Jack Butland

[Camble]

Who you trying to fool

It's quite simple...If I saw somebody putting their hand in a fire, I wouldn't do it.

Fair play to him if he has turned down Chelsea in search of first team opportunities elsewhere. Quite refreshing as I bet he was offered quite a decent wedge of cash

These are the type of players I want us to sign. Even if they don't work out at least you know their heads are screwed on.

This excites me about Coutinho too, he wanted to be here so made sure it happened by rejecting Southampton.

Coutinho held on for the move. I hope he comes good. Not seen much of him but from a young age he was earmarked as having huge potential.

Butland deal will still cost upto £6m, but think Bham only want £3.5m up front. I'm surprised no one has snapped him up bearing in mind how highly some rate him. Wonder if we will make a move in the next couple of days

...a great price if Butland ends up being the next Joe Hart... but he could equally end up the next Chris Kirkland.

LFC have scouted Butland and been impressed but they have never submitted a bid. Butland has made it clear that he only wants to leave Birmingham for a club where he will play regularly. That isn't going to happen at LFC between now and end of this season.

[TheElephantMan]

I don't see why not? He wouldn't be a downgrade on our current options and he could become an excellent keeper. I think he'd be worth the risk.

[Sarb]

Could sign him up then loan him back. £3.5m up front is not a huge amount to risk

...no domestic cups left to play him in

Problem is, I don't think he is ready to be our number 1 yet, But clearly he feels he is ready for the premiership.

I wouldnt be happy with Reina going in the summer and Butland being our number 1. If reina goes we need an experienced keeper to come in for sure.

Same here.

We need a goal keeper with PL experience preferably or an experience in much stronger league than Championship.

[kingfunk]

Stoke have made an enquiry about Butlands availability.

[danperkins]

Buy Butland and loan him to Stoke or whoever until the end of the season.

[Mostar]

Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC
I'm told Stoke will make formal offer for Jack Butland in next 24hrs. #LFC won't. @gchase1 is all over that one.

[Chazza]

Begovic off then?
