It'd be great if he went on to be a Dutch International.

Looks like meireles..
He was already on the Dutch shortlist for the Euro's so he's virtually nailed on to become a full international. I'm not buying the theory that Fabio went on loan because we had Baines lined up, Fabio needed the experience of playing regularly, this guy already has it. Fergie will use him to rest Evra, as well as the bonus of putting some pressure on Evra
All good news imho

He's basically there for cover. It is important to have good squad players who can provide cover and put in decent performances when required, not everyone is going to be a Kagawa/ RVP megastar signing. I wouldnt be suprised if he could cover a few positions as sir Alex is well know to like versatile squad players.
So he is a more advanced richie de laet by the sounds of it?
Control, alt + De Laet was only here to sell shirts in Belgium right?
Jesus. Don't give up the day job mate.
He looks like a Neo-Nazi!
Yeah that was my first reaction to seeing that pic. Would fit right into Liverpool
The fee for Buttner was decided by an independent tribunal not by the selling club, presumably.
Fair enough.
Apparently this is him arriving at the famous Bridgewater hospital
i like his facial expression.
He'll get along great with Valencia
Does anyone else really want to punch him in the face already?
No I like him, Bendtner mark 2.
Hehe, gotta love Fergie, signing a player who's probably never even heard of himself.
I won't, believe you me. I'm awful at them I know, but I always try to make an effort.Effort is my middle-name.
Is this the last piece of the jigsaw or did we finish one and start another...seriously United first watched him 1 month ago according to VA....is that what our scouting policy is now ..still beats getting Bebe of a bloody video... From Doetinchem...got me looking at Google Earth....welcome AB joining RVP after RVN and VDS.....
Young, eager to learn, excited, cheap, and covering for a position that needed covering. On the cusp of entering his 'better' years as a footballer. Fantastic for us.
Just wanted to ask though, whatever happened to Martin Vermijl? The young Belgium full back we signed 2/3 seasons ago.

How would you know that United only started watching him a month ago?
He's still here. He even played a few games during our pre-season tour. A regular for the reserves/U21's.
How is he progressing? Is he promising? Or will he not make it here?
He seems alright. Difficult for him to make it here when Rafael seems to be our future. He may potentially be a cover for him in a few years time, but it's likely he'll go down the route of going on loan, and then eventually securing a deal somewhere.
Saying that, he's still young - so who knows.
a bit of de laet this?
Seems like it.
Yeah, I'm about 99.999% sure that's a huge load of balls, so: Source..?
He wanted a transfer, Southampton nearly got him, but Vitesse and Buttner did not reach an agreement on how the transfer fee of 4,5 million euros should be divided between them.
Southampton got frustrated and pulled out of the deal and Vitesse then went on to let him train with the reserves. Buttner did not like that and sued them... he lost the case.
That's when we first expressed our interest in him, via email, say's the player.
Which pretty much confirms that it's a load of bollox we watched him for the first time a month ago.
That I read but who says we've only watched him for a month?
He looks like a knob.
The media usually wheel out there local league experts for a scouting report don't they? Or is he that unknown?
Hope he is a decent player, doesn't have to be a worldbeater... just good enough as a cover for Evra and not drop too many bollocks and he will have been worth it.
In a few years we can assess whether Fabio (or him) are good enough to replace Evra as first choice leftback or whether we have to splash the cash. So all's fine... unless he's as rubbish as some of my friends in Arnhem (probably bitter) are claiming.

The De Laet comparison is incredibly weird, De Laet had barely made a dozen first team appearances for Wrexham and Antwerp when we picked him up. Incidentally, is anyone amused at the thought of how much everyone in here would be monging out if this singing had come before Van Persie shut the muppets up?
