Jacob Butterfield...

The sticking point for him leaving is his knee as far as I can see. Sure, he can have a surgeon's report saying "The operation was a success and I expect Jacob to make a full recovery", but in reality clubs might well want to know that he can perform at the same level, BEFORE making him a contract offer. With no football for him until the new season they might decide to wait and see or turn their attention elsewhere.

It's entirely possible that for £750k or whatever it is, they would take the 'risk' but it wouldnt surprise me if he opts to stay because clubs have decided to wait.

 

The same club that didn't want to extend his contract last summer??? Loyalty works both ways Mario.
I still find it amusing that some folk on here suggest they themselves wouldn't want to grasp an opportunity to work for a better company at a better level on better money. Because that's how I see it. And whether you have an impression of him 'personally' means jack ****. I don't see 'man abart tarn' Jim O'Brien getting griefed for his drinking exploits. You think 'Jimbo' stayed with us out of loyalty??? Think again.

 

Thanks YT but come on you have to be consistent with your STFU notifications. How come Bob gets off the hook

 

Matthew Murray (freelance journalist on Twitter) says he had an interesting conversation with Butterfield yesterday, but won't say any more.

Not sure that big wedge for an exclusive is coming Matthew from a tabloid! So just spill the beans eh?

 

I've tried to quell my love for the STFU button. Especially since GreekMan was kidnapped by Political Correctness Activists.
I haven't got Bob on 'ignore', but I may as well have. He used to amuse me at one point, but the wit seems to have dried up.
Feel free to STFU me, it makes me feel special..

 

He works for the Chronicle, pal. So expect the interview to be published in there Friday. His tweet is a blatant attempt to whip up interest and get you to buy the paper.

 

I think I will slip a few tactical 'STFU' notifications in, when you least expect them

 

I like your thinking Mario. But if you are hoping to STFU to a sensible post of mine, you'll have a long old wait.

 

While I'd love to buy the paper, the fact the editors refure to move to a tabloid sized paper, like most other broadsheets, means I CBA ha!

Only place you can read it is if you sprawl on your living room floor with it.

I was aware he works for Chronicle, although he calls himself freelance.

By Friday the news will be out anyway.

 

I agree with all of that.
Although, there would be a lot of old farts that would kick up a right fuss if they went to a tabloid size paper. Me, I think it's long overdue. You'd need the wingspan of a fcukin' eagle to read the bugger stood up.

 

I manage it.

 

I can see it...

Barnsley Football Club can confirm that Jacob Butterfield has signed a new 1 year contract extension. Keef Hill said yesterday "Because the lads not going to be match fit until after the season has started he's decided to sign an extension. Endeavour. A concrete offer for him has never come in, enquiries did come from a couple of Premiership/top Championship clubs but they saw him has a bit of a risk due to sustaining a serious injury. DNA. Me & Flicker will continue to work with the lad and we've decided to make Etuhu his away day roommate, that lad hates low cropped vests so that should be interesting but it will help me and Flicker build a football club, because that is our ultimate aim here."

The Chronicle also managed a quick word with The Don, dressed like Indiana Jones after his recent trip down the Nile to secure the services of Mido, he mumbled on like the Iraqi information minister claiming that Alan Pardew had been on the phone only this morning and it looked like Jacob was on his way.

 

Out tonight?

 

Dunno yet, l'll send thi a DM on that social network thingy, depends on work

 

I think I'll be attending chennels if I can get daft lad out.

 

He's back in marbella on thursday so i would expect him to have someting sorted tommorow after today we arnt paying him anymore needs something to keep him in his playboy lifestyle

I agree too. only had half a season as a good player...get shut

 

Tweet from Butterfield :

"@JLButterfield: Given the all clear from the surgeon today to start pre season as normal.. Great news."
