read that the journalist A Nixon has tweeted that Villa want £1m for Hutton and Wednesday want him on a free transfer, this could be 1 of the outs that Dr Tony is referring too?

I saw that tweet, but I'm very confused by it. We are trying to sell a player for 1million whose contract apparently expired at the end of June?

Alan Hutton is set to prolong his Aston Villa stay after triggering a contract extension.

Steve Bruce revealed the news at his press conference today ahead of Villa's Championship trip to Rotherham United.

Hutton has experienced an eventful claret and blue career, falling in and out of favour since being signed by Alex McLeish in August 2011.

Bruce said: "What he sees is what you get. He has done very well and has triggered a point in his contract for another year. I am delighted for him."

Well we still have around 35 first team players, waaaaay too many, we need to trim that by something close to 10 players.

Shit, it's not that much, is it?

4 goalkeepers
Bunn
Steer
Johnstone ? Possibly signing within 48 hours
Gollini (On loan forever, we may still be covering a portion of his wages)

11 defenders
Richards
De Laet
Hutton
Bree
Terry
Cissokho
Taylor
Baker
Elphick
Chester
Toner

13 Midfielders
Bacuna
Lansbury
Gardner
Hourihane
Bjarnason
Jedinak
Green
Grealish
Veretout
Gil
Adomah
Lyden
Tshibola

6 Forwards
McCormack
Agbonlahor
Hogan
Kodjia
Hepburn Murphy
Davis
 

makes depressing reading does that squad, not a lot there worth getting excited about

That's the spirit (wrote it myself before someone else did)

I think the main floor in Adomah's game is that he's not the quickest and he could weigh in with a few more goals but I thought he did ok overall last season. I definitely wouldn't call him no good.

He's a very good player at this level but I think the Championship is his ceiling.

Haha, very good.

Apparently,Burnley are willing to pay 2.5M for Whelan - sounds fishy as I'm sure 1M would be enough

I trout that story is true.

He had a clause allowing him to extend for one year which he invoked and SB said he was happy about it and that "Alan Hutton picks himself'. That was what was reported anyway.

Nursey from The Mirror saying Rednapp 'keen' on Elphick on Twitter.  They'd all love his pre match post heading/kicking/whatever he does ritual.

I saw Elphick in Knowle this afternoon. He didn't look very happy tbh.

Does that mean he's not in Portugal with the rest of them, or are they all back?

He's meant to be there but he's miles out of position.

It takes some kind of mind to envisage a dream-team midfield pairing of Glenn Whelan and Ashley Westwood.
I know they need to replace Joey Barton but surely Sean Dyche would rather resurrect a Mark Kinsella-Oyvind Leonhardsen combo than Westy and Glenn?
