What’s with the fannnying around with the announcement with these two? We’re clearly signing them, why wait? Waiting for something really shit to happen in the world then we'll announce it. Classic burying bad news tactics....

Because they are both on a 3 week holiday so will be unveiled once they are back home. Why though? Just get it done. They're clearly signed, I bet the photos have been done too. Just seems like we're stroking the ego of Scholes here. Which just seems odd. Would you fly 10000 miles home for Phil to take 2 pictures or wait till you get home?

He probably is a very good keeper, but watching his highlights he just doesn't seem to catch/parry the ball in a proper way?. Sounds silly I know but just doesn't look right.

Jesus bayern you're back with a fucking vengeance, can't you just chill the fuck out and let the club sort it out in their own time instead of acting like a spoilt kid wanting everything now

Surely Davies may have agreed terms, but can't sign on the dotted line until Butland is sold. Kin hell he could be there with the pen in his hand a good while if that’s the case

Butland has nothing to do with Davies deal, another keeper might come in to cover Haugaard leaving if Butland is sold if he isn’t he will be within the next 12 months anyway

Nothing new, but Percy adding to the noisy chorus saying it's done (along with Powell and Gregory)

So may reasons why these things dont get immediately announced - players away, contacts starting and finishing june 30th / 1st July for instance.
So Usually if, things are announced early, its players or agents leaking such things
plus, most our our lads either at, tournaments or lying on a beach somewhere

I don’t believe the Hart stuff for a second but if true we’d struggle to make a worse signing all season.
The bloke is finished and has been for 2/3 years now.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us go for Hart and i'd be less surprised to see him here. I can't tell you on a public message board how I know but he has connections in this area and he's a player who has always had a good rapport with our fans when he's come here as a visitor. He ticks our managers boxes of a player that has achieved and is a good character.
I'm a bit nervous about his form but overall I think he'd be a really good signing in all honesty.

May be jones doesn’t fancy Federici as he’s said all along two players for every position

If we hadn't signed Davies, I could just about see it. But, with that done, it's just a complete non-starter surely? No.2 keepers in the Championship aren't peak-age internationals who've captained teams and been regulars in the league for 5 seasons on 15-20k-a-week, are they? And Hart would sooner retire than sit on a Championship bench. The fact that Davies is signed and sealed - 100% expecting to start our first game and turned down other good offers as No.1 - has also got to impact on the fee we'll ultimately accept from Bournemouth/Villa for Butland in the end, you'd think? It's just inconceivable that we don't sell Butland this summer, and potential buyers know that. If Butland is here after the deadline, he and Davies will both be furious.

Being born not too far down the road probably helps him with having connections round and about Stoke.

It's just inconceivable that we don't sell Butland this summer, and potential buyers know that. I'll admit i'm flying in the face of that logic and your logic is very sound and sensible, but i've just got a feeling he might end up here and there being one almighty scrap between him and Davies for number one, with Federici third choice. Penny for the thoughts of the club right now at the prospect of losing Butland. Do you think they might be wanting to wheel out a big name to calm the waters? Is that their thinking given the amount of freebies we're looking at and a potential lower fee for Butland? This is the same group of businessmen that panicked into a 5 year deal for Moritz Bauer (when we had no manager) and a new deal for Joe Allen off the back of a relegation as a statement of intent. As far as i'm concerned, all bets are off when you look at that.
