This is one signing I feel a bit meh about, our record signing should be box office.

[Albion] Georginio Rutter - singed 19/8/24
- Thread starter macbeth
- Start date
similar when first heard , His stats not all that.
Have changed mind since seeing the Leeds fans reactions though. Seems to be way above the losing of a "good " player.
Suspect we will see what this is all about once he's on the pitch / mixing with the team etc
Jeez you’d think he’d died or something on the basis of that post
Thank f*** nobody here did this kind of shit when Pascal left
I have to say, I was very impressed with his assists last season.
With Groß gone, he seems like the ideal replacement. He set-up more goals than Chelsea legend KDH in the Championship last year!

The reaction from BHA fans would probably be similar if we missed out on promotion and PL Leeds signed Knockhaert. I’ve seen him a few times and he hasn’t been stand out. Still we don’t normally make to many transfer mistakes so here hoping.

Suspect he will be one of those players who steps up to PL standard or he won’t.

This. Or maybe not.
Leeds certainly expected him too (although he only played 4 or 5 games in the EPL for them).
He is their record signing. Now he is ours.
I back him.

Will love this one to happen, top player and has a lot of room to improve.
What I picked up from his showreels, was his quick feet but more importantly defenders seem to bounce off him. We do have some very clever and brave forwards, but they can all be bullied by a take no prisoners centre half. Away from home in particular having an outlet who can fend off a challenge and then thread a ball through to one of our breaking wingers is something to look forward to.

It's basically been confirmed by Sky, Naylor, Brian Owen and also Hurzeler himself in a post match interview shown on SSN earlier today. We almost don't need an official announcement now

Assuming it's actually pronounced 'Root-air' I can see the old Bruno chant gaining some traction ...

Means nothing, Webster was once our record breaking signing. I believe Ali J and Mewpu also broke that fee... Championship Pedro was until Minteh.
It's just how we do business.

What makes you suspect that?
Probably because those are the two only options

Yes, sarcasm doesn't come across very well in written form. Either that or I'm as deeply unfunny as I suspect I might be

Possibly.
Possibly not.

Yes. One difference though is that Rutter is 5 years younger. Ie he’s 22 rather than 27.

Not sure if this has already been shared but here’s Fabi openly saying this is a done deal.
