Reluctant though I am to add to yet another Brewster thread, I think some folks should just take a breath really and not be jumping to conclusions about our Board being stingy or short-sighted by not progressing this deal, yet. I don't think it's about us not having the money, I think it's all about negotiation.
From what we hear, Liverpool want to sell, but the price that's being banded around, £20M, on one hand seems a lot for a young kid who's got one good season on loan behind him in the Championship last season. What would have been his value at this time last year? Maybe a quarter of that? On the other hand, if he can reproduce that kind of form at Premier League level he'd be worth double that in a year's time.
Looking at it from our perspective, we are desperate to add another striker, preferably a young one with an eye for goal, to the squad. And this lad sounds like he could be a great prospect. Don't forget though that there's always two sides to a negotiation. Liverpool are also very keen to get some money back in the coffers to offset the spending this summer on other players.
It's difficult sometimes, when you want something so badly, that you lose sight of the fact that the other party also want something so badly as well. I think the following article gives an interesting perspective from Liverpool's side, one that probably we don't always consider?

As the close of the transfer window gets nearer, there may well be movement on both sides. After all, there's a talented young footballer there in the middle of all this, who, it seems, is keen to come here.
