Jacob Butterfield

Recommended Posts

Couldn''t finmd this anywhere else; anyhow he''s tweeted saying that he is back in full training tomorrow and looking forward to his debut very soon.Is that earlier than we thought - somehow I had it in my mind that he wouldn''t be fit until October.Looking forward to seeing him play - the good thing about buying players injured is that you forget about them for a bit, and when they come back to the team is like a new signing !!

Can''t wait, really want to see him in the attacking mid position! Supposed to be able to dribble, score with both feet and create for others. Seriously want to see this lad play

Totally agree about not expecting too much..still exciting though and looking forward to him building himself back to real full fitness. Same as Snoddy really - he needs time to get up to speed.

six with his left and one with his right in that clip, but a barnsley comment below states that he is right footed. if he is, then we could see something special because his left peg is prety classy.

I have a client who is a massive Barnsley fan and she could not stop talking about JB! Hugely loved over there. Apparently, he''s always quoted as saying that he doesn''t know which foot is his best. However, she''s adamant that he dies indeed know, he just won''t tell anyone!

I like it.

Maintain an element of surprise!

He looks an excellent player and apparently will unleash a powerful and accurate shot whenever he gets a glimpse of goal. Just what we need!

Would still have Hoolahan in the starting XI if we''re going with one striker.  However, excited about seeing Butterfield for the first time and perhaps when match fit he might give Wes a run for the creative berth.

From those clips it seems as though he plays well off a big man up front which bodes well for us.  It would mean a reshuffle in midfield I suppose.We would line up something like this.HoltButterfield AM/Free role/Second StrikerSnodgrass - RMHowson - Tip of DiamondJohnson - Base of DiamondPilks - LMMartin -RBTurner - CBBassong - CBGarrido - LBRuddy

Butterfield wasn''t a great goal threat in the Championship so I don''t know how you can be so sure he will carry a significantly better threat than Hoolahan in the Prem.

I think who ever is in the squad we need to ensure we use the wings and get those crosses in! we have a good pool of tallent which we need to use in the right way and we will see City having the same season as last year, we have brought in some decent defenders (lets hope the prove their worth) and we have a good choice in mid and attack, but we need to play the positive football we saw last season and go for it!

Totally agree Fletch. For me that has a midfield of

                   Hoolahan (perhaps Butterfield in time)

Snodgrass                      Bennett

                   Howson
