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

[Eric the meek]

The Leeds fan I am mates with (singular) didn't speak to me for 3 days after this transfer as he was so heartbroken. Said he's a joy to watch and will be great at Brighton when he finally got over himself.

Sounds like Leeds fans are all over the shop where Rutter is concerned. Some regret his departure, others don't.

I don't think they've ever really got over losing Bielsa and then the Jesse Marsch year in the wilderness.

Adingra ?

Remind me not to post lists of players Dazzer. I always seem to miss a few out.

Hardly surprising with our current squad, even Fab struggles

Thanks for not mentioning the Kiernan Dewsbury Hall thread (who I unwisely said was going to be our first player with a double-barreled surname).

It was brutal. Brutal. I'm still receiving counselling for that one.

Adingra ?

Ahh yes...the list is pretty big

Yes all right, all right.

I've just got to find some urgent business on the war thread @raymondo. I might be back later....

I do wonder if we have looked at his stats and will try and convert him into a different type of player dropping a little deeper into the midfield. For me he doesn't look to be an out and out striker as the price tag suggests. I guess we will have to wait and see, but I expect to see slow development for him in a stacked position for places.

What has the price paid got to do with his position?

Well forwards usually have a bit of a tax on them for being goal scorers. we have paid a lot of money for him so we must have a plan for him to fill a certain role and whatever that role is the club have deemed 40 million was worth it.

 

[um bongo molongo]

This was an actual person who I actually spoke to, face to face, who actually goes to games

I had a similar conversation with a similarly real life Leeds fan. The one he’s gutted about losing is Archie Gray. Said of Rutter ‘he’s either brilliant or totally rubbish and there’s nothing in between’. He can’t believe we spent £40m on him.

Yes Leeds paid over £35m for him themselves.

Think that’s as much to do with heritage as potential……..it’s the equivalent (at least) of Hinshelwood leaving us

I get what you're saying but don't think it works like that.

Pretty sure Rutter isn't going to be a prolific goalscorer for us - but hopefully he'll still be very effective and well worth the £40m.

For context, Caicedo, Rice and Fernandez all recently went for over £100m and hardly ever score/assist.

This is going to be a brilliant season for anyone who really loves a good pile on. We have aquired so much attacking talent we can't possibly play them all, so someone has to "fail" and as we have such a long history of parsimony, they can only fail expensively.

It also must be said that us fickle supporters will be clamouring for some of the worldbeaters stuck on the bench to start the next game, as soon as we start losing. Can Hürzeler not see what we can see?

Watching Rutter's show reel, players seemed to bounce off him. He doesn't seem to have had that effect when wearing a Brighton shirt, in fact he has looked a little ackward and clumsy to me. I do look forward to seeing him play on the right with Minteh through the middle against a couple of carthorse centre backs trying to hold a high line. Then we will be able to judge the quality of his assists.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Could not disagree more about Minteh.

He works incredibly hard and is a constant danger. We don’t score the first goal against Everton without his outstanding acceleration to beat his man from a standing start and we don’t score that goal on Saturday without his ridiculous pace and strength against a physically formidable Arsenal defence.

The works hard is a key thing. Always looking to press or get the ball back.

Not even played 20 minutes for us yet has he

And was already involved in a goal

but yeah , get rid

 

[Disco Snr]

I hope this is a joke!!!

Thank you HiHeidi, you've reaffirmed my reasons for for hardly ever posting.

 

[ChickenBaltiPie]

Considering the minutes he’s had thus far, I cannot take anyone seriously that has formed an opinion on him already. Seriously?! Come on!

 

[Hiheidi]

Thank you HiHeidi, you've reaffirmed my reasons for for hardly ever posting.

I'm so confused I couldn't work out if you were carrying on the joke about him playing against Wolves (even though he is cup tied) or if you genuinely didn't realise. I still don't know but didn't mean to offend anyone.

(But to explain: I "hoped you were joking" because - as has been pointed out many times, Rutter would not be able to play against Wolves because he is cup tied).

Bit unfair, how many minutes has he had so far ?

 

[Cheggers]

It's a bit early to form an accurate opinion of Rutter, but from I've seen so far, he seems big, strong and skillful. He glides past players. Reckon he might be decent for us, fingers crossed.
