    Good point, let's keep the team exactly as it was in league one. Can't argue with those performances!

    Yes that does sound stupid doesn't it. And it was almost exactly what you said, to paraphrase: "Lack of pace hasn't held us back in the lower leagues, so we don't need to add it now."

    I didn't say we don't need pace, it's an area we can and will improve but people seem to think it's the be all and end all of football.

    Hello Beef!

    Well Sharp for me pre-season has looked our most potent attacking threat so I think he will do well........ That being said that worries the hell out of me. :laugh:

    Apparently Buttner deal is still on, Vitesse and Buttner are trying to sort out the differences.

    Surely we won't get Phillips and Ramirez? Aren't they both wingers?

    Move Lallana into the middle?, also if we are playing 4-3-3. Ramirez would be one of the front 3 IMO.

    Just did some reading into the Buttner issue.

    His Dad has a "finder's fee" contract. Vitesse dispute that.

    He wants 600,000 euro for travelling costs etc. for the duration of his son's prospective contract, say for 3 or 4 years in England.

    He has been offered 275,000 - he rejected it. They went to court as Buttner has been forced to train alone and is not being played by Vitesse at all.

    Saints were asked if they would subsidise this deal, which they refused as they had never agreed this contract.

    The family took Vitesse Arnhem to court and Buttner lost the case (apparently) and Vitesse say their compensation offer stands.

    Presumably the deal will go through towards the end of the transfer window when his dad panics and realizes that 275000 is better than nothing.
