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.

He just runs head down for about forty yards before either:

a) delivering a massively overshot or underhit cross
b) passing to a defender
c) literally just runnning straight into the opposition

All of that has some truth but he lifts the team and the crowd with those efforts. If we had 10 others showing a similar level of commitment then he would not stand out but unfortunately we don't, or at leat haven't had, and that is why he is appreciated.

I'd rather he just controlled the ball ans passed it to someone who can play. He's an attacking right back, who whenever he attacks, I already know the attack is five seconds away from breaking down

Rumours hotting up about McCormack to Sunderland

Not sure if we need to show a net income from
Here under FFP? But I imagine we'll get another forward - hopefully someone who can play back to goal and be a threat in the air, even if someone who's "very championship"

McCormack's drop-off was pretty spectacular last season. 

Didn't he have something like the highest chance creation stats in the division until about mid October?

Both he and Ayew struggled to make much of an impression under Bruce. Decent players, but if the manager isn't going anywhere it makes sense that McCormack follows Ayew out the door.

He didn't make any impression under RDM either - I always thought we bought him simply to stop someone else buying him, without any plan as to how to utilize his skill set.

If McCormack  does go, I hope we can get another striker in - ideally someone with some height - Gallagher at Blackburn would be my shout.

Paul Gallagher? Bit old even for Bruce don't you think?

Sam Gallagher, the Southampton striker on loan at Blackburn last season might be a better bet.

You thinking of Kevin? Kevin Gallacher.

Monumental fail on both counts...

Kevin Gallagher would probably still be in better shape than Gabby or McCormack.

In Rudy's defence, there was a Paul Gallagher who played for Blackburn and I think he is still plying his trade somewhere.  Unless of course he meant Liam and Noel's brother.

What's the collective noun? A Gaggle of Gallaghers?

Wolves think they are going to sign Sam Gallagher despite us, Boro and wait for it.. the Rags interested in him.

Edit: Strange if true as he's just signed a new four year deal with Southampton.

Double edit: They want him on loan.
