That is class. More so because its Leeds

I saw a lot of Leeds United last season in my Championships watches. Rutter is a quality player. And I think those friends on here who don't think he ranks as well as Pedro may well be surprised.
In the states we call that a "sanity clause." Of course everyone knows there is no such thing as "sanity clause."
Brazil Scout has Nkunku down as a similar player type.
The Chelsea player is 3 years older than Rutter but has a versatility that would make Hürzeler roar with excitement and approval.
I wonder if Rutter could play in all those positions too? The eye test on YouTube says yes.

Dangerous Idiot
Milner/Welbeck obviously can’t start every game with Gruda and Rutter it gives different options. We got caught out badly last season now we’ve added some competition and squad depth it wouldn’t make any sense to sell Pedro/Adingra.
The one in one out thinking doesn’t add competition nor build a strong competitive squad. TB wants to play some serious football this season.

Yep, that's ten for four places. Four come on as subs, that's 8, plus 2 will be rested / injured at any one time. Three of them are already out for Saturday as it stands. Options.

If there is a substantial offer for Ferguson I think we'd be wise to cash in, losing Pedro however would be a massive blow and I'm not convinced Rutter would be an adequate replacement.

Hopefully it’s adingra off and Ferguson loaned. Maybe Sarmiento loaned too.

Doesn’t really mean anything. The Leeds forum I looked at was far more equivocal about him. Most thought it would be a blow to lose him in the same window as Gray and Somerville, especially now the season's started. Others thought he was all unfulfilled potential and that they’d be mad to turn down £40m. He seems to be a rough diamond that their coaching staff weren’t quite able to bring on. I’d hope that FH and co would fare better. It’s a gamble but as always, I back Albion to make the right decision.

He’d have to be some player to balance the loss of Adingra, Ferguson and Sarmiento.
Hopefully, it's not as a result of an excessive boardroom party colliding with a virus in the software
It would appear that TB has done the maths and worked out that a top 6 finish and the brand recognition that comes with it makes the expense value for money. As to 40m unfortunately, as ridiculous an amount of money that it is in relative terms it is f*** all. My only concern is that a brand new coach and essentially a new squad could be a tad shaky before it all comes together.

I think Prawnsarnies was talking about something else . A injury to someone. I'm not going to repeat it,
