If Chelsea bid £50m for Rutter then definitely get him sold! He has potential but the reality is he currently can’t shoot and he also gives the ball away a lot particularly when building out from the back

Right now i belive we have 3 players who we really shouldnt sell. Gray, Ampadu and Rutter.

If we can make good money on Gruev then its a no brainer.

Very good breakdown. When people say we only need 4-5 signings I’m shocked, because we already know that Luke, Coops, Rodon, Roberts, Shacks, Anthony are all leaving, on top of Cree and Gnonto and maybe some surprises like Gruev. We’re going to need at least 8 and probably more like 10-12 just to make up the numbers. Going to be a very busy window I think

Rutter has massive potential. He has the skills. He will improve in the finishing department, he s very strong body wise to push of the ball he will be some player for sure in 3/4 years

Gruev is without doubt a Prem player. Very very neat on the ball , great tackler and keeps pocession very very well ……. German style dare I say ! Very efficient nothing flashy , would be an important cog in a well oiled machine without doubt

I’d go for Sam Szmodics from Blackburn, be a good addition given what he did in a poor Blackburn rovers side

Thank you CONOR 👍👌 I'm surprised other clubs don't want RUTTER too... he's like a dying breed type of a player, good old fashioned dribbler, not surprised MARESCA wants him 😥 This is what I was worried about CONOR, this is what happens when you don't get promoted...😢😰😥 Players having to leave because their stock is high & then having to rebuild with new players & then having to all gel together 😫😩 Very surprised about GRUEV's news 😱 Totally unexpected..😩😫 He's done well for us this season, even though he's been inconsistent but he should & would be better for us next season, if we keep him...🤔🙏 But if we should get more money for him than what we bought for him then why not, there are some fantastic youngsters about we could buy for much cheaper & much better players 👍👌🙏 I thought GRUEV & KAMARA are similar players, apart from KAMARA playing up the pitch & GRUEV towards the back, like you say, but both don't shoot & both are sideways & backwards merchants..😥 I'd love us to look at the European market too CONOR, especially for some youngsters, can get them at a very good price too👌👍🙏 What we definitely need next season is players playing in their natural positions, please 🙏 As much as most of us want BAMFORD to leave, you watch, he won't be going anywhere 😫😩

What we are hoping for is that Farke changes his whole ideas on team set up and system of play 🤷‍♂️

If a bid comes in for £50m for any one of our players, we should take it.

Gruev's a tidy player but I'd say expendable because we have a few lads with similar profile. if it means bringing in a more creative midfield option who can unlock a defence every now and then, I could live with it.

Another Superb summery Conor. Top Stuff👌👍

kamara and gruev have no assists and ONE goal between them , is that what we want from a midfield !!!!!!...both can go for me

If the right bid comes in for Gruieve comes in take it,but I feel he was stifled by Farke.HE DOES HAVE A LONG FORWARD PASS AND WAS ACCURATE DEFENSIVELY GOOD

All day long if we make a profit need more dynamism in that midfield a genuine no 10 probably from South America and a couple in the double pivot that can pass and get forward late into the box and get 5/6 per season, that’s the problem I have with Ampadu in the 6. Anywhere near getting our money back for Rutter we have to take it as well his first touch is criminal.

As a Championship club every player has a price BUT we DON'T need to sell. Gruev £15-20M Rutter £40M Summerville £40M Gnonto £20M Gray £50M. If those valuations are met then business can be done but only on our terms.

What about having Charlie crew as cdm back up and having o'hare or Flemming?

Would love to see us getting Matt ORiley from Celtic…..but reckon he’ll only leave for a Prem club.

Id be staggered if chelsea come in for rutter, he doesnt start ahead of any of their current squad. I dont see leeds letting him go for less than they paid ( which was way over priced) 35m, i seriously dont see him being worth anything like that .

I think they are all replaceable as Browney said Dan james if Fit, would of probably passed Cres figures. we need people to get us to the prem not long-term projects at this time

Listen if you don’t like what Conor has to say then don’t listen many fans enjoy this blog so don’t spoil it for the rest of us

I can’t find a single report on Chelsea being linked with Rutter anywhere at all for some reason

Rutter is top class, i don't agree with the comments saying he's not that good, replaceable, gives the ball away too much, nonsense... in my opinion he's good enough to progress at a top premier league club. I said on your channel a week ago someone will come in and offer 30 mil plus add ons and i think that could be enough.

I'd like Georgio to stay as i love watching him play and his style is unique. Gruev is ok but nothing special . If that is his shortcomings or the way that Farke plays him is debatable. There is probably an upgrade available. Whether Farke can find that player and get him to play well is another thing.

If we can get our money back on Rutter I would be OK with him leaving. I love his attitude but he feels like a bit of a luxury in the Championship. With the money we could get a decent No.10 and a striker

Gruev should be sold for that sort of money

Won't be missed

Conor we all seem forget the players are under instructions from farke so if he told how play and just does own thing farke will bin him because he going against farke instructions

So many leaving, I can see us not being able to replace these outgoings before the start of the season. Just like last year that leaves us struggling for wins early season. We will be lucky to finish in the top 6 at this rate. Everyone seems to be happy to sell on our prize assets, I just don’t understand why?

I’m a fan of gruev but if we can get a good fee in to invest in other areas where we need strengthening then do it. A goalscoring midfielder, defenders and a proper number 9 are more of a necessity so happy to take the money. Would like to see a bit more height in this side too….be amazing if we can find players who can score from set pieces

Every player has their price, so it will come down to each individual case. If they want to move get the best price and move on

I’m surprised Todd cantwell hasn’t been linked yet TBH, considering the Norwich-farke links and our need for a no10

If the price and time is right and it allows us to reinvest quickly enough for the start of the new season...it could be a good option...depends on who we replace them with

If we lose Summerville, I think Rutter will play in his role on the RW and we will replace him in the centre, If we can make a quick profit on Gruev after a year it makes sense and helps FFP.

In actual fact, none of us currently know who will stay, who will go, for how much, etc. etc. We'll all have to wait and see. How next season goes totally depends on how we replace nearly ALL our side. Rumours as usual, are rife.😅

Probably false hope, but I hope we finish our business before the season begins.

Love the content mate keep it up

The way it's going at the moment with all the hype about who's in who's out I could not care who we keep because we are Leeds United & all we want is players who will show that they want to play for us 100% MOT

We should be not accepting anything less than a top two challenge. In that case we need rid of a player like Bamford who is on a mega salary and constantly fails to produce when it matters.

Gruev is a nice player in terms of neat and tidy but I don't think he has the pace and power you need, especially in the premiership if we get there.

Gruev is good at the last ditch tackles and stopping attacks from the opposition before they get too far when the ball is lost high up the pitch. I think he is a good player but I don't know if because Kamara pushes up more Gruev feels like he needs to be more careful and not risk it too much. If we can make a good profit I feel like he is replaceable. The 3 (Georgi, Gray & Ampadu) personally I wouldn't sell no matter the bids (unless they try and push their way out). I feel those 3 are important to keep consistency and quality down the spine of the team

We've needed a left back for 10 years.

Would sheaf be playing for Bulgaria? No, are Dortmund after sheaf? No. Gruev is a quality operator. Just look at Batty, he only ever passed sideways yet a legend

Of all our players I really, really hope we can keep 1) Archie and 2) Georgie. Neither is the finished article but the potential is massive for both. Obviously if a silly offer comes it will be hard but I would hope that either or both loves being at Leeds and would turn down a transfer…who knows?!

Can only have "expectations" when we see what we start with.

Please do these every morning. Helps me get through the workday and keeps me up to date on all things Leeds 👍👍

Spurs want Cre. Maybe Leeds want Rodon and Skipp in return (+ cash)? Skipp is one of Farkes favourites. Then we can sell Gruev.

Leeds Must build around Gray and Ampadu in the midfield and we'll be OK. Looks like we'll have money to rebuild. Keep the core. Dan James and Pascal Struijk are good Championship options. Would love to keep Rodon.

Gray should be played as attacking midfield just behind the #9 once the lad builds up his muscle mass and learns the role being played in correct position he will create and score goals a future LUFC captain we HAVE to keep him once back in the pem Gray will have every reason to stay .....MOT

If we can make money on gruev, sell him. We need mids that move the ball forward, get assists and goals.

Watching on catch up Connor you say Leeds midfield are more technical than other teams but surely you should appreciate after the many years in the Championship it's effective midfields that work not technical ones as per why where you still are

Only 3 we need to keep Amp, Archie and Daniel James

I was always concerned that Gruev would not have been good enough for the Premier League had we got promoted. Sell if it's good money

They should sell if the money is right my opinion is we keep Gray and Ampadu and build the team around them everyone else is sellable

Farke is experienced enough to realise, some will be on his back after the first game we lose points, they are just waiting to pounce. Trouble is these people never take the blinkers off.

Whittaker from Plymouth looks good

Do you think Rutter is top half PL ready Conor? Personally I’d say he has some way to go yet.

"After the Stoke game he lost faith in some players". Giving players 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there didn't help did it.

Well this confirms Gruev is better than Roca 😊

Dortmund never ask for "basic" midfielders. And Gruev is not basic for sure..

15mill and I guess they'll accept the offer.

I have to say there is a mentality for fans to become attached to players, what would help fans transition would be to see Leeds interest in replacements. With the 49ers keeping transfers close to their chest, all fans see is our players being targeted to leave. Based on last season it was horrendous the state the club was in pre season. So you need to take that in to account when fans are a bit fickle with comments. With the rumour mill it's all speculation hence the name of the video channel but currently its all one way traffic. Be different once the window open 🤞

I just think with Gruev he does the silent work in the midfield that doesn’t get noticed as much, he has the potential to be better but if we sell him it is what it is

Remember. This is the championship, players in players out, there is no certainty that players in are much better. I keep saying it, they are playing in the championship for a reason.

I'd we got 12m Conor tjat would be great business. Go and get one of Sara, Hamer, Asprilla and play them alongside Ampadu. That is a solid CM pairing

Would you have a look at O'Hare from cov? Or the lad we was looking at from there who went to sheff u? Take advantage on the turmoil there

Rumours are always there, who really needs it in their life !!! There is no point getting serious about such gossip. Any player can go apart from Archie, unless they have offers that are crazy, then maybe. Only a couple of players have played well often enough, hence why some start to blame managers, and ask for changes all the time. There is no real surprise if any player goes, after people have calmed down when they do leave, they will realise that it is not really a shock. SIMPLE.

Be gutted if Rutter goes. I know he can be frustrating at times and his performance understandably dropped after his hernia op but he is the one player of the current crop that can and does do things that others haven’t got in their locker. There isn’t another who will work back, win the ball, waltz past a couple of opponents and then send a perfect pass down the field for a counter attack that often results in a goal. He’s a special player that gets you off your seat just as Raphinia did and his potential is huge. As for Gruev, I like him he is solid and though in the final I thought he was found a bit wanting, I think a lot of what he was doing last season was probably in large part down to the managers directions. Once he got his chance he was superb, winning the ball, feeding it off or sending raking passes out to the wing. But it was noticeable that that stopped and I wonder if that was down to Farke who it must be remembered criticised Rutter after his show of exuberance. I don’t think Gruev is basic but stifled. And this is more a criticism of Farke and what I found to be boring and frustrating football which it was for the large part of the season. At the right price, fair enough he goes, but we need better depth for the forthcoming season. Good show Conor with interesting content. Keep the shows coming as it’s part of my daily go to where ever I may be in the world.

In August Sam Byram's contract is out....Be interesting to see if it's renewed???

I’d sell so we can get someone in to score more goals

Take the money and run! Too many passes sideways and backwards, more is needed in a midfield that scored no goals last season.

Greenwood bit like Geldhart, just not good enough im afraid !!

Not as easy as off loading players though Conor. Not just a case of a bid comes in and the selling clubs accepts if the valuation is met. Personal terms of the player are also vitally important. Archie may not want to leave Leeds and also some of the others you named. Yes going up a few levels to the Prem will be a good step forward for these players but also how likely is it that they will be first choice and get regular football. It might not be the overall package for them as it will be for Leeds in the terms of the transfer fee. Listen football has always been about wheeling and dealing and Leeds not getting promoted has majorly put a dent on the future. Second season won’t be easy at all. Even if some players do go and some come in the ones that do have to hit the ground running. The sky bet championship is a long old division and slog. Every team is competitive and replacing quality with quality isn’t as straight forward. But I think you already know that.

Omobendibeli and wood I'd love.

Gruve going. Welcome back Kelvin

Definitely not sell Rutter now that would be suicidal

Oh No they can't have Georgi .... they can have Summervile or Willy Gueve bit not Georgi 😮

Hopefully Farke's goal for this year is 100 points

Kamara attacking 😂 If a club was linked with an attacking midfielder you would expect goals at the very least. The man doesn’t shoot. He desperately needs to shoot. He’s very good at going forward if only he would add shooting to his game

Would Middlesbrough sell Latte Lath?

I don't mind gruev but honestly if we get a good price, I'd sell

Could be a total re-build? So long as 49ers, Red Bull make big investments. Farke still the man?

Can’t Chelsea buy Aaronsen ? They can have him for two Bob and a packet of crisps

Gruev could not perform when we needed it. Sell him. We need serious aggression in mid field.

Were talking a full rebuild here, is Daniel the man to do it , am in 2 minds

If we can sell Rutter for a bag of sweets get it done

honestly just sell as many as we can and do a proper rebuild. One on the run like this year didn't work tbh

Bugger all on Rutter going to Chelsea, or anywhere for that matter. Utter guff.

£15m and gruev will go and id be happy with that ! We can replace him easily !

Fab published today that Chelsea are only going to sell Omari Hutchinson for 25m/30m. Possibly to free up budget for Summervile

We can’t be losing too many players or else we will have to start all over again. Can see excuses already about promotion

Would ben sheaf, wonter burger be a gruel replacement?

Seen people say 50m for rutter that is crazy 😂 brilliant player exceptional talent. But not proven higher than the championship 20 -25 million maximum . Maybe another good season goes up by 5 million always a ceiling . Until they play in the premier league and then players value rockets . Hope you get the maximum just can’t see it

Josh Sargent would be a really good shout imo……proven he can do the job! Exactly what we need upfront.

I’m all for selling and as Farke doesn’t know his arse from his elbow as far as in game management is concerned and it doesn’t look like he is likely to change that facet of his poor managerial skills we should also sell the youngsters Cresswell Joffy and Joseph and let them become the top notch players they are going to be away from the stiffling constraints of Farkes dictatorial like grip.

Gruev is average , sell for Kalvin loan wages

Farke did build a team that yes won the championship 2 times but also was relegated 2 times.I hope the 49ers don’t just put all their eggs in his basket

Charlie Crew will be if not already is a better player than Gruev and Kamara.

Although I like Rutter I feel he's overrated. He's strong on the ball but then what? Is he solid on finishing, no. Is he strong on finding the assist at the end? No. More times than not he wins a ball, plays bully ball, then turns it over. That doesn't win you games.
