He's not the player you need in the middle of a relegation battle. I get it if we had the luxury for him to embed and eventually come good. In January, we would have struggled to have brought in a proven forward. This is a time when clubs rarely sell their talent or prices are just inflated. A big concern is that if we do go down, what will happen to Rutter. I really can't see half of our squad hacking it in the Championship, far too light weight.
The problem is a Danny Ings or someone wouldn't come to be benched by Rodrigo and Bamford, and those two would be unhappy with the competition.
