Brewster

[Frank the tank]

End of contract and hasn’t signed a new one.

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

He’s gone!

So glad he’s finally gone but can you believe the cheek he’s got to turn down our offer because he thinks he can get more elsewhere! Good riddance

 

[Tezza1889]

Might do OK for them, he might get the ball crossed into the box instead of it being overplayed on the edge of the box while the opposition defence reset..

Every striker we signed under wilderball tactics wasn't prolific, surely it wasn't the players running out of talent on the day they signed for us...

Anyway, happy hes gone, he will go down as a very expensive mistake, was it 5 goals in 5 years?

I would have said extend his contract on reduced terms, the club has been more than patient with him through injury after injury, if after all that he doesn't want to sign a contract phuck him just goes to show the lad has no loyalty or gratitude for the time he was paid well as the joker in the treatment room. Kind of leaves a bad taste in the mouth the ungrateful shitbag he ought to be a junior doctor.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

He’s gone!

Nice to have it confirmed.
If we hadn't already replaced him with Cannon I'd be feeling really great about this news.

Ungrateful shitbag? Grow up. It's a short career, players try and maximise their earnings, like pretty much everyone else would. Some real entitled wet wipes about.

You are talking about someone who we have already made a millionaire with next to nothing in return. "Ungrateful shitbag" seems a fair description to me.

He is an ungrateful shitbag. But the alternative of him being grateful and sticking around is far far worse. So I'm very glad he's an ungrateful shitbag!

 

[Keen Blade]

When I hear the name Brewster a visceral wave of disappointment & anger shudders through my body.
Same with Robbo.
We need to declutter.
Get rid of these mistakes from the Wilder era.
Give Reuben a chance to start afresh.
Nothing personal against either lad but they're from an era of failure.
Get rid.
Move on.

What exactly did you expect him to do? Say "oh, I've been out injured, I'll just take SSP until I'm back fit and not my contracted wages"?

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Should never have been no new contract offer in the first place
Here you are Rhian you’ve done naff all for five years here’s another contract

 

[bertieblade]

On a payment by results basis on a minimal basic I would have him back.
Confident that if he remains fit he will prove to be the player that he was when playing for England

 

[Blade56]

He’s like all overpaid footballers, sh!tbag feels a tad strong but I get the sentiment. He’s as much of a sh!tbag as Ndiaye, Currie, Sabella, Berger et al. Unfortunate for him he bombed here for various reasons and no doubt would get booed if he returns for another team whereas Ndiaye would be cheered.

It doesn’t matter what has happened in the last 5 years. The question now is whether he is worth having in the squad and at what cost. Exactly the same questions to be asked of any new player.

I don't think that is fair though.

We don't know what was offered.

We might have said "Rhian, you are a good lad, but you have scored as much as a Mormon in a crack house. All we can offer is £1m for each goal you score as a 3 year contract. Oh and we have much better forward options so you aren't likely to play that much"

his response has then been

"Cheers Bruv. I love this club and I love this amazing city. But I have dreams and aspirations. My body has let me down but I feel ready to try and prove that I am good enough to be in a teams starting 11. So I am going to go and see who will take me.

Just one question before I go... who put the ball in the Wednesday net?"


In all seriousness. Glad he will be going, but GLTTL. Those that signed him are to blame for how much they paid.

Fresh start all round and hope he does well.

Ndiaye worked his socks off for us , got me to my feet like no other Blades player of recent years , helped get us a crucial promotion and generally deserves all the praise - ok , he left us in the lurch , but money talks and I've no hard feelings.
Whereas Brewster ......

Damn those Junior Doctors starting an incredibly difficult career, working very long hours, helping people.
Minimum wage and just grin and bear it

Speak for yourself.

Ndiaye showed his true colours by committing to the club, and then throwing it back in our faces at the last minute. That shouldn't be ignored just because he's got twinkletoes.

Brewster has always tried to repay the faith that the club showed in him by signing him in the first place. And while that has not turned out successfully for anyone involved, it's not because he didn't care.

Don’t condone booing. Agreeing with you whatever the players contribution to the club they will always chase the money, fact

 

[AnstonBlade1]

We need to move forward not keep harping on to the past

 

[Shadota]

I'm still naive enough to think that there might still be players around who aren't like that. The more that time goes by, the more I'm having to accept that it simply is not the case.

For clarity, as I don't think I made it very clear before, I wouldn't boo either Ndiaye or Brewster, were either of them to play at BDTBL for another team. But of the two, I believe that Brewster is the only one worthy of my respect. Ndiaye showed he had no respect for the club by leaving in the manner he did, so I see no reason to offer him any in return.

This is the distilled essence of that certain type of Sheffield United supporter. We’d much rather have players that run around a bit and ‘care’ rather than generational, world class talents who are actually good because we overly value some vague notion of player ‘loyalty’.

 

[Pintor75]

He can go to Leicester with Mcburnie, Swift & Wallace if wilder get the job, he's finished with us, moved on

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Brewsters playing career, as been more or less finished by injuries, sadly it was an expensive gamble what's failed miserably, its not his fault with the price tag whatever we paid! Just a hunch but I reckon Liverpool knew about his hamstrings were dodgy, and we're looking to get rid quickly!

I just don’t think he was good enough before injuries, wasn’t keen at the time we signed him thought he hadn’t shown enough and wasn’t blown away by what he’d done at Swansea, also had/have the same feeling about the Cannon signing but we’ll just have to hope that one comes good.

I was thinking the same.... the Cannon signing worries me as well, if he had cost £2mill I would say its a gamble, but allegedly £10 mill, that's got to be mental! Hope he proves me wrong

 

[Blade56]

Ndiaye showed he had no respect for the club by leaving in the manner he did, so I see no reason to offer him any in return.

Yep, did the dirty on club and Hecky at last minute

Nice effort at trying to pigeon hole me. Sadly, you missed the target by a hefty margin. My sentiments towards Ndiaye aren't about a lack of loyalty.

It's common knowledge that he is/was a Marseille fan, so the fact that he could move from United, to a club playing in the top league in France, who also were competing in European competition, that happened to also be his childhood club? Absolute no-brainer. Were roles reversed, and I was in Ndiaye's shoes, being given the opportunity to join a United side competing at the upper end of the Premier League, I'd crawl to Bramall Lane to sign a deal if I had to.

My issue comes from the fact that Ndiaye had committed to United. The deal was agreed, he would be the highest paid player in the history of the club, we even had the video package made up to announce him signing new terms. And then at the last second, he bailed out and took the Marseille offer instead. Drag out contract talks for most of the summer, agree terms, and then right as you're about to put pen to paper, you tell your current club "actually, no thanks - I'm off"? I'd call that out as shitty behaviour, even if it wasn't us on the receiving end. He could have been playing anywhere and I'd still believe him to be in the wrong.

As for the "run around a bit and 'care'" thing, if you'd read anything of me talking about Jack Robinson, you'd know that I'm not someone who thinks like that.

Yes, What would you do in his situation?

Leicester have agreed terms with the QPR boss IMO can't see Wilder finding a club that could afford our old deadwood.
