Hutton thinks it will be difficult for Archer at Sheffield United, but believes he will get everything he needs in South Yorkshire to become a better player.
“I hope it is the right decision.
I really hope so,” Hutton told Villa News.

I think he will grow under that pressure, he likes that pressure so I think he will do well.
“It’s good for Villa to see an academy graduate come and go for £18m.

International break comes at ‘great time’ for Aston Villa to ‘learn from our mistakes’ – Ty Bracey
We’re delighted to welcome Aston Villa podcaster Ty Bracey as our exclusive Aston Villa columnist each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at the club…
The international break has come at a “great time” for Aston Villa to iron out mistakes that have made them look “completely out of their depths”, according to Ty Bracey.
For most football fans, the international break is an unwanted pause in the more exciting Premier League season, but Unai Emery, off the back of a poor performance in a 3-0 loss to Liverpool, will relish the chance to make improvements ahead of their clash against Crystal Palace when the season resumes.
With significant injuries challenging Emery, including Alex Moreno and Jacob Ramsey, the pause in league fixtures could provide Villa with the needed respite to reorganise and fix their obvious defensive issues.
Amid inconsistent form in the Premier League following poor performances against Liverpool and Newcastle, Ty Bracey is excited at the prospect of a pause in fixtures as it offers the chance for Emery to make these changes, noting that his men have the chance to “learn from their mistakes”.
Speaking exclusively to Villa News, Bracey said:
“I think it’s a great time to get some players back in the mix.
That is really important and will be very important to help the players get back to full fitness.I don’t know if Alex Moreno or Jacob Ramsey will be ready after the international break, but it’s important to get these boys back in shape.
“We just need to learn from our mistakes [against Liverpool].
Two games so far we have completely lost track.
We didn’t play well against Liverpool or Newcastle.
“I don’t mind if we lose, as long as we look like we have a plan for the game.
It didn’t seem like much was happening and Liverpool just played better than us.
