Jutkiewicz is not your typical centre forward
Jutkiewicz given number 11 shirt Coventry City boss Aidy Boothroyd has warned fans not to expect Lukas Jutkiewicz to behave like a traditional centre forward, because, according to Boothroyd, he is 'cuter than that' Lukas has been given the vacant number 11 shirt, previously worn by Morrison, but will probably play more in the middle than on the wing. Boothroyd is delighted with his new signing and enthused over the 21 year old player, who is eligible to play for England, Ireland and Poland, saying, “He is a great signing for us because he is young, hungry and talented,” said the City boss." “The only thing that is missing is experience but you don’t get experience unless someone is willing to give it you.So it is up to him now to come in here and stake a claim and I am expecting a threat in the back of teams and also lots of goals from him." “He’s not an old fashioned centre-forward who is going to go to war with a centre back. He is a little bit cuter than that. He is bright in terms of his work in between defenders and clever getting down the sides and being able to run and provide a threat." “He can finish. He can score with his head, his left foot, his right foot because he has got an awful lot of gifts and now it is about getting that consistency. He is another uncut diamond that we need to chip away at and polish, so he is a player who has the potential to be anything he wants to be and he will get his platform here.” Jutkiewicz joined Everton from Swindon two years ago for £1m, but failed to get regular outings under David Moyes and was playing on loan at Motherwell last season, but Everton wanted him to find a permanent deal rather than going out on loan again this season, so City forked out an undisclosed fee, thought to be between £200,000 and £500,000 for the striker. Boothroyd dismissed fears of pressure being put on the youngster's shoulders because of the fees paid for him claiming, “I think Lukas will put pressure on himself as all good players do because they want to go out and be the best they can be in every single training session and every single match. “On top of that he will have me breathing down his neck and pushing him and I don’t make any apologies for that.”
