Buttner

Just seen this at the side of the BBC Article about Buttner signing

Dutch football commentator Mark Van Rijswik speaking to BBC Radio 5 live: "When the news came through about Manchester United it was a very big surprise in the Netherlands that he would make that kind of move. He's decent but he's nowhere near someone like Patrice Evra, so no-one really understood it."

Seems very strange - hopefully he has potential...

As I've been saying, I think it's fair that we give this lad a good chance to prove himself before we start judging and criticising him.

Remember Evra's debut against City? He had a nightmare that day but soon enough got to grips with the Premier League, hopefully Buttner can do the same.

Oh dear, he doesn't sound promising! Maybe Fergie should not have spent so much on RvP.

All the Dutch reports suggest he won't make it at OT, but he can't be any worse than Evra has been for the last 2 years surely?

Whilst on the lb topic, I wonder how many Utd fans still rate Evra better than Baines after last night.....he had the Valencia and Nani in his pocket, in fact, he attacked them.

I bet Moyes had him pysched up - they don't think your worth 20 million - go show em different.

He really impressed me - still don't think he could do it every week though or in the champions league. Nani and Valencia still had chances to devliver and make telling contributions but failed.

he has been doing it for the last 2 years. Keep an eye out, the best performance I ahve seen him put in was at SB last season, he tore the Chelsea side apart.

i know its only youtube but the kid looks good going forward, and unlike evra can cross the ball and knows how to score.

he cant half take a decent penalty too

Look at this video, he's a great dribbler and he has a lethal left foot. Very crisp crossing too.

People were doubting Lindergaard (Including Schmeical ) And he's a decent enough back up!

This is a good article and will tell you a lot about him including his character, which I think SAF will like.

You'll also see why he's so attacking when you read about his background as a player.

I have always rated Baines. One of the very few mid-bottom table players I wouldn't mind at ot. Why some people say he is average is beyond me. He is very good and mr consistent.
