Looks like the O’Riley deal is surely off…….

Rutter anyone 👀

And here…..A Leeds fan (a nice one, not the usual stereotype) in pieces.

“It was O’Riley or Rutter for Brighton”

“Our promotion chances are over”

“Rutter is the best player in our squad by a country mile”


Judging by their start to the season it should read "Our relegation chances are looking splendid."

Here's hoping....

If we can get Ferdi, O'Reilly & Rutter over the line it's going to be some squad. Can't belive so many pundits etc have predicted we'll finish 11th. That's madness when you look at the squad potential now compared to last season. Uncle atone has used Chelsea's money wisely (unlike Boehly) 🤣
Do you really think we’ll still go for O’ Reilly if we land Rutter?
 












I personally think we need another winger
The funny thing is if we have last season’s injury rate there we might - fingers crossed

With Fenerbache looking as though they fancy their chances at trying to bluff Tony Bloom into a higher bid for Ferdi, I'm wondering if TB walks away from our Turkish friends and goes back in for Matt O Riley.
(I realise O Riley isn't a right back)

Kind of invalidated your own point with the last bit in brackets

I've seen a fair few fans of other clubs predicting we'll be relegated.

If. If. If!

I don't think we'll get all three. I get the impression that our interest in "O'Reilly" is cooling (if we were serious, I'm sure we'd spell his name correctly!) The Kadioglu one is taking a long time; yes, negotiations are sometimes protracted for various valid reasons, but if the Turkish club is trying to play hardball with TB they could yet miss out on a Turkish record sale.

Rutter is a Pedro carbon copy - I think there is enough room for an attacking midfielder/playmaker
Rutter is much, much more of a passer.

Ranked No.1 in the championship for through-ball attempts and No.6 for possession won in the attacking third.

I think he can play slightly deeper than Pedro. We want him creating chances, not rotating with Welbeck and scoring them so much:

I hope we see Pedro in the box a lot more than Leeds saw Rutter there.

I’ve just realised……I’ve seen that heat map before!

Atalanta now reportedly given up on this and going for Lazar Samardzic (weren’t we reportedly interested a year or so ago?) from Udinese instead.
Could O’Riley to Brighton still be on……?
