"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?

Alpine said... and... Adkins said that Steven Davis would have played on Saturday had he not been recovering from an operation still. Are you and Alpine calling Adkins a liar? It seems so! Cork, Schneiderlin and Davis are fine for a central midfield in the Premier League. Who thinks they wouldn't be? Plus you have Hammond, Chaplow and Ward-Prowse in reserve. Where are these "doubts" he claims coming from? He just labelled them as FACTS, as you are also doing. How in depth do you think bottom half Premier League teams central midfields are? Just look at the squads of some of the teams we will be competing against!

And that 28 days cooling off period ends on Monday 23rd July. A mere 5 days time!

Of course you can. For a start Adkins said that had Steven Davis been fit and fully recovered after his operation he would have played on Saturday. Last summer people were complaining we only brought in Cork and De Ridder before the first game of the season as a newly promoted club. We ended up getting automatic promotion. In some ways Tadanari Lee is going to be like a new signing, as he didn't play much last season due to the injury. Alpine has no idea what is going on behind the scenes. We could have numerous deals on the go, some close to completion and we are one month away from the 1st game, 6 weeks away from the window closing. It appears Clyne deal is getting very close.

I expect this deal will happen soon. He isn't with Vitesse on their tour of Bulgaria for a reason...

hypochondriac, put me on ignore. You are now no longer allowed to see my (nearly right) information in the future.

Not wrong, it is technically true.

Not as impressive as it first sounded. It was Totton under 18's!

Mainly 1st year scholars as some of the 2nd years were with the under 21's tonight.
