mmrfc1873 48 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I like them both, but in my honest opinion, Whittaker is better defensive wise but not so great in the attacking sence, Hutton is fantastic at attacking but tbh rather poor at the defensive stuff from what ive seen on a good few occasions with spurs, who would you rather have ?

Just don't see that at all - Whittaker is poor for me defensively. He is also not that quick so can't recover when he gets out of position, unlike Hutton. Whittaker is an excellent finisher, though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,277 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 They are both similar in that they like to get forward. I happen to like Whittaker but Hutton is the better player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djgazbcm 55 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 whittaker offers much more going forward,he can finish ,has a trick or two,the tims are actually starting to hate him and hes 2 footed... why would you prefer hutton?????? he ran forward with pace,, then? ,hardly an end product,no tricks ,the tims laughed at him(when he ran out of grass),and no left foot... ask yourself this then,,at this moment in time ,do we miss him??

djgazbcm 55 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 and then dont ignore this ,,for a good season,hutton was a scapegoat,most moaning about he wasnt good enough,then he got a bit of confidence and started playing,all of a sudden he was god... whittaker is starting to gain that confidence ,and will give more to us than hutton could....ie.goals,flexibility and a brain..

cooper1989 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Whittaker -- I believe -- is a better Footballer than Hutton. Hutton going forward was and is generally out of control. Folks on here that are 'slagging 'Whittaker aren't giving him near enough credit. 2 great feet.... can dribble, pass and tackle too. And.. his best is still a ways off for him. Future is bright.

cooper1989 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 You're right mate.. difficult. But let's look at it this way. Hutton was superb for us.. no doubt.

Yer right there ! somethin whittaker hasnt done yet , Alan hutton by miles , his pace and defending is far better than whittaker and he could go by men better , 1 footed or not he always went by 3 or 4 men at a time but whittaker is more skillful and much better finisher and i think he could surpass hutton but not yet anyway.

Bluedell 14 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hutton is a far better defender. He also adds more with his driving forward runs on a consistent basis. Whittaker may score the odd spectaular goal, but Hutton adds more froman attacking sense. Hutton deserved his price tag at the time, and is correctly judged on that. That's the difference. Whittaker wouldn't be worth anywhere near that, and that demonstrates the difference in the players' qualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
