11.5 days to save the season

What’s happening with Rutter…. 5 days on and he’s still not signed and looking at Brighton that day I don’t think he gets a sniff in that team other than as a sub.

How have we done well with Nick Hammond by the way, as far as I can see he's been in aestivation for the last month, nice work if you can get it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For us thick sods.....had to look it up ...

"Aestivation is a state of dormancy into which an animal enters during hot and dry periods"


So, again, a comment with no basis. Yes, you can't see any results yet, but guy might have been working his bolleaux off for all you know.

I really don't get this need to expel energy on nothingness
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much evidence he's doing much, he's clearly not coming into work and sleeping all day but there's little to prove otherwise to your average fan. Kebab said he was doing well, last season Ampadu, Kamara, Gruev, Byram, Rodon, Crew, Darlow, Piroe, Pirie, McDonald, Anthony, Spence and Roberts.
This season Rodon, Byram, Cairns, Bogle and Rothwell.
The positions that most Leeds fans and Farke have identified as needing covering remain uncovered.

Surely the time to evaluate whether he has done a good job is the 1st September, Bamford in the year he was banging goals in and was called for England was doing a good job.

BBC & Sky sport have just confirmed Rutter has signed for Brighton for £40million. I wish him well and it will be interesting to see what impact he has in the EPL a little over 15 months since his last rather disappiinting appearance in the big league.

I wonder if a part of our transfer problems is that we seem to be totally focused on a narrow band of British players? Bad as Orta was, if you add up his incomings and his outgoings, I suspect he is in profit. We also have to acknowledge how much joy we got from Raph, Rutter, Cree and presently, Gnonto.
I find it difficult to believe that somewhere on this planet, there is not a professional footballer who would give his right arm to play for Leeds. So who is looking at the players and why are they not coming in? I just saw Arthur Nwonkwo play a blinder in goal for Wrexham yesterday. Aren't these technical directors paid to find talent like this? What exactly do they do all day?

..and you know how everyone was wetting themselves that we've gotta pay most of the Rutter money to Hoffenheim?


Hoffenheim had no sell on clause.

Keep reading that Farke has quite a few criteria for a player to be considered worthy of his ranks. How about
we just use one: very good at football. And stop fcking
about and build a squad.

Remember when contract king said

“dont worry there isnt many with loan clause”

Forgot to mention half of side has transfers clauses ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know if we can dictate terms of the payment on a release clause? In Rutter's case, can we demand that Brighton pay all up front?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I did think this myself. Brighton may have met the release clause amount but surely the terms of the payment must be in that clause too. Otherwise as you say, Leeds could say pay it all upfront in sixpences, if they wanted to avoid the sale. 🤷‍♂️

Strange the way people were saying how good the players coming in last year were good players and are now saying the 49ers are the bollox of the earth!..

The way the 49ers work, and it was said when they were taking over that they do things in the background and don't let on until things are done, they've done well at getting some of the unwanted players out and getting better money for players they're now having to let go!..

Why is it people say things about a small squad and things not happening, maybe the small squad will be added to with players like at the start of last season we had no idea about!..

Some players than came in late but there were some good players in there!..

We’ve already dropped 4 points, 2 games in.

How many deals can we make in 11.5 days? We will have played 2 more games in that time and incoming players have to settle in the area, get to know their teammates and gel into the team.

All crucial time lost. We’ve surely had money to spend for a month and done nothing.

Unless Farke becomes a tactical genius over night, I honestly can’t see anything but maybe playoffs this season.

Wasted too much time already. Pathetic owners
