Brewster

[Sheffsteel]

Get him out on loan in January, he's not going to get a new contract in the summer, so get him off the wage bill as soon as. He's been unlucky with injuries and I'm sure he is a lovely lad but it's never going to happen for him at Sheffield United. If he sighs a pre-contract agreement in January with another team with a view to joining them as a free agent in the summer, I'd be inclined for a mutual termination and let them have him for free in January.

The problem is....he's on nearly £40K a week.

He'll do well to be offered £10K at another club in the Championship, don't think a league 1 club could afford him.

So Brewster will only agree to a mutual termination if we pay off his contract in full.
Basically if we want him to go in Jan, it's going to cost us, alternately we could just keep him at the club and use him as a sub, better than nothing.
Think Brewster is probably just about a better option that One.

Bet that sounded really funny in y

Bet that sounded really funny in your head

Absolute brilliant reply Frank, top drawer
Anyone that is privileged enough to have heard UFO will relate to this !

 

[BlairBlade]

What really worried me this afternoon, when Brewster came on, was that we’d get a penalty and he’d insist he’d take it.
Small mercies.

Looking at his record of availability versus injury , which club at what level is going to offer any kind of permanent contract ?
I think he's here till June and then he's no longer our problem and it's over to his agent.

I heard £30k

 

[Keen Blade]

They were always proactive in the market and willing to take a chance on lower league talent at bigger prices.

We have never been a team that has invested that kind of money on lower league team players.

Being optimistic , maybe the new owners realise that finding players on an upward trajectory and trading them profitably is our only chance of progress , even at PL level if we get there.
We've proved twice that PL TV income & parachutes is not enough to avoid running out of money.

 

[b1ade4life]

Just offer him a pay as you play contract with goal bonuses thrown in, he'll end up owing us money then

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I wish him well & hope he can regain form, but think when his contract is up he needs to drop to League One and build from there.

 

[Harry's Game]

I always thought Coutts was the greatest redemption arc of all under Wilder.. but if Brewster turns his career here around from this point it would blow all others out of the water…

However i think the chances are less than 1%

My guess is Swansea offer him a deal on a free in the summer and then in a couple of years he retires with injury.

 

[metalblade]

One thing is certain Brewdog has got six months left to show he is worth keeping otherwise the best he will get will be league one. He can be sure he will get no help from most on this thread which is a shame as we are stuck with him till the summer, I could understand the pile on if he showed the shit attitude of Jebbison but he hasn't far from it he desperately wants to do well.

 

[Bladethebrian]

I thought he was piss poor today

What if Swansea have watched him play anytime in the last 4 years? Surely they wouldn’t even consider an offer for him. They had him for his purple patch over 4 years ago. Why take him back broken?

 

[shorehamview]

Not Brewsters best game, but he had some moments and tried to do what he was brought on for. Good to see him back after a few weeks out

Copy and past this in a few weeks. Repeat until the end of the season.

I like Brewster’s attitude, I wish he’d score a hatful for us, but he won’t.

 

[shorehamview]

Think Brewster is probably just about a better option that One.

Brewster has scored 4 league goals in 82 games for us since he signed. Oné has 1 in 6. I know who I’d be picking, and it isn’t Brewster.

 

[Champagneblade]

He’s a terrible terrible footballer. End of.

The thing is. His brain hasn’t been injured. Him shooting instead of laying on a cross to the right just highlights that he is a poor reader of the game.

 

[JackSUFC]

I still believe there is still a good player in there he just needs a consistent run of games and game time.

What’s the longest run of games he’s been fit for during his 4+ years here? I’m genuinely curious.

 

[Revolution]

What’s the longest run of games he’s been fit for during his 4+ years here? I’m genuinely curious.

He was basically fit for all of his first season, playing in 27 of 34 league games after we signed him.

 

[Trigger Blade]

The thing is. His brain hasn’t been injured. Him shooting instead of laying on a cross to the right just highlights that he is a poor reader of the game.

I’m a bit undecided whether that was his moment of the match or when he tackled O’Hare

 

[mattbianco1]

Yes he's not had the best of times with injuries. Fair enough.
But just WHAT has he brought to the table when he's been fit? Enlighten us.

He's never managed a succession of game due to his injuries.

I'm sure i saw that since he's been here, he's only managed to appear in 4 consecutive games on two occasion. How are you meant to find any kind of form with that consistency?

His stats show that he's played 82 league games for us. But that doesn't tell the whole story. In those 82 games he's played 3174 minutes which is equivalent to 35 games.

This season he's featured 346 minutes which is less than 4 games

It's impossible to suggest injuries haven't caused this

 

[Jan Age]

I think we are coming to the end of the Brewster experiment and it’s looking increasingly likely to fail

 

[mattbianco1]

The facts back that up......4 goals in 82 appearances

4 goals in 3174 minutes. And these minutes are largely made up of 15-20min cameos

 

[mattbianco1]

I'm sure i saw that since he's been here, he's only managed to appear in 4 consecutive games on two occasion. How are you meant to find any kind of form with that consistency

*Start 4 consecutive games

 

[Harry's Game]

It would be a shot to nothing offer on a low wage or even pay as you play, no one else at this level is going to offer him anything,

 

[Blademan89]

Brewster situation looks to me like one of those we have gambled on.

Didzy, Campbell (at the minute) just off top of my head, I'm sure there's others.

Where they have been injury prone or pick up little niggles, struggling to score/find form and a move away and fresh start is all they need with a bit of luck and a prolonged run in the side.

I think brewster has ran his course with us, unless he manages to put an amazing run of games together from now til end of the season where he's scoring and involved in goals (which we can't see). But I can see him going somewhere on a free and end up playing decent.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Needs game time to find his touch but we can't afford to carry him through games on the Championship. Tempted to say we should just give him a month of guaranteed starts in the 23's to get some minutes into him but I'm not sure he's another Osulla - too good for the 23's but not good enough for the Champ. Anyone know, of they top of their heads, how he's done in the 23's in the past?

 

[JPBrods]

He will either end up non league or retired from the game by 30. It’s sad to see, but we also cannot ignore that signing him was an enormous mistake. Thanks Juergen!

In hindsight, a hugely significant misstep, but no one could have predicted his fragility. He came to is off the back of a successful loan and as had been said earlier in the thread, in his first season with us he played a lot of minutes.

Just terrible luck. Maybe there's some fault to be laid at the clubs door for his medical treatment, l don't know, but l can't think of another player, on our books, that's suffered so many injuries is such quick succession.

 

[Yoonited]

The thing is. His brain hasn’t been injured. Him shooting instead of laying on a cross to the right just highlights that he is a poor reader of the game.

And doesn't understand how to find space of his own to positively impact the game.Gets in the way too much,tries too hard.

 

[Champagneblade]

I’d be more than happy to offload him in January. Maybe someone like Stoke would have a punt on him. If any wages or fee could be used to offset a bid for Brereton-Diaz, then that would at least make you feel there is some upside.

We need to either work on a tactic that plays a false 9 with perhaps Brooks coming on wide and Hamer behind O’Hare or McCallum doing similar instead of Brooks.

Having him, or Oné for her matter, other than a 10 minute cameo is like playing a man light.

I’d rather we try Marsh. At least we know he can be clinical and might bring something to the table. He can dribble a bit and has a better reading of the game. He seems a bit David Brooks-lite but perhaps a better finisher.

The good thing is for all the money lost on him, we seem to have picked up a steal in Campbell.

 

[blade too long]

we should loan him out to get a run of games , with a recall option in case it works

campbell had his had barren spells , again through missing games but seems to have struck a seam of gpld , gold gold I tell you
