Say goodbye to Brooks

[highgreenintokyo]

He's gone .

To where?

 

[GrayBlade]

He's gone .

He'd better not have CHL or I'll never trust one of your piss-take posts ever again.

 

[I should coco]

That statement seem to be a bit of a 'hands off' to other clubs and reassurance to us, the supporters.

That is the way most of us would read it. More of a message to other clubs to let them and us know he won't be going on the cheap, if he goes at all.

t's not a "new" contract, though. Signed in February. A lot has changed since then.

Good point and you've persuaded me; McCabe OUT!

 

[bertieblade]

Sure they knew he was a talent in February, as wilder has admitted that he had him training with the first team and that he would have played but he wanted a settled side to push on for 100 points.
I now have faith that the people negotiating contracts i.e. Not Phipps and mal branigan have an idea of what they are doing.
Subsequently expect their to be relevant sensible bonuses with relevant release clauses.
Having heard wilder recent interview he does not want him to leave, subsequently if he does there will be a big split between board and management and expect wilder to be looking for pastures new.
Forget about having the money to reinvest etc. Wilder is confident that he will be able to make him a better player and will subsequently have told the board that he wants to keep him not only to play but also as we would make more money when he us eventually sold.
In effect I trust wilder to have more football business knowledge than McCabe and do not doubt that wilder had told him that

Kevin McCabe has said "Brooks will never be sold unless it's for a new world record fee"


He hasn't obviously, but let's have standard bullshit wording when the shit eventually hit the fan and the claims start coming.

Yet another misquote. What he said was 'we won't sell him to the big dogs unless they'll pay us game changing monies, as we need this to achieve Europe in five years, fuck Liverpool, think Barcelona'

No mention of a friendly though?

No, he just said that, grabbed a bottle of charity money from the bar and legged it.

Only in the world of this forum can in 1 minute Wilder announce a contract has been signed and 1 min later ITK say Brooks has gone. Magical!

With the freehold of BL under his arm, naturally.

 

[Snowman]

I don't think even United are that stupid as to sell a player with clear incredible potential for 3.5 million in this market.

When you look at the money being spent by premier league clubs it would be a horrendous deal when you look at Brooks likely future value.

I don't know what is worse. My incredulity at you suggesting United are incapable of stupidity on the scale suggested or my acceptance that such stupidity might be the norm.

 

[S5Blade]

So Brooks has said he doesnt want to go

brooks has signed a new contract

But, hes gone?

We do sell good players on the way up as well though. So I'm not sure what that proves.

Also we've improved our position since the sales of DCL and Adams.

Lies, damned lies........

Both DCL and Adams had extended their contracts but we still ended up selling them. It just means we might get an extra 2 or 3 quid for Dave.

Exactly. The reality is it changes very little from how people saw the situation yesterday.

Fuck a fucking duck . This is getting worse by the minute . The club he's going to are in the process of selling a midfielder of theirs to Hull City ( I haven't a clue who that is ) and this means theyve now been able to sign Brooks .

If this IS true there isn't a person on here who will beat me shoeless to the car park

 

[Pierre's PC]

I'm outraged. That's all

There's only one thing getting worse by the minute pal.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Is it Arsenal?

There we are then, Jon Toral's just gone to Hull

Arsenal are giving us 30m as they see Brooksy as the perfect Sanchez replacement

 

[Kezman17]

Glad he's signed a 2 year contract

 

[bertieblade]

The fact that no one has posted on here for a number of hours, am I correct in assuming that he is staying and the ITK was not really ITK?

 

[zablade]

I have heard he is going..

...or possibly staying.

David Brooks signed a new contract at Bramall Lane earlier this year, Chris Wilder has revealed.

The Sheffield United manager, speaking at the Championship club’s training ground this morning, confirmed Brooks was handed fresh terms towards the end of last season but that “we didn’t chose to make a fuss of it” at the time.

“David did that in February,” Wilder said. “So we’re protected there. There’s not any worries on that score.”

Brooks, aged 20, has enjoyed a stellar rise since being plucked from the Steelphalt Academy following Wilder’s appointment 15 months ago. Having impressed during Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie against Leicester City, he could make his first league start for United when Derby County visit South Yorkshire on Saturday. Brooks’ present agreement is believed to extend until 2019.





Good to see this confirmed but it's nothing new to me, I thought he had at least 18 months left. I got quite excited there for a second!

Hopefully 2019 means summer 2019, surely it will do if it's a senior contract he signed.

We should still be looking to extend it though. Because the better he does, the harder that'll get.

Contracts usually run to June 30th

I agree with you completely in principle but some players are just destined to move on to bigger and better things and brooks is certainly moving in that direction, the premier league looks nailed on for the lad and even if we keep hold for the next 2 seasons it's only a matter of time before he wants premiership football and potentially an England call up. Like I said nothing's written in stone for him yet but he's certainly heading in this direction.

I do agree with you, some players are clearly a class above others and are destined for better things quicker than we can provide them however, I wanna see us get to see the talent he has and excite our crowds before moving on to new horizons. I'm very glad to see today that he has signed a 2 year extension until 2019. Sadly, these things often don't mean much in modern football but at least its something to cling on to

Imagine, you could have been excited in February, when he signed it , although less so, because he wasn't worth as much then.

 

[blade too long]

The negativity of some of our fans knows no bounds . If there isn't a crisis they can invent one . Even a deaf blind dumb dimwit can see Brooks is in CWs plans and only some ridiculous sum would force a sale .
We are holding all the aces we don't need to sell so can ask a stupid price for a player yet to start a league game . However he's already better than Tony Currie in some people's appraisals despite achieving nothing yet. Only a blade could lift a player to such a pedestal before he's proven his worth.Ive seem some over hyping in recent years but this is ridiculous
