Brewster

[Chilttheblade]

I think there has been enough slagging him off . He is a poor footballer at best but I did post a while ago that given where he is ,there should be a concern about his mental health.
Also he did not insist someone pay £24,000,000 for his services or pay him Premiership wages.
I have gone past the point of expecting anything from him but the main characters who have destroyed this amount of value for the club are still there and are trusted to continue signing and managing in the club.
In my opinion the fault lies there

A concern about his mental health!!! Give it a rest mate. Because hes had some injuries whilst earning 2m a year , yes must be a fucking really tough life. He didn't pick his fee no and I do agree the people who fucked up are the ones who brought him in who as you say are still there. He's dreadful and that's that, he's a multi millionaire from being atrocious at his job, that's all there is too it.

You clearly don't understand mental health. Earning more doesn't clear it up.

He's one player I wouldn't miss on deadline day.

Explain exactly why he will have mental health problems? Jesus christ

Watching him toil is bad for mine

And that's his fault? He signed here with a decent pedigree having scored goals for Liverpools U23s, England youth setups & Swansea. He was hot property and we were all buzzing when he signed. It's not worked out for him.

Also what the hell does earning money have to do with it? He's earned good money all his career, I doubt he even cares about money he'll just want to play football & score goals.

Why anyone would get this wound up about a person is beyond me. You're probably one of the fans who booed Souza, gave ironic cheers to Grbic & chants if Brewster scores we're on the pitch.

He probably does want to play football and score goals but 1. He's not very good at football and 2. He can't score goals so lets be reyt, hes fucked on that front. I've never booed souza, never given grbic an ironic cheer( had a rant towards him away at Liverpool though), and nope I wasn't chanting that shite song the other night either, I'm not wound up about him I'm just stating exactly how his career has been with us and know I don't feel sorry for him one bit like some seem too. Plenty of other people in life have more issues than that lad believe me.

I'm not going down the mental health route. I'm just going down the route of he seems like a likeable character at the club. We all want it to work for him, I'm sure you do too. I don't see it happening now, I don't think he's 'atrocious', I just don't think he can get a break. If he bags the one-on-one vs Wrexham, scores his pen & scores vs Barnsley instead of hitting the post then we'd all be optimistic again.

He's still only 24, but time is running out for him. Some of his hold-up play vs Wolves, Wrexham & Barnsley (first half) was pretty decent. Hopefully, he can build on that because it doesn't look like Cannon is coming in & I can't see us linked with any other strikers.

 

[kingy1889]

He is wank. I will never boo him, but for god's sake, let's find a way to offload him.

If I played the violin I would be getting out right now for the poor lad

 

[Sheffsteel]

If we could get anyone to take over his contract I’d fucking jump at it.

He has absolutely no impact on games.

Don’t think you realise the situation.

He’s one of our best paid players, think it’s near £40K. Being realistic no one will even pay half his wage.

Regards a loan well still be paying most of his contract, might be able to persuade a club to pay £10K.

Also paying off his contract would be madness. Would cost us loads and we don’t even get a player. Better to keep him than have nothing.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Whatever we think of Rhian as a player some seem to be holding it against him somehow for costing us £20m+ and for his wage. That’s definitely not his fault.

 

[Sheffsteel]

So do you admit that probably 90% of Blades are clueless when it comes to transfers and need to apologise?

One day I’m going to copy some of the posts from so many Blades who insisted we must meet Liverpool’s 25 million asking price otherwise we’d lose out to one of the hottest English talents in football.

I remember several posts from Blades saying “pay him whatever he wants”.

Also remember posts from the usual bedwetters insisting there’s zero chance we’ll sign Brewster because we lack ambition. Someone said 25 million would be a bargain because a few later he’d be leading the line with Kane playing for England and be worth 70 million.

All I can say is it’s a good job fans aren’t running a club. All decisions would be based on emotion and our debts would quickly spiral out of control.

Agree with this. Could even try him in a different position because he certainly doesn't look or behave like a striker.

It seems as though he is liked at the club, might be a nice chap, I'm purely on about football, of course me and all the rest of us wanted it to work, probably more so because if the money invested in him but how long do you say it's not getting a break or is the reason he didn't score any of those chances is purely because he really isn't very good, he's had the odd good half here and there in 4 years but who doesn't, the shit players still have the odd over performing game every now and then. Nothing personal to the lad but he isn't very good and has been an enormous waste of money overall. He will know that himself too unfortunately for him.

Agree it’s not but he is well on course to becoming the worse signing in our history.

That’s some achievement.

Still think my prediction might come right, it would be so typical Sheffield United.

My prediction is he’ll be crap up to Xmas but then after Xmas in the final 4 months of his contact he’ll suddenly find his scoring boots, scoring for fun setting the league on fire and by the end of the season Blades on here will be saying “we must keep him”, “pay him whatever he wants”, “give him a long contract” etc etc. There’ll probably be rumours that he’s joining Sheff Wed on a free and Blades on here will be in meltdown saying he’s finally over his injury, found his form and is now worth 20 million so we must offer him a new big contract.

Yes I do agree that 90% are clueless, probably more than that of us, hence why we aren't running football clubs and aren't managers/coaches/scouts, it's like saying do you think 90% of us are clueless about bloody being an electrician.

I do understand the situation fully. Which is why i said I’d jump at it

Mental Health issues aren't exclusively for the poor you know.

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

I don't think Brewster is a bad player i think if he is confident and playing every week there is a very good striker in there

However he has zero confidence zero none nada I feel for the Boy, it's not even as if he doesn't have the technique Mcgoldrick said he was one of the best finishers he has ever seen but he just can't hit a cows arse with a banjo


I would play him on the left left cutting in and shotting but it appears wilder has lost faith after not bringing him on at Norwich

 

[Blademan18891889]

Well come on explain why he might have mental health issues, fucking hells fire. Never heard owt so fucking ridiculous, he's not very good at football so we should be concerned he's got mental health problems. What a world this has turned into.

 

[Lincoln_Blades1889]

He's a lovely lad ... That's his strength, he just needs to ignore all the haters and carry on being lovely

And don't forget, there's a player in there somewhere

Mental health is extremely complex, I cannot explain why anyone in particular may or may not have mental health issues but it has no boundaries, anyone can suffer. Just look at Graham Thorpe, on the outside a happy family man, successful cricketer, financially sound yet he threw himself in front of a train.

Brewster on the outside appears to be this happy, chipper, cheerleader lad, popular in the dressing room with the financial lifestyle of a pro footballer.....but....he's not very good at his job and no matter how hard he tries he's not improving. Who knows what pressure that is putting on him behind the colgate smile? In addition, he would only have to log on here to read some really unpleasant comments which no matter how much dosh he has, (remember the saying, money doesn't always buy happiness) would be hard to take.

You are obviously ignorant to mental health issues and if you have never experienced it personally or witnessed someone you care for experiencing it then you are a very lucky person.

Every man and his dog nowadays has 'mental health' issues. It's become a bit of a crutch to lean on for some people. I know many people do genuinely suffer from it, but it's also become the go to excuse to shield people from valid criticism.

I'm not ignorant to it, I don't automatically think we should be concerned someone has mental health issues because he's shite at football. It's absolute load of bollox, shall we go back through all the shit players we've ever had and see if they have mental health problems, absolute nonsense it's even been suggested, he will have rinsed the club for the best part of 10m wages by time he leaves to go to the conference on top of a record transfer fee. He's gonna get people saying he's shit, like anyone would in any form of job. I don't see anybody abusing him personally or saying anything disrespectful about him. People are saying he's shit at football for the level and money he's earning, he absolutely is, end of.

 

[Blademan18891889]

I'll also add I think I'm the one suffering with mental health paying to go and watch him play. Madness

Without a doubt some will "play the mental health card" but it is not exclusive to mental illness. No different to that mate down the Pub who hasn't worked for years because of his dodgy back but in reality he's just a lazy bastard.

That's not the part people have reacted to. Your earlier post was on the lines of ' How / why can he have mental health issues when he's on £2m a year' . That's the bit that people are replying to.
