It wouldn't surprise me if we were trying to include him in the O'Reilly deal, as we had to Leicester, he'd look a top player in Scotland.

Hopefully we can shift a few more of the unwanted players now to earn a few quit back. Going to be a busy end to the transfer window!
So I read he's only started 1 or 2 games upfront since new year. In my opinion he's definitely going to be a cam/cm for us. Then I guess striker cover if really needs be. Coming around to this abit more. Him baleba and weiffer is a very powerful dynamic midfield for example.
Initial reaction is "why do we need another player?" and "we're turning into Chelsea" but when you look at the the ins and outs of first team players (plus those transfers expected to happen) then it makes a lot more sense:
Out:
Gross
Undav
Lallana
Buonanotte
Fati
(Gilmour)
In:
Minteh
Wieffer
Gruda
Cozier-Duberry
(Rutter)
(Ferdi)

Gross
Undav
Lallana
Buonanotte

And save on the wages bill, or at least not add to it too much.

Out also Dahoud & Moder most likely.

yeah, nothing like Chelsea with their 60+ roster. i think they have 8 keepers signed. we look to have added across the board and many players moving on.

And don't forget the loss of MacAllister and Caceido. Our midfield was simply not good enough to compete last season after they left. In my mind this just brings us back up to that level again in midfield plus a stronger attacking array of talent.

whether we are anywhere near that level in midfield remains to be seen, a big ask!

I've still got an account on Wacjkob from the Ben White days, been reading their forum and concensus seems he's a flair player, that can go one too many or sometimes lack end product, sounds a bit Knockaert/Solly'esque?
All gutted he's going, most suggest 40m is over valued and he's not that price level.... (but would trust Blooms data on that!)
Couple of opinions on Rutter and one with grudging praise through gritted teeth!

The depth we have now is really quite insane going all the way down to the 18s. Future is sealed with a lot of these signings.

If they don’t let him go can we take them to court for contract law or something? Totally disgusting they’re keeping him against his will like this….
Oh no, wait? We can actually afford to pay the asking price? Sweet. Cheers guys.

Rutter could of course decide to take a big pay rise and stay. I am not counting any chickens until I see “Train. Arrives. in. Brighton” Albion release
Which is a bit of a worry, tbh

Has Dwayne hacked your account?Which is a bit of a worry, tbh
Completely disagree with that fan's comment about him being poor since February, I watched a few Leeds games at the end of the season (as, and I know I'm in a minority on here, I was cheering them on as desperately hoping they would beat Southampton to promotion) and he was brilliant in them. Totally unplayable at that level at times.
And that is my only concern about this transfer as I said in my post on page 1 when we were first linked. He reminds me of him a lot.
