thoward18 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I like Butland but I really do not think this is where we should be spending what money we do have to spend. Howard's declined a bit for sure but he's still more than capable and has in fact been our best player the past two matches. We need to add some depth in order to really challenge for a CL spot or at least lock down a Europa spot. Once we get into one of those competitions we'll have some money to spend on a long-term player like Butland. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would normally agree with you but its not often a keeper like Butland becomes available, especially at a knock down price . So I just think if there is anyway we can do this deal then we should strike while the iron is hot Bailey, Matt and Madmatt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouse Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 would love this one to come off and as said loan him back, Redmond too is a pacey winger if we got both of these at a cut price along with Fer and then a loan striker ill .... pinch myself until i wake up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Got a funny feeling Butland will go to Liverpool myself, Reina is going to leave them and Brad Jones isn't good enough for them full time (and Butland is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yeah, i had a similar thought. They'll push it through now that they have it confirmed that Brad Jones is sh*te. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) He'll be another Joe Hart too, he'll be there for years and help them to do well. I woulden't be gutted if he signed for Fulham, Southampton etc... but I would if he went to Liverpool. Edit: Widely reported on the net that he's going to Chelsea for £3,000,000 (suits me).

Romey 1878 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Surely they're going to offload Courtois then? Cech only just renewed his contract so they wouldn't be thinking of selling him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 So they have Cech and Courtois? Are they mad>? Butland would be stupid to go there. Courtois is incredible. Butland wants first team opportunities, I'd stay away from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 He does, Turnbull is gash though. He was bought in as a 4th choice keeper (at the time). Suppose he's making a killing for doing very little.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 According to Spanish media, Barcelona are interested in Courtois as Valdes is leaving in the summer. That would make sense. Personally, i'd try and flog Cech to Barca and keep Courtois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoward18 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Cech is basically what Iker Casillas is (or was prior to Jose Mourinho) for Chelsea. And Cech is only 30. Why the hell would you go to Chelsea when there are a number of quality teams interested who will actually have playing time to offer. Look how frustrated Lloris was when Friedel was getting starts for like two months. Does Butland have ANY chance of getting anything besides token Capital One Cup starts with Cech on the roster?

Zoo Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 very strange choice. Can only think the money has turned him if true. Doesnt Turnbull (?) play from time to time aswell? Turnbull is shit though and he said when he was at Boro that he only plays football for the money. He's not interested in playing week in and week out, I think if they do land Butland they'll sell him to get him off the wage list. According to Spanish media, Barcelona are interested in Courtois as Valdes is leaving in the summer. Valdes is gash too and only gets a game for Barca cause he's a catalan.

GoodisonRoad Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Valdes is gash too and only gets a game for Barca cause he's a catalan. So true. I think i'd be half decent in goal for Barca... Zoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Not only that but he has the likes of Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol in front of him week in and week out so he's never really tested to the max. If he played for a team like QPR or Norwich (even though that would never happen) he'd be a laughing stock. Very similar to David De Gea IMO, he looks like he's got it all but when under pressure fucks up. GoodisonRoad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Berno Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't see why Chelsea would want him when they have a much better youth keeper in the form of Thibaut Courtois. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Don't really mind if he goes to Chelsea. It's his choice at the end of the day and it means that he's not going to go to Liverpool (where he would do really well IMO). If he does go then I expect Courtois to go to Athletico Madrid permenantly or go to FC Barcelona to replace Valdes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodisonRoad Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 SSN says its just an Enquiry, so it doesnt necessarily mean he is going to go, or that they're even going to make an offer. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that they would make an enquiry just for a laugh though and Chelsea need to start thinking about replacing Petr Cech. Something tells me that the person to replace him isn't Courtois and obviously Turnbull is never going to be number one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll stick with Courtois personally and we'll probably see him a bit more next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Butland supposedly rejected Chelseas approach, at least according to the Daily Fail. Still dont think we'll even go for him Cant put the link up, on my phone. Would someone do the honours?
