[Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24

[hampshirebrightonboy]

Decent honest fan there.

He is very good.
Call me sad but before each game I generally see what the opposing teams Youtubers are saying about us.
He is best I've come across - but probably won't listen to him for a while

 

[Bald Head]

Seen Leeds fans saying what a positive character he has on and off the pitch, how likeable he is and how he's the 'only player left in the team that brings them any joy'.

These stats are pretty nuts.

Love those stats.

 

[One Love]

Like many others, I don’t get this at all. I hope to be proven wrong, obviously, but I’ve seen him play a few times and never understood the hype. Add that to the fact we’re probably losing someone in order to bring him in… and we have bigger squad gaps that need covering…

It all feels very Chelsea at the moment.

But we're not like Chelsea.

Presumably something has happened we're not privy too.

Maybe with Evan?

 

[WATFORD zero]

My goodness

 

[Dibdab]

How could he be a replacement for Undav if Undav didn't even play for us last year?

Because Fabian vocally declared he wanted Undav to stay this season.

Great stats apart from the passing !! What's going on there?! Does this mean every other pass goes to the opposition??

 

[Mancgull]

Same position as mitoma

Although Bobb more backup so can't see them splashing much on it

Eze has a release clause though which would suggest that he could be first on their list.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

.so we might/could/possibly be lining up like this in the future?

Thats the cup final starting 11 sorted.

We have a bloody good side forming. We have brought well. I wonder what RDZ is thinking. Last summer bar Pedro he got bunch of freebies/loans. Nothing in Jan. Always the plan the spend once RDZ left...?

 

[MJsGhost]

Just means he's playing difficult, risky passes with a high potential reward, rather than a sideways or backwards 5 yard pass that always goes to a teammate

 

[Weststander]

Meeting the release clause valuation is one thing.

Any reliable news that Rutter wants to join us?

 

[JBizzle]

So we are taking a player from a smaller club for a lot of money when that happens to us, which its does frequently, how many will moan then about bigger clubs than us taking our players ?

A question on this... Did we really moan that much about Bissouma, Mac Allister, Trossard and White? I think that they all generally went to those clubs with the acknowledgement that it's the right move for both parties.

Chelsea is different, and that wasn't because they were a bigger club taking a player, it's because they were taking ALL our players, plus manager, coaches, analysts and backroom staff. Personally, I can both understand our place in the hierarchy AND despise Chelsea

 

[The Grockle]

Yeah - I'm wondering whether this could be the case. United were mentioned re : Fergusson the other day and I know they have long admired him. If they make the player and us an offer we couldn't refuse then maybe that's what will happen?

I rate Ferguson and would be sad to see him leave but I don't think we'd struggle without him. Pedro on the other hand is a huge player for us, he'd cost us 60 plus million in today's market.

Not just Joao Pedro - we spent £100m in transfer fees last summer in addition to two expensive free transfers and a ridiculously expensive loan he pushed for. He was backed.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Yes, exactly. His assists, expected assists and progressive passing stats are nuts. We'll have to be prepared to press and win it back a lot though.

Yes - Sky have reported he’s agreed to join us and undergoing a medical in next 24 hours.

So we are taking away the only Leeds player who "brings their fans any joy"?

That's nasty, spiteful, vindictive and...............

VERY VERY FUNNY!!

 

[chaileyjem]

My view is that we struggled last season with just having Ferguson, Welbeck and Pedro as our strikers - O Mahony and Duffus got some minutes at some point - and then of course they were injured leaving us with little choice and depth. Pedro and Rutter are flexible and can play anywhere along the front line and as no.10s to Ferguson and Welbeck. So i'd be surprised if any of that four exited. And it looks like Hurzeler will play a front two.
PS: Ferguson is back in training.

 

[Mancgull]

Very high level of progressive passes and progressive carries. Just what we need.

I think Kadioglu is now going nowhere. Surely we can’t spend another £35m?
I now get the feel that this was being spun out on social media/ press to attract a bigger bid from Man U / Arsenal. I know he’s a full back and Rutter a number 8, but I think Hinshelwood can play the Right wing back role.
