 6 youth players in the squad...
Seniors;
Johnstone,
Bunn,
Bree,
De Laet,
Taylor,
Terry,
Samba,
Chester,
Baker,
Jedinak,
Hourahane,
Lansbury,
Adomah,
Bjarnasson,
Elhamody,
Whelan,
Hogan,
Grealish,
Kodjia,
New forward.

Youth players
LB...?
Toner,
Green,
Hepburn Murphy,
GK...?
Another...?

Off
Hutton, Amavi, Bacuna, Richards, Elphick, Cissoko, Veretout, Tshibola, Gill, Sanchez, Gardner, Agbonlahor, McCormack....?



I would keep Hutton, Bacuna, Elphick and McCormack. I think Gabby and Gardner's time is up at the club. As for the others, that is the problem with the transfer windows. We either get rid or are stuck with them till January.

I can see the case for keeping Bacuna because of his versatility, but if the other three are nowhere near the starting team then we might as well move them on if possible as they'll all be on decent wages.

I'd bite the bullet now with Hutton, but I supposed I'd understand if we wait to see how Bree and De Laet are shaping up, and then re-explore the matter in January.

If anyone offers any kind of money for Hutton we have to bite their hands off. ANY money.

He's pony.

Holte End would go into mourning if he left.

Sat there for the QPR game and was amazed at the hero worship he was getting, about 70% of the chants were directed at him!

I know, but rest easy knowing the same folks that sing about him still sing about Gabby as well.

Hutton will do for me. I like his commitment and I think the criticism of his quality/game is over the top. At least he shows some passion and some bollocks.

Hutton and quality are two words that should never appear in the same sentence. A Hutton cross is a replica of a Rugby Union try conversion attempt.
