If true, does it mean there's no need for Fabio's loan move or does Sparky see the Brazilian playing on the right?

Which would beg the question: What about Traore?

Indeed...
On Sky sports Clockwatch:
| Quote: | Reports in the Dutch media suggest Vitesse left-back Alexander Buttner is on his way to QPR. It is thought Fulham tabled an unsuccessful 2million euro bid for him last week.

Maybe Fullham will get him after all?
| Quote: | Fulham and QPR target Alexander Buttner says he has been impressed by the facilities at both west London clubs after visiting them this week ahead of a possible transfer away from Vitesse
The Eredivisie midfielder, 23, was one of nine uncapped players on the provisional squad list of 36 for the Netherlands ahead of Euro 2012 but missed out on the final 23.
The former Ajax youth player has just one year left on his contract with his current club and is likely to move this summer, but remains cagey over his future.
“It was impressive,” Buttner told Voetbal International. “Everything is organised very professional and the people I've met were very nice. I had some good conversations.”
Craven Cottage is reportedly Buttner's favoured destination, but German side Werder Bremen are also believed to be vying to secure his services.
“The Premier League and Bundesliga are both great competitions,” the player admitted.
“I've still got a one-year contract at Vitesse, so clubs first must agree on the transfer wage.”
Buttner’s agent, Alexander Bursac, revealed the priority is to ensure the midfielder’s talent is highly valued wherever he plies his trade this coming season.
Bursac said: “The most important [thing] is that Alexander will play next season. He wants a big competition so you've never got a guarantee on a spot at the first XI. But he needs some credit at his new club.
“It's now up to the clubs. But I expect the deal will be done.” |

Going to Southampton:
| Quote: | Alexander Buttner has revealed that he wants to join Southampton and he expects Vitesse to allow him to make the move.
Buttner has been linked with the likes of Fulham, Queens Park Rangers and Werder Bremen, but now looks set to snub interest from those clubs in order to pursue a switch to Southampton.
He visited Saints last week and was so impressed by what he saw that he admits it would be very disappointing if a deal could not be finalised.
The 23-year-old left-back recognises that his future now lies in the hands of Vitesse, but he is hopeful they will listen to Southampton's offer.
"I want to go to Southampton," he told De Telegraaf. "I have to wait for both clubs to reach an agreement, but I count on the co-operation of Vitesse."
Perfect
Vitesse are previously reported to have turned down a bid from Fulham in the region of €2million (£1.6m), but Buttner is desperate to experience Premier League football with Southampton.
He is excited by the club's vision for the future and was also captivated by his first trip to St Mary's.
"It would be a massive blow if this won't go through," said Buttner, who is under contract with Vitesse for one more year.
"I have been to Southampton and everything - including the living conditions - are perfect. The club, the stadium, everything, surprised me. Fantastic.
"And Southampton have big ambitions. With the new investor they want the same as Manchester City." |

Would be pretty embarrassing for him to join either us or Fullham after making that statement  |

hahaha looks like he may regret not signing for us:
| Quote: | Alexander Buttner's proposed move to Southampton is in danger of collapse, according to his current club Vitesse Arnhem.
The Saints struck a deal for the defender last week and expected the completion of his transfer to be a formality.
The move has hit a stumbling block, though, with a third party having entered the negotiations.
Vitesse fear talks could now break down, dashing Buttner's dreams of securing a switch to the Premier League.
"The transfer of Alexander Buttner to Southampton is uncertain," read a statement released on Vitesse's official website.
"Last Friday, Vitesse reached an agreement with the Premier League side for the transfer of Buttner.
Demand
"As Buttner had already agreed personal terms, it was expected that a medical was the only thing that could block the deal.
"Over the weekend the player let us know through his agent that there was an additional demand from a third party.
"Vitesse have told the player that it won't be meeting this demand, as this has arrived after talks have been completed and Vitesse refuse to be put under pressure.
"Vitesse are disappointed at the current state of affairs, especially because negotiations with Southampton were opened on the demand of the player.
"Southampton FC has played everything correctly and don't take any blame in the undermining of this transfer.
"Vitesse have also done everything to get this deal pushed through." |

Not going to saints. Maybe we can reduce our offer since he snubbed us originally:
| Quote: | Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Alexander Buttner admits 'all options are open again', with a proposed move to Southampton hanging in the balance.
The 23-year-old appeared destined for the Premier League when the Saints agreed a fee with Vitesse.
Talks broke down, though, once a third party became involved and Buttner has been left in transfer limbo.
He admits he has no idea where he will be playing his football next season, with Fulham, Queens Park Rangers, Hannover and Werder Bremen also believed to be keen on doing a deal.
"I can't do anything other than wait," Buttner said in Voetbal International.
Factors
"I had a good feeling with Southampton, but the transfer depends on several factors.
"At the moment all options are open again."
Buttner's agent is also in the dark when it comes to his client's future, but admits that a switch to Southampton would appear unlikely.
"It appears agreements that were reached 10 days ago don't exist anymore," said Alexander Bursac.
"The way everything is right now astounds us and is unacceptable, for us and Vitesse." |

Vitesse appear to be blaming the player and his agent *spits* appears to be blaming Southampton.
Sounds like too much hassle. We've already got an attack minded full back who is somewhat suspect at defending! |
