From Rob Staton via the BBC:

"Sheffield Wednesday and Derby are working on a possible swap deal that would see midfielder Jacob Butterfield move to Hillsborough and striker Sam Winnall head to Pride Park. They're trying to get it done before the deadline."

Butterfield/Winnall deal done.

Not sure about Butterfield, spent his whole career in the Championship so knows the division well enough. Still it takes one of our strikers off the book and replaces him with a midfielder, that strengthens the squad as a whole as Winnall was going nowhere really.

We get rid of Winnall and keep Nuhiu, BIZARRE!!

225 Apps, 25 Goals.

Calls himself a technical player with an eye for a pass.

So if there's no more late deals that leaves us with:

6 strikers
3 wingers
6 central midfielders
4 full backs
4 centre backs
3 goalkeepers

Would be better if he had two eyes for a pass or better still used his feet Whistle

Also someone else has to want him for more than a bit of pocket fluff and a toffee wrapper. TBF he does have his uses in late 5-10 min cameos like a couple of weeks ago but not as an out and out 90 minute striker who can score goals (highlight reels excluded).

Hopefully Joao will get some preference from the bench instead since at least he has speed.

I agree. Winnall has potential. Nuhiu has nothing to offer. Bad deal imo. But I'm glad you said it as I would have been lambasted if I had.

Just talked to a guy I work with who is a Derby supporter.
Reckons on his day Butterfield is very good but has lost form/fallen down the pecking order. Think its another case of us thinking we can get the best out of him again like we did with Bannan.
Winnall (who I think was acquired when the Rhodes deal was not expected to go through) is never likely to get in our starting team unless there are some serious long tem injuries and if he wants to push for that somewhere else fair play to him. Hopefully its an us win- them lose for us in terms of points over the season.

While FF has taken the blame for the 'incident on social or other media there's always two sides to a story and maybe Winnall's departure is better for team harmony too.

Hopefully we will go with more of a 3-5-2 at home and start banging in some goals and 3 points while getting boring 1-0 wins or 1-1 ties away.

Winnall has all the techincal ability of a drunken fish ! And was sussed out after his last few games by CC i think .obviously derby were never going to take a sack of shit in the deal (nuhui) and ive been reading some comments of derby fans and they say hes a sack of shit ? So weve had our pants pulled dowm once again unless he is usefull ? Cant see anyone being usefull though in a cc midfield ?
