Zebbys Leeds United General discussion

[Titman]

Well when the £35m offer was received, Hoffenheim probably made him pack his bags at gunpoint. A lot of money for a player of his profile.

What sources in Germany?

Hell of a lot for a lad who cost €750k 12 months earlier.
Kerry Hau of SPORT1 with the Koch story and Kicker with the Rutter one.

Daft fee. Just looked at current top scorers in the Bundesliga. In their prime bought recently for around £5-10m. Then there's players like Werner who was prolific in Germany over 4 seasons, still only 27 and went in summer for around £18m (according to transfermrkt)

What has Rutter done in Germany in 1 year to be worth £35m?. He's worth twice as much as Werner by virtue of his age alone? Ridiculous.

Keep getting told he’s got great potential and in time will be great. Not really seeing it myself tbh. Runs like a spastic, can’t pass for shit. Probably doesn’t help that he’s not a fucking #9.

Shame if true about Koch. Him and Wober look relatively steady together.

In article here Rutters saying 2 of early clubs have had 300 k, doesn’t say if it’s each or if it came from him or his transfer. Eitherway, agents must be on a hell of a cut if we really paid that much for him.

Aye you'd expect.
What's his reputation like in France? For that money I'd expect him to be ripping it up for u21s. Most of his caps seem to have come at youth level.

Is he defo not a no.9? During his introduction presser he said he was a lone striker, playing right down middle.
Might not be a no.9 like but seems that's what we've brought him here for.

Roma got Tammy Abraham for same price. 2 prolific seasons in the champ for 2 different clubs and 15 goals in a season in the Prem for Chelsea.

The highlights I saw of him, couple of headers, but mostly seemed to be cutting in from the left? A French 9? That’d be like Giroud. We’ll see.

TBH i’ve never seen him mentioned before. As i said other day, he’s only from about 30 mins from me, place called Plescop. The bigger of his 2 local teams was vannes who are semi pro. I’d certainly not heard of him before so not sure what his rep was there. He played 4 times for Rennes without scoring and has only played twice for the French U21’s no goals again. Scored 11 in Germany. Big fee for potential. Looks like he may have something but still a lot of money for him.

Some cunts had a backhander for Rutter

[Schwantz34]

The ex Ajax fella we almost employed is off to Brugge to replace Scott Parker.

[Titman]

For context, if we were to sell Gnonto this summer based on the amount Rutters value ‘grew’ over a similar period he’d be going for £198m+

[Rick]

Gracia effectively saying Rutter isn't a no.9, played there to help the side when we had no 9s fit, which contradicts what Rutter himself said when he arrived.

I think he's so raw still he hasn't found his niche. Seems we've loaned out Joffy to make way for another Joffy, spent £35m to do so, and go into the critical stage of the season without a fit striker.
