It's weird knowing you're taller than most of the world's best footballers today....
Can be deceptive judging a man in a minute (a few women have made that mistake), but he looks like our type of player.
Cove on the NUFC board is Dutch and seems to know his way around the Eredivisie...might be the man to ask if Buttner signs.
Rather not judge him by YouTube tbh. That's were people went wrong with De Ridder
It was a tongue in cheek comment. Also, De Ridder wasn't anywhere near the Belgium set-up from what we know.
The Dutch in the comments below seem to think he should've gone to Euro2012 if that's any consolation.
Although the QPR and Saints fans saying "Welcome to (club name)" is a bit embarrassing.
Wasn't responding to your comment, just thought i'd write it before some one goes. "Omg he looks amazing on YouTube take a look"
They edited most of his goals and amazing passes out, so people don't get their hopes up to much.
Just done a quick search for his name on Twitter and here is what the Dutch have been tweeting in the last hour or so:
"If the clubs come out Buttner to Southampton .. Vitesse"
"Buttner almost Southampton"
"Buttner wss to Southampton matter, only the clubs have yet to agree!"
"So Buttner leaves for England"
"There goes Buttner haha" - an opposition fan
Then there is a conversation with a football writer covering German and Dutch football:
@agungharsya: the Alexander Büttner, more than choosing to Southampton, QPR, Fulham. There is an opinion?
...
@syyosep06: As I've said, the style of play for England who Buttner physically fit. Suits tough style of play & Soton ..

I've not watched a YouTube video of a new signing since Papa Waigo
If anyone honestly ever thought it was going to happen... (which I doubt)... Leon Best is having a medical at Blackburn Rovers.
Todays paper, I cant speak Dutch though

Taken from a paper in Holland today...
Büttner has a contract until the summer of 2013 and was also in the interest of QPR forward, Werder Bremen and Fulham. The club of Martin Jol made ​​a last bid of two million, but that was resolutely brushed aside.
Southampton, which was taken over by a billionaire and promoted to the Premier League, seems willing to pay more. Once there is agreement on the transfer fee, is located in southern England a three-year contract finished.
'It would be a very big disappointment when this did not happen, "says Büttner. 'I'm in Southampton and had everything - to the living conditions far - is perfect. The club, the stadium and the reception really surprised me. Beautiful. And Southampton's ambitions. With the new lender they want Manchester City chasing. "

Basically the same story is being reported all over the shop in the land of clogs.
I wouldn't be suprised if the Butland deal has all but been finalised either , just a feeling I have.
