Car turning up at the training ground just now I think.

Yes!, Looking in the rear-view mirror. Behind the head-rest.

No, a pathway to the first team.

Likely to be loaned out, always was.

But if you were him why would you come to Brighton to then go on loan, instead of staying at Arsenal and going on loan?

Because my main rival Bukayo Saka is world class and likely to be around for another 10 years.

Yep - with a release clause it's player-driven....'Brighton are meeting my release clause - I'm off mate so get the paperwork faxed over'

He wants to play in the Premier league so not much chance of staying at Leeds.

I’ve heard confirmation that he is going on loan. It’s the pathway as @Han Solo says. He’ll be our No.1 RW in a few years.

Cars go in and out of there all day, Doubt that's anything special.

RDZ going to ask TB why he didn't splash the cash for him.......and now looking at getting a Norwich winger !

Could be Gumbo?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Agreed - that definitely IS a car.

Apedant would argue it *could* be a van (looks very Merc Vito-ish).

 

[jcdenton08]

Leeds fans are taking it well…

The SUPERFANS on Twitter are taking it even better

 

[jcdenton08]

Oh and “we’d be mad to take £100m”

LOL.

That's fantastic.

My football mojo had been hovering near rock bottom for a while, but it'll be lifted a bit if those Yorkshire goons lose one of the fan favourites!

It’s clear that we were very keen to get the player. Went back twice and submitted an offer at release-clause level minutes before the deadline to ensure no one else was in for him. The two initial offers made presumably in the hope that Leeds would accept something lower, and also to flush out any interest from other clubs.

If Albion were that determined, we have to presume that FH has identified Rutter as a key member of his vision for the side.

If we’re spending £40 Million on one player, I’d hope our analytics, Bloom, Barber, Weir, Hurzeler, and even the tea lady have given the thumbs up on this one.

 

[saafend_seagull]

I don’t think I rate it as a strategy if that’s what it is. It sounds just like Chelsea’s, but on a less ridiculous scale.

Take Cozier-Duberry for example, who joined on the basis of being given an opportunity in the first team, and we’ve since spent c£60m on two players that would both be picked ahead of him in his position.

Not true - did you talk to him yourself? He and Sarmiento will be loaned out.

 

[Taybha]

Why not get all these new players we don't actually need to paint the bloody roof Blue, they'd definitely be earning more per hour going on what the outside of my bloody bungalow cost me.

 

[SweatyMexican]

I hope he becomes the next Pedro (by coming from a struggling Watford himself) and just has it. Almost becoming the main man overnight.

That's the best post I've seen in a long time. Brilliant.
I had forgotten what Leeds fans were like !

 

[dazzer6666]

Exactly that. And significantly cheaper in terms of landing fees etc as well I would think.

Here are Gatwick's fees per movement (so once for landing and again for taking off again), can't find Biggin Hill fees, but expect less than these:

Biggin Hill is probably less than £100 (or about that). Also, anyone will be in their waiting car 2 mins after landing there....................
