RandomGuy. Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No idea why we'd want to try our first/second best right back in a role where he'd be about sixth or seventh in the pecking order regardless of performance. Totally bizarre thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Any reason why Hutton was punted on loan because of this clause but is now starting for Villa this season? Has he waived the clause in his contract? Waverley has been heaving today with the tartan army. Jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chairmans desperate to sell, so has loosened the purse strings and allowed the high earners previously frozen out (Hutton, N'Zogia, Bent) to play regardless of cost as he wants to make Villa as attractive as possible to potential buyers.

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Villa weren't not selecting Hutton because he wasn't good enough, otherwise why is he playing now. His contract stipulated a much improved one would be taken up after a number of first team appearances. This would cost Villa millions, this was when they were signing players from lower divisions on much lower wages in order to reduce the obscene spending O'Neill had done. I don't think you understand that playing fullbacks as wingers is complete idiocy. He hasn't played there at club level, why don't we try Kirk Broadfoot as a striker while we are at it. ETA: spelling Idiocy? To try something in a friendly? No problem caveman. Let's not try anything different then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I think Hutton has done pretty well for Scotland recently. If Robertson was available, Scotland could put out a half decent 3-5-2, seeing as its come back in fashion. Mulgrew could play the sweeper role. -----------------McGregor-------------------- -----Martin------Mulgrew------Hanley Hutton--------Fletcher---------Robertson ------------Brown------McArthur----------- ------------------Naismith-------------------- ------------------Fletcher------------------- Euro championship winning team that. As it is, with Robertson and Brown out, its going to be Naismith up front on his own. Steven Fletcher out and bring in Morrison, Bannan and probably Maloney. Would prefer to see Craig Forsyth and Craig Bryson get a chance, and Johnny Russell must be worth a call up seeing as he can play out wide or through the middle.

Bobby Skidmarks Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Idiocy? To try something in a friendly? No problem caveman. Let's not try anything different then. Why on earth would you play someone out of position and in an area where we have depth, in a friendly? Friendlies should be used for blooding new players, formations and tactics. If Hutton was as flexible as you seem to imagine, then would you not think throughout his club career a manager might have tried it rather than his International manager at the age of 29? You have a bizarre idea of forward thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevthedee Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Honest to f**k. I know I go on but are all Rangers fans absolute fucking idiots??? I mean surely surely surely they can see that a guy who's been playing in the lower leagues of Scotland for the past 3 seasons and has looked pretty average in the SCOTTISH CHAMPIONSHIP should not be playing against the fucking World Champions of football? Come on tae f**k QOTS one week to Thomas Muller the next are they fucking stupid??? Genuinely canna even be arsed, what did Scotland do to deserve these muppets? Apologies to any sane Rangers fan reading this. (If they exist) Robertston was lower league then one season with utd when he played for scotland so your point is crap about wallace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Robertston was lower league then one season with utd when he played for scotland so your point is crap about wallace Robertson has only been anywhere near the Scotland team since he was playing great football at Dundee United and now for Hull. He's also been playing extremely good football unlike Wallace who hasn't been anything special in the Championship so far or really over the past few years.

Getting Scotland's weakest position which is centre-half and playing as many centre halves as possible, whilst getting Scotland's strongest position of attacking midfield and playing only one of them. Inspirational stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryhorce Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thought we would have had a friendly arranged and got a look at guys like Arfield Russell Forsyth Paterson ect guys playing well at a good level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspirational stuff. Put Naismith up top with Maloney in behind him if you want another attacking mid in there. Although players like Morrison and Bannan are decent, I dont think they are worth building a whole team around. Morrison especially hasnt offered enough as an attacking threat for Scotland. We are weak at CH, thats why 3 in there might help to shore it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Certainly worked for Man United. Admitted. Their players certainly havent adapted to it and theres no guarantee Scotland would either, however, I think it would help that we look to play more of a counter attacking system in more games. Liverpool used it well last year, with more teams in the EPL looking to copy Holland this season. Im not suggesting we should go for it against Germany, but would like to see it given a go in a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If Shinnie played for Aberdeen or Dundee United he would be in there. If Reynolds played for Inverness he wouldn't. Simple Really? Go and stick a list up of United and Aberdeen players who have been capped in competitive games in the last 10 years to back up your theory.

Go and stick a list up of United and Aberdeen players who have been capped in competitive games in the last 10 years to back up your theory. Levein was certainly keener to call up United players because he knew them but dont think other managers have looked on us more favourably in recent years than other teams. Shinnie's a decent player who I would like United to have signed to replace Robertson but think hes a wee bit off an international call up. Certainly Robertson and Forsyth should be shoe-ins ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
