Christ, I can't believe people are analysing a laugh when asked at the end of an interview about a transfer. Maybe we should ask Simon Peach if it was a

 

PMSL - I'd love too join them and I am!! How did you guess?!!

LMFAO - I'm going to be the best keeper in the world, Why the f*ck would I join Southampton?

ROFL - like a MASSIVE club like them would be interested in me, I've only played 21 times in L2 you know

LOL - well you never know, *laughs and winks* hopefully I will........

 

Simon, can you confirm which of the above type of laughs it was so we don't right him off as a c*nt with an attitude that we don't want.

When I read what Peachy tweeted I assumed it was like I'm gonna tell you c**ty chops......could be wrong though, it does happen once in a while.

This analysing of a laugh is a new low for this board.

 

 

 

nah, would struggle to make the top 20 although having said that I'm not sure which board some of the takeover threads were on but on a global SF,TSF,TSW basis somewhere in the low 20s in my opinion. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Why do so many people assume he's absolutely definitely going to develop into the next great thing and so any money we pay for him now is a bargain?

 

Chris Kirkland was supposed to be Englands next bright star. Look how that ended up.

Steve Simonnson was supposed to have an amazing future. Look how that ended up.

Ben Foster was going to be Man Utds and England's kepper for years to come. Didn't quite get there.

Joe Lewis has had a huge fall from grace.

 

Joe Hart is the rarer example of a keeper in his prime in his early 20s. Buttland could be amazing and on the international scene for 15 years. He could equally turn out to be only quite decent enough to play Premier League or Championship for his career, similar to Rob Green and all the others mentioned.

 

 

nice analysis Kraken,

 

.......but your list omits Tommy Forecast ....once tipped by the Spurs as a future Engalnd keeper.....WOW !

no.....but I have seen poor keepers put in brilliant displays over a short period of time

will never forget the amazing display of blayney against newcastle....look what happened to him

 

He's clearly not a poor keeper though. If he is, he's so far managed to pull the wool over the eyes of England, fellow professionals, pundits, scouts and supposedly even the might saints.

 

I know you try your hardest to never jump on band wagons but eventually you'll have to concede that the lad looks class

He looked good but not top 10 world transfer fee for a goalie good. Which is the price quoted

 

Anyway. He isn't ours and should he be. I hope he would do well

It's a bit dumb, narrow-minded perhaps, to think that one TV appearance will suddenly make him worth a huge sum of money. People in the game will know all about Butland already, one live TV appearance won't suddenly change things. Scouting isn't done via TV alone, anybody involved in knowing what talent exists in football will be more than aware.

The difference is that he has now shown he cuts the mustard against a team of real undisputed quality. That will increase his value no question.

I thought Butland looked quite good although some of the saves were right at him. His value has probably risen tonight and if he has a good tournament. I thought Cork was good as well - some of the others were dire - weren't we interested in Sordell at one point.

Playing 45 mins In a Friendly does prove you cut the mustard.

I have rarely seen a young keeper look so composed in what, despite it being a friendly, was still a high profile game. I can well understand why Birmingham want top dollar for him. So would we if he were ours. He is a star in the making and I am just sorry he is not ours.

PS we should have paid the money they wanted - feel free to jeer at me in a couple of years if I am wrong.

You may very well be proven right, and like you I was hoping we'd sign him.

 

Whatever happens though, I hope the "we should have signed Butland" issue does not become a stick to beat Gazziniga with.

Buying a "great young keeper" does not always pay off. Classic example Forecast, who looked great when Butlands age

 

Saints have opted for Gazzanegra, who, from what video snips I have seen, shows a lot of potential IMHO

 

( No point in Butland now, the ages are too close )

 

Plus, being Mercenary about it, getting Paulo has saved us circa £5M

 

Another bit of shrewd business by Nicola I think

Living in Medway, close (but not too close ;-)) to Gills' stadium, I have seen a lot of Paulo and trust me, he is an excellent goalkeeper who should only get better. I have never seen Butland play, but he would have to go some to beat what I have already seen of our new signing.

somebody just posted on facebook they've been told Jack Butland is at St Marys having pics taken. Personally think bull but who knows..

 

Why would photos be being done at st Mary's? Both Clyne and Gazzaniga went to France to have theirs done as that is where the media team are

Possibly because Butland is tied up with Team GB training at the moment and wouldn't have time for a day trip?

Why has he gone to SMS then? "bye lads - Im skipping training today, dont worry about the gold, be back later". Can't see it somehow.

That wasn't the question that was asked ;)

 

And no I don't believe it for one moment.

 

But I would answer your question with...

 

So where are Team GB staying & training? (Genuine one that as I have no idea, don't think they will find much space in Stratford)
