Agree but he's bloody Franz Beckenbauer compared to our current lot

Happy with that. No nonsense, hard case, defensive full back. Maybe the bit of grit we need.

Eh? Not the Hutton I've seen. He's good going forwards, but not so good defensively.

Because our back four currently comprises Paolo Maldini, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Moore and Carlos Alberto of course.

Well clearly not, my point being more that a steady solid player ala Dawson and McNaughton would possibly be of more benefit to us. I accept that beggars can't be choosers though.

As a fan of a club who would kill to have a West Brom reserve and a Cardiff player none of us had ever heard of 6 months ago in our team to be honest I'd be delighted to take an Aston Villa cast off.

It remains sad that less than 2 years ago we beat Villa away, but there you go.

Wasn't Zat Knight an Aston Villa cast off?

And Brian Small, and The Badger, and Reo-Coker, and Jay Lloyd Samuel. In fact, are we Aston Villa's clearing yard?

I was teasing the lad. Stop being all serious

Good quality player is Hutton and he would certainly improve the team (but saying that its not hard to improve is it)....but I thought that we didn't have a pot to piss in.

Villa are looking to get his £40k a week wages off their books, surely we can't afford much more than £5k a week (maybe £10k a week at the absolute max until the end of the season ?) so why would they get rid if we are only paying a small percentage of his wages.

Mind if he does come in and scores against the Dingles, instant hero

Lord Kangana · Post by **Lord Kangana** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 11:41 am

So lets get this straight. We've punted out Andrews, a perfectly reasonable midfielder, but are still paying his wages (£20k isn't it? aren't we?), have frozen out a perfectly good fullback in Mears (whats he on, lets keep the fantasy up and say £20k/w) and are now contemplating paying something towards the whopping £40k/w that Hutton is on. Who, like Moritz, will probably take half a season to get match fit.

And all we hear is about the parlous state of our finances, how we can no longer get expensive players in, how its imperative that we trim our wage budget to the bone, because its so massive.

Is our club now officially run from top to bottom by utter f*cking idiots?

Nothing against Hutton but if we're shopping at VillaMart I was thinking more of Joe Bennett - Rochdale-born 22-y-o left-back with tier-two experience for Boro. Mind, he's appeared in their last three, either in the XI or off the bench, despite them borrowing Plastic Bertrand.

the Mears one is something that stick in my craw. A well paid reasonable defender who has effectively been put on permanent gardening leave, whilst we have a guy playing at RB who is regularly targeted to good effect by the opposition, is bewildering.
I know DF has said he isn't his idea of a FB so clearly doesn't rate him, but I can't help feeling that there must be something more to it - even dougie can't have such a cockeyed view of a player, could he ?

TKIZ! · Post by **TKIZ!** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 12:39 pm

I'm liking the revisionist history were Mears has become "a reasonable Right back".

Please remind me what happened Mears was involved in a game against Blackburn?

c'mon fella - judgements on 1 game etc. My recollections of that game was that the defensive unit was all over the place, in our narrow midfield he was being asked to cover the entire right flank and on the day was up against a pretty quick and strong winger who was on his game.

No-one is perfect but I'd still rather have him there than Baptiste
