trousers Posted 16 July, 2010 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Scored a hatrick vs Wolves last season as a makeshift centre forward in FA Cup 4th round. Now, that's what I call versatile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughnutman Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 (edited) Excellent, I have no concerns about the defence now whatsoever (Butterfield can play RB and CB I believe,as well as CM). Very pleased with this signing. One or 2 midfielders, a striker and a replacement for Bart and we'll be there.

Saint_lambden Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Well if we sign Waigo then that is RM and the 4th Striker position sorted. Another CM would be nice - Stock or Danns ideally.

Crab Lungs Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Fookin' hell, that is a superb signing. Very accomplished Champ player that didn't and wouldn't look out of place in the Prem. Nice one, Saints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat from Poole Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Good player, was guilty of some heinous defending in that crucial game against Sheff Wed on the last day of last season when he allowed Clarke to run inside him and score. Pleased with the signing though. Just a central midfielder and a winger needed then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will get an update from the ITK player on Sunday/Monday when they return home. I think a signing in the RL mould is more likely than Waigo (based on Pardew saying he wanted to sign a player like that) Perhaps a lower league player, anyone know if any of our trialists are similar to RL in terms of attributes?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Excellent signing. Versatility will be a big bonus. Does this mean Richardson is knackered for the start of the new season then? And why are we persisting with the releasing of news after the cut off time for stories to appear in the printed Echo...?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 It also shows that some rumours on 606 come true! Didn't someone post that someone on the Palace 606 forum said he was on a flight for Zurich? How prophetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 16 July, 2010 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Superb. As he looks as comfortable up front as he (probably) does in defence, perhaps Pardew might be thinking that he can use him as that missing piece of the jigsaw in our squad - i.e. A box to box midfielder? He seems to have enough pace and versatility for such a role based on that footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 lol at the timing of the accouncements, funny as, great signing though, experienced, versatile and can play at a higher level. Just a RM, CM, ST to go ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfield found himself loaned out to Charlton Athletic for two months, providing some moments of comedy defending to get our friends from the Valley relegated. Agent Butterfield he was - and he returned to the club as a hero." Made me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 this signing seems to fit the two good players for every position model, great to see such strength in depth and having 24 good players in a squad not 35 average ones like we had in our PL relegation season, a smaller quality squad is what wins things.

Which would suggest that Cortese has gazumped that original "offer from another club" as I can't see us taking 17 days to complete the signing. Which means we outbid the club (millwall? QPR?) that outbid Palace? Nice. (edit: "outbid" as in 'were prepared to offer him better personal deal' as he was available on a free xfer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Great player, will be a quality signing i feel but surely he wants to play more than a bit part which mkes the fight for RB even more exciting !! To those who have seen him play, is he any good as a CM ? Or a DM ?? This could be a crucial piece in a crucial position if he is. Great signing cheers AP/NC and team.

Saint_clark Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 Great signing. I honestly thought we'd regret letting James go as he was so versatile, but we have now signed someone who is even more versatile and 5 times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 16 July, 2010 Share Posted 16 July, 2010 I assumed it was because if we go up we could probably attract better, especially considering he'll be 31. No, players have more power than that, if he wanted more than a 1 year deal i would expect he would get it. I have not read anything yet however i would imagine that there would be some sort of extension included into the deal on both parts, i would assume he wants to move up to CCC with us, and if we miss out he can assess his options.
