    Apparently in his desperation to sign for us, Buttner bizarrely went and got a tattoo done on his face like this

    , with the bow tie on his neck, like... and the SFC bit as a chestpeice


    Don't shoot me, it could be just another transfer rumour:emoticon-0110-tongu

    We're one of a handful of clubs linked with Christophe Berra in the Sun. That'd be the experienced cb we're after then - and at £3m I'd be happy with that

    Not sure about Berra. Is he any better than Scott Danns? Lots of people on here were very unhappy that we might have been bidding for him.

    Thought Berra was quite poor for Wolves last season. No as poor as Johnson granted, but still quite poor. For such a crucial position, I'd be wanting us to do a whole lot better than Berra.

    Said it before about Johnson, but that Wolves defense was so appalling when I saw them last year that I don't know what to make of any of them as individuals; can't remember seeing a bad four at that level of competition that saw its shape disintegrate so thoroughly, so frequently. It certainly wouldn't fill me with confidence if our central defense consisted of Jos, Fonte and Berra, though he could prove capable on a team that wasn't so prone to running about aimlessly.

    Berra and Johnson aren't bad players, Wolves were just rotten all round. Same with Dann and Blackburn. We'll see what happens.

    Never rated Berra tbh, rather we got someone else.

    Corriere dello Sport reckon we might be after Gaston Ramirez, as well as Liverpool. Don't think this will happen but its a rumour...

    He is a huge talent - surely will move from Bologna, but to a bigger club than us. No chance of Saints getting him.

    My thoughts exactly, if there was something in the pipeline it will be pretty much all to do with Cortese contacts.

    Waigo & Guly both from Cortese contacts in Italy. Could well be an ounce of truth in us being able to acquire talent from the old country

    Not when Hooiveld scores a 40 yard thunderbolt that sails into the top corner.
