Guest wilyfox Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's a signing that makes sense - but so would a pacey winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got enough sub 6ft midfielders to fill 2 teams. We need some strength, and pace. Crying out for it. Name these 22 midfielders! We've currently only got Bannan and Jones fit. If we hadn't got Butterfield and Bannan gets crocked on international duty this weekend people would be going mad saying we should have brought in extra CM cover before the window closed.

We'll soon knock that out of him by playing him left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keane was 5ft 10 and Scholes 5ft 7 and they did ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Personally think he's an upgrade on Jones - he's physical, can tackle, and can play. Given that Lee is nowhere near fit yet, and Hutchinson will miss large parts of the season, i think we needed this area strengthening.

Spookone Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Not sure why some fans don't think he is an improvement on some of our midfield, he seems to combine the best bits of a number of them - its a yes from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramone Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Good player. We were looking for CM by all accounts and we've got a good one. I've always been impressed when ever i've seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Owl Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 He looks like Kieran Lee in style to me, a good turn on him in tight spaces and a good vision and forward passes. Not disappointed in him, but still think as a squad we lack pace and physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 He likes to play the ball inside the full back. All we need now is someone fast enough to take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i used to be sc_owl Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Don't know anything about him. Not sure if that's due to him being unspectacular or my ignorance. He's a Wednesday player now and will have my full support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante's Bubbly Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I remember him playing well against us a few times. Good at reading the game, intercepting balls and quickly turning defence into attack with a well paced through ball or a good ball out to the flanks. A mobile right sided winger would have been handy to go with him, but it seems the deal could not be done in time. With Abdi off the mark at the moment, Lee and Hutch both out, we needed somebody in this position more than we needed another striker warming the bench. I am sad to see Sam go for the whole season, but I am even more sad to see that our strikers are getting such poor service. Hopefully now that we can field two proper centre halves, one (JVA) who can really play some decent balls into midfield and attack and another midfield play-maker, our wingers can get forward more, our midfield and defence can find them with the ball more often and our attackers can get more good balls played into them from defence, midfield and the wings. Carlos's dream seems to be coming true at last. He now has a fully balanced squad apart from the other winger he wanted, but surely enough depth in quality across the field to play the attacking football he wants us to play and have flexibility to change the style and formation to give the opposition a good battering. I am very pleased with the type of players brought in, but we will have to see if they can all play nicely together quickly and start to turn the results around. Certainly if we can unlock the potential that Butterfield showed when at Huddersfield, that made him player of the season and worth £5M, we could have a really good player that we will all be clamouring for at the end of the season. Good luck Jacob, great interview, I hope you are right and that your style and ours go together nicely. UTO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrewsburyowl Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 with Butterfield and Hutch in centre midfield and Bannan on left with his comb over we will have the best midfield barnet combo's in Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akbuk Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) I've seen him and he has always played well a good addition and competition in midfield,I suspect Abdi will not figure anymore only Lin emergencies. Winnhall leaving makes space for space for Hirst to break into the first team squad and that's what people have been shouting for Edited September 1, 2017 by akbuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Is it my memory playing tricks or did Butterfield used to play left back at one point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
