I Cant Believe Its Butterfield
Saints have signed former Crystal Palace player Danny Butterfield, aged 30 Butterfield is primarily a right back, but is also able to play either on the right of midfield or in the centre and will be a useful replacement for Lloyd James who was also able to cover all of those positions.
Butterfeld is perhaps best known for his hat trick for Palace against Wolves in last seasons FA Cup whilst playing as a makeshift striker, dubbed a perfect hat trick in that he scored with both left & right feet as well as with his head, certainly he is experience Saints could do with, being he has played in both the Premier and Championship in his 8 years with the Eagles, with perhaps the only question mark over his signing being that turning 31 in November age is not on his side.

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall.

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
