Hutton

The sooner Baby Begie is back playing football the better.
Alan Hutton's been sidelined since November of last year with a foot he injury that has been a disaster for all concerned.
The good news is that he looked very fit against Iceland, was shifting untroubled up and down the wing. Some said he looked fitter than ever. He seems focused and told the Daily Record before hand, 'Back at Spurs I've been working very hard - a lot harder than the last time - knowing that these games were coming up.'
The bad news is the cloud of negative media attention that seems to hover above him. And it's no recent phenomena. As with a number of Rangers players there have been consistent reports of DontyouknowwhoIamitis from various swanky Caledonian watering holes.
Back in February he was refused admission to the Hun's Director's box and was allegedly quoted as saying, 'I'm not sitting with the punters'. This of course was eclipsed by The News Of The World reporting only a few weeks ago that a session on the lash in London had turned into a toe curling Celtic carve up.
Ejected from the Hadley Oak pub, the right back back proceeded to give his own father a right pasting in the street. Cuts, bruises and claret.
A statement was issued, 'I sincerely regret a family disagreement reached the stage it did. I enjoy a good relationship with my dad and we are on good terms. Returning to fitness is my main priority and I regret a quiet night out ended in this manner.'
Most recently came the strong suggestion that Hutton, along with fellow Scottish International superstars Teale, Whittaker, Hutton and Brown had been on the bevvies early on with Boozegate Brothers, Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor.
Young footballer + copious amounts of money = trouble.
This is all hardly earth shattering stuff. We've seen it all before. But what is important that this tendancy for mayhem is kerbed sooner rather than later.
We spent £9 million on this guy who could add more steel to a side that badly needs it. Not to mention keeping Chimbonda at bay.

Not sure where he is going to play. I think Charlie is doing just fine at right back. let us not forget he was in some mighty crappy form when he got injured. He was party to Two of the goons goals at the emirates. He can't come in on "form".
I want to see him play. Yes, he had a shite game against the gooners, but that was ages ago and he's claimintg to be more focussed now.
Charlie has been doing great stuff and links up well with Lennon, but don't forget that charlie can play all across the back line.
All I want is to see him get a few games under his belt before i start judging...
Morning Arry....Ooops sorry that ones reserved.
Well I did open this blog and laugh quite load at the picture of begsby hurling that pint glass.
Hutton....a raging celt....bashing his own father after consuming 10 bottles of 'Bucky'.....any chance he can produce this kind of enthusiastic display against Ars.... players do you think!
I think Hutton gives us a lot more going forward than Corluka and is better at crossing the ball than Lannon.
Great player to have in the team or on the bench if we're looking for a late winner/equaliser.
Whilst Palacios is out, maybe give Corluka a game in midfield. He says that's his favoured position.
Why oh why did Redknapp bring back Chimbonda?
I completely agree that we want him back and playing asap. Chimbonda should be nowhere near the first team - even on the bench - and I strongly believe that the mad Scot could do a decent job for us.
It's a real shame that he's a thug off the pitch, and I'm sure he'll take a fair bit of stick from opposition fans for "pissed-up-smacking-his-dad-around-gate" (well, we'd take the piss if he was playing for someone else, wouldn't we? Think of how long we intend to keep giving Terry shit about his chav mum).
I was reading a lot of stuff on other forums (sorry, Harry, it's true, I have been seeing other forums on the side, but you know I always come back to you, babe) right after dad-gate, where people were getting hysterical about how he should be sold immediately cos he's brought the club into disrepute, etc, etc... Yeah, I don't think he's someone I'd particularly want to have a night out with, but that's not what he's here for.
Hopefully once he's playing regular football again he'll lay off the sauce a bit and get the fuck on with the job in hand...
The thing with Hutton I have a problem with, is that his heart doesnt really appear to be with Spurs.
He is always quoted as working hard or looking forward to get back for Scotlands game here or there. I get the impression being at Spurs for him is just keeping him fit for internationals.
Still him or Chimbonda...hmmm.
Charlie also likes playing DMF. No sarge Saturday. There might be the answer? Otherwise it's one of Hud, Zak or JOH.
Reply to Wanstar:
Spot on. Charlie is a versatile defender and will play anywhere across the back 4. Hutton is a decent player and although Charlie appears to be developing a good relationship with Lennon –Hutton and Lennon combining to bomb down the right wing is surely worth Salivating over. First time in a long time we have real quality and strength in defence,
Reply to TMWNN:
A good point. I'd like to see Charlie in midfield too.
Whilst hutton's abject display at the emirates was a long while ago it was his last performance and you are only as good as your last game. Still I fancy him to be a better player I just think when Harry picks the team he can't just chuck charlie out. I don't think he will either.
If charlie can and likes to play DMF, then stick him there and Hutton RB. Sorted!!
It's easy this managerial lark. Step aside Redschnapps, I got this!!
Hutton was superb at first, then tailed off. Right now, he'll do well to shoehorn Corluka out the team. Still, he's better backup than fatty-thefatster "I'm fat" Chimbonda.
All this talk is academic, it's obvious Arry will sign Glen Johnson in the summer, West Ham and then Portsmouth and then Spurs, you heard it first.....
You hit on the real point here: his most important role is preventing us from having to see Chimbo in the side.
I'd love to see Charlie as DM, but there's risk of him having a shocker of "Zok-as-RB-at Villa" proportions. Put him there in the last 20 minutes when we're up a couple goals.
But how often does that present itself?
We need to unload at RB with Charlie,Gunter, Chimbo and Hutton all competing and now rumours about Johnson. If Hutton is fit enough for drunken brawls in the street he must be fit to play.
He's a hired gun that's more Macbeth than Robert The Bruce. I've questioned his heart from the begining. There's too much sunshine in London for the lad and he belongs closer to his Mull and floowerr! I've heard that Sir Alex was interested in him........perhaps we could send him there as our annual contribution to the cause.
Am I the only one who likes Chimbo ?
No, don't answer that.
