He's always been a midfield from what I read (and FM ) I'd imagine he's playing in an AMC role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/barnsley/barnsley-warn-newcastle-not-to-dally-over-butterfield-interest-1-4466468 Being linked properly today this time with Keith Hill saying Newcastle shouldn't dally over signing him and then stating that we are interested in signing him. The race for Butterfield, who has not played for over three months due to a cruciate knee ligament injury, is hotting up with newly-promoted Reading and promotion chasers Southampton and Blackpool also chasing his signature. “If Newcastle want him, they should phone Don Rowing (Barnsley’s general manager) and say ‘Listen, we want Jacob Butterfield. We are willing to make this financial offer for his services’ because I know full well that teams within the top four of the Championship are 100 per cent trying to recruit Jacob Butterfield. “One of those teams may have already been promoted and two of them have a chance of being promoted. Would be a clever signing with plenty of quality on the ball and also a tough tackler. A sort of Hammond + Schneiderlin hybrid. Would be a good option for the Premier League IMO.

Crazy Diamond Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Hill says no less than £3 million. Thoughts on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenSaint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Can play anywhere along the midfield mainly on the wings but just as good in the centre and can play that position just behind the striker, can use either foot i also think he's played upfront for Barnsley this season but anywhere in midfield is his position. It's a player i said all season that we should try and get in but i think he was injured in Jan but yeah a very good player who id like to see in a Saints shirt.

Window Cleaner Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 I'd think you could rule Blackpool out, apparently they're a real bunch of skinflints who managed an entire PL campaign without paying players more than 10K a week. Difficult to believe? yep I thought that but it was on the BBC in an article about Reading's recent promoted status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenSaint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Hill says no less than £3 million. Thoughts on that? Since he covers a lot of positions £3 milliom is nothing and don't forget if we get promoted we will have money to burn, he also fits our criteria, young and has high prospects.

No doubt a good player but whether he's PL class is something we won't know just yet.Same could be said of all of our players though.Can't know until you get there although some seem to have the baggage you need whereas others don't look to have it. There will be revelations and disillusionments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you are referring to Schneiderlin as the "quality on the ball" and Hammond as the "tough tackler". Schneiderlin is Southampton's defensive midfielder, he is often deployed just in front of Hooiveld and Fonte and is a very good tackler and then sets Saints going with his range of passing. As Adkins said yesterday, he will be a top Premier League player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Kint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 I was under the impression he was out of contract this summer in which case the fee would be decided by a tribunal... I think he has huge potential, and is the sort of midfielder we should look at. I've seen plenty of people suggesting defensive midfielders and i can't understand why. In Schneiderlin we have a TOP player who will thrive in the Premier League in that position. What we will need is a more attacking minded player alongside him, one which is capable of getting in the box and scoring a few goals. Butterfield fits the bill, as well as being young and potentially for a good price if he is out of contract this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 just stop it...you know what he meant Just challenging what seems to be a commonly held view that Schneidelin is some kind of French pansy that doesn't tackle anyone and just likes to spray 40 yard passes.

Schneiderlin is by far the best defensive tough tackling midfielder we have. Don't disagree in the main but tough tackling? I think he uses guile and agility in his tackling - a tough tackling midfielder to me is someone like Jimmy Case but then I'm a bit old school when it comes to tackling.

Indeed Jimmy Case agreed somewhere in a recent interview that his type of player wouldn't play very much of any match in the modern game.Any of our players could be thuggish like Case,Walker,Huxford,O'Neill and loads of others, they'd last about 5 minutes, just the time to get 2 yellows or a straight red.

The9 Posted 29 June, 2012 Share Posted 29 June, 2012 And that's in the NPC.Anyone know what Chapper's disciplinary record with West Brom in the Prem was like. Pretty decent with no bookings in the 4 matches he played in 2005, unfortunately Soccerbase has gone mental re 2006 claiming he played for us for half the season, so I can only say 1 booking in the 7 matches in the first half of the season. Might be worth pointing out this was 6 years ago though. FWIW Butterfield did really well for them until his massive ACL injury on NY Day and they weren't the same without him (or Vaz Te, tbf).
