If Rutter is the answer

[Billyni]

What is the question

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

What is the evidence Orta is mental?

[WTF11]

"How do you pi55 away £30+ million of your organisations hard earned cash"?

Or,

"What's the best way for your dear departed DoF to right royally f00k with just one player"

Or, depending on who the respondent might be;

"We really do manage to get some "good bits of business" like him"

All roads do sometimes go to Rome.

Worst signing in our history potential, hope it comes good but god he looks terrible. Just nothing redeeming about anything he does, no ability to run with it, doesn't hold it up, never in right position, presses but never gets stuck in, flick ons never go to our players.

Nah, JKA is, and always will be, the most monumental disaster of a signing ever, by whatever measure, value to the club, contribution, minutes played, etc etc etc. Makes Rutter look like a bargain (at least he has managed to play more than 10 minutes at a time), but both arranged by the brilliant man who now holds the same position with Sevilla. I'd have sympathy with them, but they are spanish, so maybe not.

Orta must have been on some really good charlie to scout him and pay 30 million plus the stupid spanish 4 eyed twit!

Rutter never decided the fee for starters WTF.

A classic case of a player lacking match sharpness and confidence.

Physically he's a different player to last season, much stronger and his pressing was good tonight. Farke knows were he'll fit Rutter in for sure.

For me given time & fans support he'll come good but not as the lone striker.

Maybe i saw the game differently as i was in attendance.

The touch and end product in the opposition third will hopefully come in time.

Nice to see you post again Mrs O. We may have crossed swords in the past, but I have to say I have missed your contributions,, hopefully this isn't a solitary one?

As to Rutter, promoted above what he was capable of, and we invested way too much, that has led to overblown expectations. Will he ever be good enough to justify the sums paid, or the expectations? Jury is out, he has to prove himself.
