disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 He's going to get sold and i for one cant argue with it,It's to much money to turn down. He's not the 1st player we thought we couldn't do without!,he'll just join a long list of players that have played for the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcs 1 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah. Why the feck do Spurs need Hutton right now anyway. They have nothing to play for. Their season is over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Would of thought that he would of trained as a result of being suspended and the fact that he'll probably be rested in the Scottish at the weekend to keep up his fitness and sharpness?

Rohan 23 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Everyone's saying, Oh sell for 10mil so we can buy quality players. The only reason we would be forcing Hutton out is to put that money into other areas of the club. I wouldn't expect any of his transfer money to go towards future transfers.

Muff 245 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah. Why the feck do Spurs need Hutton right now anyway. They have nothing to play for. Their season is over. Their defence is a shambles, Chimbonda could be for the off as Ramos wants to play him at CB plus teams interested, the fact that Hutton will probably improve them. Also they are challenging for the FA and Carling Cup while trying to sneak a UEFA Cup spot for next season. Plus I think Hutton could play for them in the UEFA this season even although he played for us in the CL? Maybe trying to get him before the big clubs come for him?

Cloudstrife3139 0 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'd prefer Hutton to stay, at least till the end of the season, and then he can move on. Who knows maybe a bigger club will come in for him and we'll get more money. Hopefully the story is just mince, but i'll be glad when the window closes and he's still here.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,771 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 People are saying that selling our best player shows a lack of ambition by WS and SDM, but what worries me more is the lack of stomach to fight for our reputation as a big club. We always talk about how big a club we are and how we harbour ambitions of getting into the latter stages of Europe every year but the harsh reality is that big clubs who want to compete at the highest level should never be selling their best players, never mind for what is a partly eight million. Creaming oursleves over getting eight million for a player who has had standout performances against every team he has played against in the past six months is embarassing and just shows why we are considered as a backwater team, playing in a backwater league by everybody in world football. To put it in context Andy Johnson cost Everton 8.6 miilion, Bellamy cost West Ham 7.25 million, Kamara cost Fulham over 6 million, Zakora cost Spurs about 8 million. Although he is pretty untested and is still only seen as a talent, Dinamo Moscow have slapped a 20 odd million price tag on Luka Modric FFS Modric aside, Is Hutton at the same level as these players? Like fuck he is, he's beyond them! He's younger and far more consistant and we should be making Spurs pay what the going rate in their league would be. Perosnally I think that the mint would rather keep his buddy Daniel Levy happy and that plays a part in why we accepted what is only a reasonable offer and why SDM is now apparantly pushing for him to move so much. It's not for the good of the club. The real motive is to keep his mate onside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likeacare 9 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah. Why the feck do Spurs need Hutton right now anyway. They have nothing to play for. Their season is over. They want him now in case he stays until the summer when even more clubs will be interested in him, especially if he continious to improve at his current rate and he helps us win the title. We should keep him until the summer unless someone offers 12m in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 9 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 A couple of thoughts: 1: Sky sports runs the same story, but it's an entirely different context, saying that Hutton has completely rejected and Smith is dismissing the rumours the move is back on. Walter Smith has moved to dismiss rumours that Alan Hutton may be set to sign for Tottenham after all, despite speculation that the Premier League side are preparing a second bid. The Scottish international rejected an £8million move to White Hart Lane last Thursday, but after missing Rangers' training session on Monday, there was speculation that the London club had reignited their interest and that the player may actually be set to make the move south. However, Gers boss Smith insists that Hutton was just given the day off to rest after a hectic season and that after speaking to the player he is confident of being able to call on his services for the remainder of the campaign. Indication "Our indication from Alan is that he'd turned them down," Smith told the Daily Record. "That is where we are at. That's what he told us so we take his word for that. "Obviously there are football aspects and financial aspects to any prospective transfer deal. Delighted "Nobody here wanted Alan to leave for football reasons. "But when you get offered that kind of money there is a situation where it becomes an acceptable deal, from a financial point of view. "That was why we accepted the bid. But we were delighted when he decided to stay." Strengthening With Hutton seemingly set to remain at Ibrox, Smith can now concentrate on trying to add to his squad during the January transfer window. "The transfer window is simple, if we find a player that is better than those we have then we'll endeavour to go for him to improve the team," he said. "If I can't get anyone of that nature, I won't sign anyone. I feel we have a fairly large squad and if we don't lose any of them then we are not badly off. "I've already tried for one or two and been knocked back. Of course we are interested in improving the team. But if I feel we can't then I'm not going to sign players for the sake of it." All the same quotes, but quite a different take on the same story, don't you think? 2: I cannot believe a story by Queers is receiving this much airtime and credibility from you guys.

As much as I want to walk up to him and beat the sh*t outta him, it will give him publicity he get's off on. As for Al... I want him to stay... If Boum goes for £8mil Al's worth about £20mil though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest therabbitt Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ramos is known for playing with fantastic wingers and attacking full backs playing off an athletic and mobile target man with an awful lot of width - kind of like how we are trying to play at the minute! - Ramos must see a similar player to Dani Alves in Alan Hutton! Half a year ago a statement like that one would have been laughed at out of hand, wheras now we can believe that Al can only get better!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcs 1 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 So first SDM "personally requested" Alan Hutton to stay, and now he's urging him to go? I wish the media would make their minds up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 In the Daily Record Today it said that utton was meeting with SDM who was going to IMPROVE Huttons contract - I alos NOTE in this thread the 2 different contexts that the same quotes have led to with Queers being a different spin to the story from Sky - only time will tell who is right - Rangers do tend to only discuss thinks after the fact and dont add to the rumour mill as much as some - this can be frustrating as we all want to know what is going on but as these discussions - like others - can have an ebb and flow to them I don't think Rangers stance on only dealing with post event anouncements is unjustified.
