It is now offfical on barnsley newsnow that butterfield and barnsley have rejected norwich city. He is staying at barnsley fc. Well done son.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It will now go to tribunal butterfield agreed a 4 year deal with norwich barnsley can not stop him signing as he is out of contract but under 24 so a fee must be paid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Butterfield is still going to Norwich but barnsley feel they will get more for him at a tribunal than what they have offered
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also on line that Barnsley Chronicle have said he has signed for Norwich,just compo. to sort out,will go to tribunal.

You have mis-understood im afraid. The articles state that Barnsley have rejected our offer of compensation. He is now a free agent and allowed to join any club he wishes but due to his age (below 24) the club are due compensation. If Barnsley reject our offer the matter goes to a tribunal who will set the compensation fee. This is historically a risk for the club losing the player as fees are usually on the low side. He will be signing for Norwich, possibly as soon as 3pm this afternoon... A press conference at Norwich Colney has been called for Hughton and Whittaker to meet the press, but with other news to be announced. Keep an eye out, hes not going to be at Barnsley much longer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think you may need to keep an eye on the Norwich City press conference at 3pm. Yes, well done son!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look again : (
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read it again... Barnsley reject offer from Norwich for Butterfield; fee now set to be settled by tribunal ...and im a Barnsley fan..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Barnsley have rejected Norwich's approach, Butterfield wants to leave.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No he's not going to Norwich fee to be decided by tribunal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It says they turned down a offer so still going to tribunal, looks like he's signed although Norwich won't comment on the matter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats why he signed a 4 year contract today and was at a press conference this afternoon.... Great research... not!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... this is awkward. {Ed003's Note - lol}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did that pan out for you? Unlucky son.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 Hours later........................................................... Jacob Butterfield signs 4 yr deal at Norwich City
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oops fella. Signed for City
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fail... he's signed a four year deal with norwich
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He sign for norwich. bad move because he will be back down next year when he not getting games there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No, it means any fee will now go to tribunal as his contract is up.
Done Deal, unveiled by norwich
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's official, on BBC & Sky. He's off to Norwich.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Officially confirmed as a Norwich player. Good signing, happy with that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He has signed for Norwich. Its on the official Norwich website
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another good player leaving tarn to become a nobody he will be loaned out by jan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha no it isn't he just did an interview to ncfc website about his new move lol at you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUTTERFIELD,lacks pace,cannot win the ball,good shot tends to hide parts of games if we get 500k i will take him,no way is he Premier class
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last reply sounds like sour grapes, he was your captain at a very young age, so your manager clearly rated him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All this fuss about butterfield, he's not prem class , ok player is about it, suited to norwich i guess, and im not a barnsley fan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 million for a player who started half the games of a season for Barnsley! Won't even play for Norwich plus they are clearly going down next year! Great move for Barnsley!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best player barnsley have had since they got promoted back to the championship
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bitter barnsley fans,we (uddersfield) got the same when ollie norwood signed last week.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hill rates Butterfield? dont make me laugh worse Barnsley manager we have had for years,knows he ,Butterfield isnt good enough,you NORWICH fans will soon see this,get him a good seat on the bench,and a big coat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lack of pace? maybe he was just tired from having to carry most of the Barnsley team last season...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He didn't play that much of the season, but what he did play he hardly carried us, more like Danny drink water and vaz te carried us!!!, sorry people he's really not that good
