Maybe there was one very too many in Shade's earlier post, but, taken in the context of League 2, Butland's performances for us ranked as very good in my opinion.
I suspect Butland will aim higher than an arrogant and deluded little selling club, living on its well past it glory days, surviving off the talent that came through the Southampton Youth Academy, yet still thinks of itself as a massive club. Butland deserves better.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:I think Butland will replace Mignolet and Liverpool this summer. Especially if (hopefully) Stoke go down.

You're right, what are people thinking. You're obviously c!#p if Chelsea only want you as back up.Ihearye wrote:Indeed Mr Banks WAS a very very good keeper, and Mr Butland MAY become a very very good keeper. But he is not that now and certainly was not that when with us. Agree that chelsea were interested, but as back up to a veryy very good keeper. Which sort of backs up the discussion?

A player who stayed last summer even when Barcelona were agitating, and who has demonstrated that only Barcelona were big enough to attract him away as there is not much bigger than Liverpool in the Prem apart from Man City (if players are after money).Lord Elpuz wrote:One name describes how the above can’t be true: “Coutinho”RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:

Same way De Gea or Courtois will only leave if Barca or Real come knocking. Maybe PSG.
So unless you are suggesting Butland - a yet unproven young keeper shipping three goals a game at relegation bound Stoke - will a move straight to City, Barca, Real or PSG without a stepping stone of Liverpool, Man U or Chelsea (who will join City in the top four) I am not sure what point you are making.
Coutinho is regarded as one of the very best in the world, in the small group of elite with Messi and Ronaldo. Butland is far from that status.
