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

[hans kraay fan club]

From what Leeds fans say, he actually sounds very similar to Joao Pedro!

Which is a bit of a worry, tbh

Has Dwayne hacked your account?

Quite the opposite.

His similarities to JP, worry me, in case it means JP might be leaving!

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)

Also out
Osiman

Also in
Yalcouye

 

[Flounce]

Also out
Osiman

Also in
Yalcouye

Rumoured to be possibly going to Massive on loan

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Which is a bit of a worry, tbh

Watching highlights reels, he looks more of an attacking midfielder than striker. Pedro is more of a natural striker IMO.

 

[tstanbur]

Also out
Osiman

Also in
Yalcouye

I didn't include Osman as he wasn't in the squad last season and his in/out cancelled each other out!

Initially put Yalcouye but not sure how much he'll feature.

 

[Withdean11]

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.

Yep, very similar player.

I remember back when RDZ said it will be very difficult for us to keep Joao. Could well be some sort of clause in his contract.

On the other hand, perhaps we just want two top class players in each attacking position?

Welbeck/Ferguson
Pedro/Rutter
Minteh/Gruda
Mitoma/Enciso

 

[Giraffe]

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

Yes I agree. As always we are looking at the hype of a player, not the reality. We should probably all remember the excitement the Fati signing gave us and how that turned out!

 

[peterward]

Quite the opposite.

Be gutted if we lost Pedro so soon.

That said, if its pretty obvious that Rutter would prefer Brighton level over Leeds currently, stands to reason Pedro would feel same if European club offering bigger wages is sniffing.

Seems inevitable that day will come, but hopefully no time soon, and unless there's some secret release clause? Bloom can just stonewall until window closes.

Meeting the release clause valuation is one thing.

Any reliable news that Rutter wants to join us?

Surely he would want to play in a top division , especially as Leeds are weaker than last season.
I guess the problem for us would be if he’s got a few suitors.

 

[phoenix]

Any link to that @Bozza comment please? I missed that at the time.

I doubt another club would want to pay what we would demand for JP. He did well last season but his goal tally was flattered by penalties. So there are probably question marks for top level clubs with limited budgets. If this Season goes better than last, summer 2025 will likely be his time . And for major money.

(From past experience and anything goes in the PL), until over the line, I always hold back a bit to allow for the W@nkstanley's and Brady/Sullivan's.

 

[Freddo]

Yep, very similar player.

Welbeck/Ferguson
Pedro/Rutter
Minteh/Gruda
Mitoma/Enciso

But Enciso is far better centrally than he is out wide. I worry about the Adingra rumours, I think he's massively underrated and easily our next best left-winger after Mitoma.

 

[dazzer6666]

Rutter to Chelsea in January for £80m, then

Quite possibly……..but we’ll have a replacement lined up

 

[Super Sub]

Isnt that a picture of Jurgen Locadia...

Let's be honest, clause or not, it is hard to keep any player when the 'big 6' come calling or even those teams willing to double wages. Whilst annoying, it's where we are in the pecking order. I expect a big sale or two over the next t couple of windows and IF they go for acceptable fees then good luck to them. What I can't stand is players like Caicedo and Cucurella who demand a move and go on strike. Total lack of class and respect for the club that has given you your big chance. Ally Mac's departure should be the blueprint for all.

I expect a big sale over the next couple of weeks, to be honest. The squad is far too big to keep everyone happy and PB said we'd be trimming it before too long. If you told me that WBG, JP and Adingra would all be gone by the end of the window, I wouldn't be utterly astonished.
