possibly rodon. positioning is awful but his pace gets him out of trouble.
gnonto

and that's it I think.

5 quality players needed.

Gray
Gruev
Ampadu
Gnonto
Rutter
James
Rodon
Roberts
Summerville

Gruev looks good enough as does Rutter, he has a lot of potential. I’d sign Connor Roberts up at RB too. Also need an upgrade at 10 or at least a quality option there off the bench. I think James looks like he’s now capable of making it in the prem too.

gruev and rutter i wasnt sure about. they might step up or may not

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Fri Apr 19, 2024 10:17 am  

I would go with Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Gruev, Gnonto and Summerville.
Possibly Kamara but I have doubts as he`s struggled recently.
Both James and Rutter failed in the Prem before and I don`t think Rutter will have the luxury to do what he does/did in the Championship.
Likely we will need upwards of 10 players should we go up.

Looking at the remaining fixtures and Leicester have 3 home games from their last 4 whilst Southampton have 3 away games from their last 4.
And of course Southamprton play both Leicester and us.
All very exciting and no good for my heart!

For the neutral football fan ,this end of season battle is compelling. Nail biting stuff if you’re fans of any of the top four teams.

Its been an absolutely bonkers season with x4 teams panning just about every other.

could be anyone from the top four who finally get over the line as champions.

Rutter didnt fail in the prem last time at all.

He was frequently brought on with 10 mins to go and tasked with saving a team that was sinking.

And did he manage to do it?

Messi wouldnt be able to do it.

You cant write off a 20 year old and say he failed because of that.

Rutter is a totally different player to last year. He played next to no minutes for an appalling manager who was clueless. He's got a manger who believes in him now, he's had a great season and created so many goals, he's only a young lad at 21 and has bags and bags of potential, he was very highly thought of as one of the top young players coming through in the Bundesliga.
