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

[Change at Barnham]

Thank you Red Bull Leeds.

It turns out young Georginio has wings!
And he decided his best career move was to fly south.

He looks so happy to be here. Not surprising after Leeds I guess.

Players like him who don't seem to fit into one old fashioned 'position' seem to suit us so well. Fluid football. Excited to see him and Pedro together although sure there are ways to play both plus Welbs if Mitoma needs a break. 3-4-2-1 as the front 3 all take up non-standard positions and interchange. Biggest thing though is he looks like having fun. Not sure how Enciso gets back in the side despite cameo minutes.

What’s his song?

After the reaction to his signing I was half expecting us to pinch the Havertz song from Arsenal.

Er, exactly the same as Jack Hinshelwood's. Just Gervinho's name instead.

Such a good fan base when it come to great, imaginative songs

When rumours first started that we were in for Georginio I dismissed them as nonsense.

When it became apparent he was signing for £40, I bemoaned the decision. I pointed to his scoring record and some underwhelming performances in Leeds relegation season. I claimed the club had finally got one wrong. That maybe the metrics we use were a bit overrated

What a f******* mug I am. I was Incontrovertibly wrong. True, these are early days but out of all our summer signings, he's the one who has really hit the ground running.

My mistake, and I was far from alone of course, was to look for his output. What the club have done is sign someone on potential for improvement. And he's improving game by game.

I think most of us could have written this Nobby.

What is also amazing is that he's only 22. He looks and plays like a 30 year old.
He is also at the heart of the team celebrations and the fan interaction.
A very astute signing who puts a smile on people's faces.
