Sounds like just the player we were told that we needed. Now the same people are saying he's sh ite and crying because Winnall has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Lee and Butterfield could be a great partnership, 2 box to box midfielders both capable of scoring a few goals Hutch could be warming the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOwl Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Jacob Butterfield = Alex Lopez... They play very similarly. I reckon that's why he's been brought in, to replicate that first season template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All will be needed over the season though. The real challenge and one very much at the door of CC is getting the best out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Could be a good signing this. Only basing this on the snippets I've seen but if Van Aken and Butterfield can move the ball around as it seems they can, it could be what we are looking for. Ball in to feet, picking out a good pass to release others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yes, we can look forward to a new Jacobean midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfielf is a decent player, but one of the reasons Winnall has gone is that we've got other players that can do his job. We seem to get out priorities cockeyed. I dont think there are any priorities or strategy - why have we signed Butterfield when we need pace and cover at FB? We let a striker go who actually performed when selected. This who episode just encapsulates how nonsensical our recruitment strategy is. But CC will survive as he always seems to and we will continue to go nowhere fast Edited September 1, 2017 by Earlsfieldowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely unclear from the outside whether he was all over it or watching from the sidelines. Independently of that can't agree. Winnall is a good player but has done nothing to suggest a transformational one at this level. Butterfield seems to fit a recent pattern of recruitment of more confident and more aggressive ball distribution. It may not work out but t this stage genuinely looks a good deal. May be good for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main anxiety is that we seem to sign midfielders with great regularity and if they like to play wide they get told to tuck in so end effect no better because they cannot make an impact. Still think we have too many. Butterfield surely cannot be quality to be drifting from club to club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 He's a better passer than anyone we have imo, especially forward through balls. He was quality at Barnsley and Udders. No idea what's happened to him at Derby but players often turn into crap there. I think he'll be a good player. Lots of competition for that spot though, unless we do put 3 in the middle?

Nero Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 3 hours ago, victorturner said: FF will be in midfield (because no room upfront)? Reach on the left? Boyd? Add Jones and Bannan. Is that five? Matias? Six? Are we in a European competition? Players don't actually line up like a table football side. Forestieri doesn't ever play on the midfield bar or the 'upfront' bar.
