Saint Charlie Posted 12 July, 2012 Share Posted 12 July, 2012 Signed according to the Technical Director at Vitesse, Tet Van Leeuwen, on Twitter. @TetvLeeuwen: @northamsoul7 @peterwhite_1 Buttner signed @TetvLeeuwen: @Zoggers87 buttner signed @TetvLeeuwen: @upthesaints Buttner signed Not sure that guy is actually the Technical Director. If he is then he has made some very strange comments on Twitter to me such as "His (Buttner's) end pass to the attacker sucks IMO" and "He is a winger from origin if I am correct" and "I think 4.5m Euros for a player with 1 year left on contract is insane". No what I would expect from an employee of the selling club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitesse and the 23-year-old defender have the last obstacles removed. Despite an agreement on the lump-sum payment with Southampton loved Vitesse earlier this week against the transition. Disagreement over oral agreements was the cause for the delay. But Büttner and have found each other Wednesday evening Vitesse. Both parties have concessions, making the transfer this week can be abyss. With the transition, an amount of 4.5 million.[/Quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the 'hype' is ever the players fault. It's always created by a combination of media snippets and over-enthusiastic, Football Manager-playing, Youtubed-up fans... Nowt wrong with a bit of excitement over a new signing but sometimes it gets a bit OTT. But that in turn provides me with a lol at threads like this, so it's not all bad.

S-Clarke Posted 12 July, 2012 Share Posted 12 July, 2012 It is possible to have more than one deal on the go at the same time. I am amazed at how many seem to think you can only do 1 thing at a time. We have shed loads of staff and agents working on numerous deals at any one time, some may be for backup if a certain signing falls through - but it's silly to think we're doing this one at a time. We'd be here all year if that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 12 July, 2012 Share Posted 12 July, 2012 (edited) It is possible to have more than one deal on the go at the same time. I'm pretty sure that everyone at SMS isn't working on the same project all at once. Most likely one (group) making decisions on goalies, another deciding on a new CB ...or two There must certainly be some more activity on extra midfielders, but it's hardly good PR to announce two or three signings all at once - even if they all came to a conclusion at the same time. (not very often). It's nice to dwell on a new signing for a day or two... .and then wait for the next one. Recalling some recent info that's come to light in player interviews... T.Lee was (apparantly) over visiting SMS last Autumn and it was only the timing of his OOC and our transfer window that came togerther at the same time . Jay Rod said he made his mind up to sign ..whilst on holiday in Mexico (!) ...and apparantly Buttner has been at SMS a few times and was impressed enough to go out in the media(in Holland) and say he wanted to join Saints. Unfortunately the British media take it on themselves to decide on which player will join which club ...and for what fee....doen't make life easier !
