Good thing you aren't a bookie with your 17th place prediction last season. You'd be quickly made bankrupt!

Adkins said that had Davis been fit (he is still recovering from minor groin operation) then he would have played on Saturday in the Memorial Cup. Unless you think Adkins is a liar, then Davis can play for Saints in friendlies.

There won't be an official data update for the reason you gave.

We can only name 25 players over 21 years old, it is likely Butterfield will be told he won't be one of those 25. He'll have little choice but to move if he wants to play next season.

He has me beat there, I did not know that.

I was a little more detailed and gave options of who he may have confused Nani with.

Man Utd lineup for that game... 40 Amos 06 Evans 12 Smalling 20 Fabio Da Silva Booked (Fryers - 37' ) 21 Rafael (Pogba - 64' ) 13 Park Ji-sung 25 Valencia 28 Gibson 09 Berbatov (Morrison - 46' ) 27 Macheda 32 Diouf Substitutes 34 Lindegaard 38 Keane 51 Fryers 42 Pogba 49 Morrison 52 Cole 53 Lingard

Why would Buttner be excited about a 50k stadium if it was 10 years away? Buttner could have just left it at being excited about joining an ambitious club. And what about my second sentence?

I doubt Buttner would be that bothered if it wasn't relatively soon. In any case it gives us a figure for the capacity Cortese is telling prospective signings.

"The stadium will be expanded to 50,000 seats" - Alexander Buttner, 18th July 2012 http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vitesse.org%2Fnieuws%2Fvitesse_in_de_media%2Fuit_de_media%2F10_vragen_aan_alexander_buttner.html This should be a fun debate...(remember this is likely what Cortese has told Buttner and every other signing we go after including Rodriguez, Davis and Clyne)

Lee Barnard's Swiss cousin? #stig

Maybe THEVMAN should be given honorary full membership for the good info he has provided over the years...

There is no problem with international clearance that would stop him playing. Adkins said on Saturday that had Davis been fit, he would have played against either Arsenal or Anderlecht.

Exactly right Steve, the existing 1st choice players then become the backup.

https://twitter.com/RichardEnsten "Audio Visual Assistant at Southampton FC" He was the cameraman for the under 21 matches and even appeared in front of the camera for the Sholing game. Whatever his job title, he works for the media department and is still in England atm so could help in the unveiling of Clyne if needed.

Simon Williams the website/program writer and Richard Ensten the camera operator are still in England.

It is definitely the real Zaha.

Buttner is no longer listed on the squad page... http://www.vitesse.nl/en/spelers/vitesse/14

So what? If you had genuinely believed Buttner was a striker, what harm is there in telling you he is a left back?

Impossible to tell if you are joking or not. Just in case you aren't... Buttner is a left back.

Please tell me you don't believe that. You were complaining last summer about signings, predicted us to come 17th and we ended up getting automatic promotion. They know what they are doing, let them get on with it and stop panicking.

So not a "fact" then, as you claimed. Yes, I know Forecast is terrible and we need a keeper (something Adkins has stated will happen), but that isn't what you were defending. Plus no response from you about the Steven Davis rebuttal... Can you now see why this statement by you is a nonsense...?

I suggest you watch Adkins post match interview. He clearly states there is no issue and had Davis been fit he would have played on Saturday. By suggesting otherwise you are saying that Adkins is a liar! As I said, just look at the central midfield options for bottom half Premier League sides and Cork, Davis and Schniederlin will be fine. Further depth comes from Chaplow, Hammond and Ward-Prowse. Well it is hard not to agree we need a goalkeeper and some centre backs. Adkins has confirmed those are positions he is definetly looking to strengthen, so why worry?
