    Good thing that Davis has impressed in the Premier League before then, eh?

    Nice. Get Buttner done and then a RM, CB, GK and a RB and we're looking solid.

    Personally I think Steven Davis is the most important signing of the last couple of years. It wouldn't surprise me if he became Captain and his experience in the Prem League and at International level will be invaluable and something we lack among the current squad. He's still at a good age and this signing could only be surpassed if we get Adam Johnson. Very encouraging signs, though still slightly puzzled about Buttner, as left back is just about our strongest area with Fox (about the only player with Prem experience) and many assists last year. We apparently have just turned down £4m for Shaw, though I accept he's still young and Harding isn't a bad back up. We also have Dickson on our books still though I accept he'll probably go. Unless he's pushed forward and give Adam the chance to play a free role, or even switch to the right.

    Good signing...PL experience, in his prime and would seem to be a good character having skippered for Rangers and his country.

    So with Davis and Buttner announced today (Buttner by everyone in the world except OS, pending medical)... who's still worrying about not enough signings? :)

    Woops by Mr Radhi Jaidi: &#8220;@maxarkaah: @RadhijaidiOff Do you think Alexander Buttner will make a big impact?&#8221; Yes sure

    It was always going to happen but Jaidi may have been caught out a little early, haha :)

    Find it funny that some people are saying, the SPL is crap he wont make it in the prem! They obviously know nothing about him, over 100 apps in the premier league so i am chuffed with this signing! And FREE!!

    27 years old is Davis, so in theory, in his prime.

    Moved to Fulham with Lawrie Sanchez for £6m, Lawrie went and he was cast aside as a "Lawrie-ite" supposedly.

    But, 113 PL apps and captain of his country for free? Good one Saints.

    Over 100 apps in the Prem, a multi-million move between Prem sides and a club's player of the season award. Think it's fair to say he knows the Premier League game!

    What will the moaners say now? 2 signings (Buttner pretty nailed on) in one day. That's how to silence the critics.
