alanmarklewis Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Because you haven't heard of him? Doesn't mean he isn't very good.I mean, I wouldn't have paid this much on the face of it, but as I already mentioned, I know very little about him other than he scores the odd screamer.Definitely heard of him and knew he was a decent player, just feel like because we have had a few injuries and have started pretty poorly we are splashing it a bit.

ariotofmyown Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 To be fair I think @Warren Hobhead deserves a fair bit of credit for this. I remember his mentioning the name a couple weeks ago, before any news of us being interested in Butterfield broke. I thought it was just a decent suggestion at the time, but he proved that he knew what he was talking about.Bris did write the article yesterday, which is fair enough as it seemed the deal could be dead, but Warren was mentioning the deal before we even made any bids for him I believe.has anyone ever seen 'warren' and 'bris' together? I have. It was quite beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needles Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe it's just me, but the phrase that springs to mind is "panic buy".This time last week, we weren't paying over the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam the Ram Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe it's just me, but the phrase that springs to mind is "panic buy".This time last week, we weren't paying over the odds.Can't really describe this as a panic buy, we've been after him for weeks. I'm guessing either we've agreed to meet Huddersfield's demands or they've dropped them. And by the looks of things it's the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Seems every signing today is a panic buy, don't quite understand it all to be honest. We are hugely short in midfield and signed a midfielder, not just any midfielder but a top Championship midfielder.Is £4m or even £5m too much? have we paid over the odds? I've never handled a transfer myself so can't really say, I'm just glad it hasn't came out of my wallet and thankful for those it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get promoted, then they'll be looked at as bad deals. So it's down to the players to perform and make themselves look like smart investments.

Rampage Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 If it is panic then it is panic because of the fee. No way are players worth what is being paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector was the best Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Very good signing imo. In his interview and seeing clips from his time at hudders he seem to be very confident and can pick out a good pass.His knee injury as he said took him the best part of 2 years to recover from, I think we have got a good one here, who will get better. Well done to the board and look out Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Not sure if that has been said in the past few pages... but why was the club's official tweet from Dubai?!Dubai or not Dubai? That is the question.Do buy or not do buy? That was the question. We did buy, but was it in Dubai? That is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Four year contract. Crikey, so if we do eventually reach the promised land in the next year or two, are we to assume he along with Bryson (4year contract last year) and others signed on long term deals will form the backbone for our team in the prem? They'll get murdered. This is always the issue with clubs desperately trying to get promoted - they buy good championship players on extended contracts and then if they do go up are upgraded anyway and are then sat kicking their heels up with the stiffs.Good signing so l'm led to believe but wary that this doesn't automatically mean instant success.
