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

[London Irish]

We’ve signed quality player after quality player. It’s not been that bad.

My Albion mojo has gone through the roof, it's a genuinely amazing time

 

[DJ NOBO]

But my appetite's been whetted - or maybe I'm just a greedy/spoilt bar-steward

What bar? If you show all Albion games I’ll have to pop down

Yes but l'm greedy, l want one more!

FFS, I'm getting bored of this. I'll be so glad when the Transfer Window is over - why can't it close when the new season starts?

Really ? We’re probably having the best window in the PL. Pundits are aghast (or full of admiration), fans of other clubs are angry and we’re not even finished yet. Loving every minute of it.

Wonder what the chances are that the delay relates to a possible lower cash transaction with players going the other way to make up the difference? They’ve lost Rutter, Somerville, Kamara and Gray this window. We may well be looking to move-on players like Dahoud, Sima, Moder…….
We also have a number of players we would be seeking to loan at Championship level (Crozier-Duberry, O’Mahoney…..)

Is that prison slang for something?

Its a cry for help.

Moder is too good for the Championship, IMHO. He could do better. I can't see Dahoud fancying it. He'll go back to Germany, or maybe Turkey, you'd think. Sima: maybe. If they fancy him. Otherwise he'll be back off to the MTL, surely?

ACD seems like a good bet for The Leeds.

RUTTER JOINS ALBION FROM LEEDS

We are delighted to confirm the signing of Georginio Rutter from Leeds United.

The Frenchman has signed a contract that runs until June 2029, subject to work permit.

Men’s first-team head coach Fabian Hurzeler said, "Georginio is a player who has the capabilities to get fans off their seats and really showed what he can do in English football with Leeds last season — but I have known about him since he played in Germany for Hoffenheim.

“Now we have to integrate him into the team. We’re looking forward to working with him.”

Technical director David Weir said, "Georginio is a player we have been looking at for a while. He's a strong technical player and one we are excited to bring to the club. We look forward to seeing him continue to develop with us."

The 22-year-old came through the youth ranks with Stade Rennais, making his debut in September 2020 in a 3-0 win over Saint-Etienne.

He left for TSG Hoffenheim in February 2021 where he would make 64 appearances, scoring 11 goals.

Georginio spent two years in Germany before Leeds United made him their record signing in January 2023.

He made 11 appearances for the Whites that season as they were relegated from the Premier League. He was a mainstay in Daniel Farke’s team during the 2023/24 campaign though, making 51 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals and notching 16 assists.

He has represented France from under-15 up to under-21 level, making his debut for the under-21s in March 2022.
