Alexander Buttner | 2012/13 Performances

[ghaliboy]

RVP adds a bit more to the squad than this lad though. Buttner seems to essentially be cover but I don't understand where he's going to fit in and what this means for Fabio. Surely Fabio should be chosen ahead of him? I don't think he's too far away from being there yet.

Fabio on loan is more than likely to get a run of games over a season. Here as backup he'll get played when he can at the expense of Evra.

It's actually a lot better to go out on loan if you're good enough to keep your place. Much like Welbeck did at Sunderland. He would not have had the same development coming off the bench 10 times in a season and maybe starting as many games as backup.

 

[Sir Matt]

United bought all that land around Old Trafford so they can bring their caravans to matches...

 

[Eriku]

What does he say at 1:36? I'm 22 years old, left back, i like to come?

That's just a minor confusion derived from language barrier... You see, in German "come" means to climax sexually.

I bet he asked for a caravan for his ma before he signed the contract.

 

[Sir A1ex]

Our Big Fat Gypsy Full-back.

 

[Laphroaig]

The travellers celebrating the transfer, I think.

 

[Relevated]

Bigger than the jubilee! Suck on that, Elizabeth.

 

[Relevated]

Scholes took reyes out clean, did it on purpose as well. Good to see.

 

[Widnes]

Look good tonight, I know not exactly the highest level but did everything he needed to

 

[Tomuś]

The travellers celebrating the transfer, I think.

what the hell is that. Milfs' night out or something?

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

Look good tonight, I know not exactly the highest level but did everything he needed to

He kind of looked like Richie De Laat - hopefully he can go on to greater things than our Richie.

 

[KingEric7]

Cleared a shot off the line, looked solid in defence and went on a few quality runs...

Good performance, basically. He looks really accomplished on the ball - no awkwardness about his game at all in that aspect. feck knows what he'll be like against top opposition, mind. Agree with the De Laet comparison as far as his runs go.

Dont think his runs were like De Laet at all he looks to have a good touch and dribbling style De Laet just always seemed to run really fast in straight lines a bit like a run away train

 

[JakeC]

I thought he was impressive tonight very composed.

 

[KanieKaned]

Pikey blood, I like it!

 

[Dresilved]

Thats brilliant, looks like a really close community, he'll be a no nonsense type, coming from that sort of community most likely

The travellers celebrating the transfer, I think.

 

[Dresilved]

OGS is a better analogy, he spent most of his pre-united career in Norwegian 3rd division

Hernandez wasn't completely unknown and he can't get a game these days

Not every unknown player we sign is a Bebe. Some end up as a Hernandez.

 

[KingEric7]

Better technique than De Laet definitely. It just reminded me of him in the sense that he just randomly eliminated three players from play by himself at one point. Probably the blond hair and all.

De Laet was such an enigma for us. I remember when we first got him I was absolutely staggered that he couldn't make it for Stoke reserves, yet now he's with Leicester in the Championship.

 

[Baxter]

Alex Buttner is now also injured #mufc

Jesus effing Christ.

(Playing in the Utd reserve match, I should add).

 

[kps88]

 

[Beachryan]

Where is he even playing today?

Would be nice if you said who tweeted it?

 

[Baxter]

Can't remember who, but there is a lot of people on twitter saying it, including the reliable Peter Bolton.

 

[prateik]

Played 82 minutes and the official match report doesnt mention him being injured.

 

[swooshboy]

For what it's worth, I have an Arsenal supporting mate who has a v deep knowledge of football and also lives in the Netherlands who thinks Buettner will be a top, top player for us - as in cemented first team.

 

[kps88]

Mirror claims he'll be starting on Saturday. Beats me how they know that. Doubt SAF has decided his team.

 

[Sunny Jim]

More likely to start the CL game imo - although Fergie said no more gambling as well

 

[LLMU]

would love to see how he fares in the Premier League. Wigan would be a good start

 

[Jimy_Hills_Chin]

Mirror claims he'll be starting on Saturday. Beats me how they know that. Doubt SAF has decided his team.

They will have been talking about it at OT, in the coaches team meeting. One of the coaches will have mentioned it to someone - who will mention it to someone - who will mention it to a journalist.

Don't tell anyone - but that is how rumours start!

Don't be silly he is the next De Leat, Jimmy Hills Chin says so

 

[Decotron]

Nail on the head jb. Not sure how anyone could make that comparison, especially with De Laet.

They might have seen Evra's latest appearances ?

 

[KanieKaned]

Ive thought he may start this weekend. Give him a run and see how he gets on whilst also giving Paddy a rest before the CL and Liverpool next week.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Ideal match for him to make his debut.

 

[SATA]

Good time to start him and Evra can be given the weekend off after 2 gruelling international games, it's why we bought him for

 

[Sojiro]

agreed, thought i read somewhere that evra was doubtful for the game aswell. Good time for rotation and a home debut.

 

[londonredmaniac]

Get the Buttman out there and let's see what he's about.

 

[OGkush]

I'd like to see him play against Wigan, but I doubt Fergie will drop Evra, even when we think he's going to he usualy ends up playing him anyway.

 

[Tooni]

agreed, thought i read somewhere that evra was doubtful for the game aswell. Good time for rotation and a home debut.

Is there anyone who is not doubtful at all ?!

This injury speculation by the media is getting worse than the transfer speculation. Anything to make a few more quid.
