They are virtually begging him to avoid window spiralling out of control
Leeds United fans are too long in the tooth and bitten by experience to have believed it was safe to go back in the water before August 30. Nobody should have imagined, when Robin Koch began the avalanche of relegation release clauses on July 6, 2023, it would lead the club to this point.

It has never been confirmed by Leeds if such a clause had been activated by the Cherries.
One final month of the window would have to be negotiated, but, surely, with a full-back, central midfielder and statement attacker still needed, United’s outs would be done? Wilfried Gnonto was always seen as the remaining possibility, but Rutter, who has never agitated to leave, has always felt off-limits.
This is his decision and United are virtually begging him to stay. Nothing is seemingly off the table when it comes to convincing Rutter he should turn down the finance and fame of the Premier League. A new contract will not be off the table if that’s the kind of renegotiation Rutter’s representatives need to see if the attacker stays.
The 22-year-old knew of Brighton’s bid before the Middlesbrough loss and did not ask to be removed from selection to protect the move from any injury. He came on and there was no sense of him holding back from a game which had already slipped through home fingers.
