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

[bluenitsuj]

Please no. Awful player

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Please no. Awful player

How many times have you watched him out of interest?

He really isn’t an awful player at all.

 

[GT49er]

This has been on my mind as well.

Watching a few St. Pauli games in preparation for the arrival of Fab, I noticed that all the St. Pauli players were natural athletes - tall, athletic, run all day types.
I suspect we will be looking at those kinds of players from now on.

Step forward Jakub Moder!

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Interesting. Reasonably similar in profile of player to Joao Pedro.

He was very good last season. Would be keen as long as it’s not in place of Joao Pedro. If it was to be alongside Joao Pedro, I’d be interested to know where they’d fit in a team together.

Pleased that we’re looking at more muscular/physical players if KDH and Rutter are going to be typical of the types of player we’re looking to sign. We definitely had too many smaller, less physical players last season than is ideal.

Great point.

Not sure about either KD-H or Rutter to be honest, but agree with your point, against the Villa’s of this world, at times, it looked we’d brought a knife to a gun fight.

 

[Eric the meek]

Step forward Jakub Moder!

I would love him to take a step forward. The trouble is, he never quite seems to to take that step up to the plate. He can do a fetch and carry job, but does he ever boss the midfield?

 

[Mike Small]

I think we should be aiming and should do much better than this chap. He's no Pedro from the Championship for a start.

 

[Pavilionaire]

It’s his assists we’re surely looking at, not the goals so much?

How many assists will he get in the Prem if his Championship pass success rate is only 69% and his successful dribbles is only 52%?

I think Transfermarkt has his value about right at Euros 18mill. Leeds paid double this price to get him - Hoffenheim mugged them.

Stats aren’t the best I grant you. But there is something in the eye test I find appealing. He looks very good at turning defenders in the middle of the pitch. He is two footed and goes either way. I’ve just got a hunch that because he is relatively young, we’re seeing a development opportunity.

He is of a good size and looks powerful. Perhaps a good partner in the middle for Billy until he gets on his bike up the pitch and is replaced by the ball playing centre back in the Hürzeler system when we have possession. With Billy and someone like Wieffer behind him, I think he could really make things happen higher up the pitch. And of course, he could swap positions with Pedro or Welbeck quite easily. He also looks strong on the wing.

I think we might go up to £35m with this one. Let’s see. He knows he has a chance of Premier League football now if this story is to be believed. The last thing Leeds needs in pre-season and August is a miserable player.

 

[Simster]

It's a masterstroke by Uncle Tony to try and get Chelsea to buy him.

Imagine if it worked - pissing off two of the most obnoxious fans bases in the country at exactly the same time

 

[B-right-on]

Yeah those stats aren't earth shattering

Not sure if I can see us forking out another £30m in this window unless it's someone remarkable and he doesn't seem to be.

But I know nothing. Wife can attest.

I suspect your wife and Mrs T are part of a super-coven

 

[Pavilionaire]

I hope Tony's data is a little more sophisticated.

One is a midfielder the other is a CF.

The point is good attacking players ahould outperform their xG in the Championship because they are high quality.

Rutter is a No.10, an atacking midfielder who likes to drift about behimd the No. 9. He should have scored more goals last season - Dewsbury Hall outscored him 12 to 7 playing from a deeper position.

I watched Leeds several times last season and can't recall a match where Rutter dominated, unlike Summerville who was consistently quality.

As has already been stated in this thread, Rutter is a provider not a finisher. I believe we are looking to replace the assists we are about to lose with Pascal Gross' departure.

We tried and failed to sign Dewsbury-Hall who made 14 assists last season and have now moved on to Rutter who had 15. Only Ipswich's Davies has more, but we're well stocked at LB.

USGs Puertas would probably be out first choice, but UEFA have scuppered that for now, maybe we'll hold off until January when the embargo has expired.

Unfortunately, I think you are right.

 

[Nobby]

This guys highlight reels show him giving the ball or losing the ball most of the time

 

[Marshy]

I think he looks decent. Has all the attributes. A lot of improvement left in him i would think

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

If we're looking to replace Gross with Rutter, I think i'm going to start going to watch hockey somewhere instead

 

[nwgull]

I know very little about him, so just had a look on WACCOE to get the general mood. Have to say that there doesn't seem to be nearly enough angst about the potential for losing him to us to make me think that he's anything special.

Although I suppose we ought to trust the Star Lizard data crunching more than the forum users on WACCOE.

 

[Withdean South Stand]

This is a very strange one. He's rubbish and will never be a top end player. Physically, he might have the attributes but he doesn't have the ability to be a top end footballer.

 

[Clive Walker]

We are to Leeds Utd what Chelsea are to us!
