Yes, or he could back to his country and play in some of their clubs. He won't be stuned for interest of the clubs who want to use van Buyten's services.

Seems like Borussia M'gladbach are rumoured to be after van Buyten as Dante's replacement. Credible? Perhaps, as van Buyten's contract runs out at the end of the season. He will bring Champions League experience to Gladbach and join them for free.

I really expect us to renew him. We really need four good CB's, allows for an injury/suspension and still leaves a rotation possible.

I prefer to use Tymo or Gustavo in emergency cases.

Look at that, mister van Gaal's registered to our forum!

Bayern Munich offer Van Buyten one-year extension - report

wtf! does transfer budget allready gone?

He will accept this offer.

If he extends, we will stop our CB buying list with just Dante and go with Boateng, Badstuber, DvB, Dante which I feel is pretty bad IMO

I don't think it's really bad. Holger has taken huge steps this year, and Boateng deserves some time to gain experience properly (keep in mind how much he's played on the flank where lapses in concentration are not as big of a problem). Van Buyten and Dante are fine Bundesliga defenders. I would worry a lot more about whoever we have backing up Gomez (because he really needs to rest soon).

I am happy with this. I find it unlikely that we would have bought anyone other than Dante even if DVB had left. We'd have had 3 (Badstuber, Boateng, Dante) + Gustavo, pretty much the same as this year if you don't count Breno.

Yeah, it effectively gives us an extra year to buy in more defensive cover, as it won't be a priority for next term. Will give us bigger budget to spend on other positions.
