Brewster

[Nick Jansky]

The fees largely irrelevant. He’s shit and his attitude is shocking. He needs telling what we think of his performances. If we had kept playing Gbric and he kept letting shots in he would be getting dogs abuse. I bet there wouldn’t be fans on here saying he’s trying his best

The main criticism needs to be directed at whoever had a tantrum until they were allowed to commit so much of the club’s money on signing & paying him. But that’s the logical position, so I get that you might struggle to see it.

 

[ekke287]

If you can't see what Moore and Hamer offer the team in comparison to Brewster you should watch another sport pal

Brewster is very consistent, consistently shocking. Time to give the youth team lads a run rather than waste anymore time on him

I think you’ve missed the point of my post, being fans expectations of Brewster being tainted by both his reputation and fee.

My point being that despite playing g poorly yesterday, Hamer and Moore have more of a free ride, not comparing what all three players did offer.

The analysis isn't solely based on yesterday. It's based on his time with us. Hamer was hopeless yesterday as was Moore. Moore gets some stick at matches and on here but his two well taken goals recently has given him some credit.

Hamer has been inconsistent but has contributed goals and assists so he has plenty of credit in the bank.

Brewster is overdrawn considerably. Sometimes of the bench he looks to have improved but the next game it's back to poor performances.

His football intelligence isn't there. Where to position himself and what runs to make are below standard. His work rate is questionable as sometimes he goes missing and stops running. This pattern has been there on day 1. His first game for us he was lost.

The only place that the finger can reasonably be pointed is at whoever signed him to the contract he’s on & continues to support him. With perhaps a bit towards whoever sanctioned the outlay in fee & wages, but it sounds as if a lesson was learned there.

 

[Ginger Gnome]

I'd give him a start up front against Sunderland, not exactly on merit but because Moore was out for a while and has been poor in the last couple too, so he could probably do with benching, so let Brewster have a start in his proper position with an otherwise unchanged team behind him, I'm expecting somethng Clayton-Donaldson-esque from him.

Wilder Bettis Prince Abdullah Mitchell all bear the lions share of blame. But it isn't the only place. The player bears some responsibility too. Yes he has had his injuries. But over the length of time he has been with us his development as a player has been very limited. Which leads to the conclusion he is either not listening and understanding what he is being told. Or he is incapable of actually being coached.

Basic analysis of Brewster while at Liverpool and at Swansea was not done correctly by us. The scouting problems only have been largely been resolved this season. Any of Burrows Cooper Gilchrist Rak Sayki Souttar Shackleton Campbell Moore McCallum can't be considered poor business. Moore and Campbell have weaknesses but not at write off level. Burrows and Cooper being stand out signings for me.

Either way it is all moot. Brewster is at the club and will be until the end of his contract.
In many ways he is another Oliver Burke.

How is his attitude shocking? You don't get yourself match fit after the injuries he's had with a shocking attitude. In addition, Wilder wouldn't have him in the squad if his attitude was poor.

He hasn't scored the goals we bought him for. It hasn't worked out. But some of the vitriol on here is 100% agenda driven.

Moore didn't even connect with the ball when 6 yards out in the first 10 mins, and his lack of pace and movement has turned 3 through balls into crap passes in the last 2 games but doesn't get anything like the hate Brewster does.

 

[Dark muffy]

To get Hamer playing centrally

Yes I understand that just thought peck was having a decent game and provides energy and drive in midfield, id have took Davies off who I thought was poor and potentially an injury risk.

 

[alcoblade]

The fee is not his fault. Not many slating the player repeatedly point the finger at the man who chased him and got the funds for the signing. But managers make errors just as players don’t make it, or even look like making it. That’s football.

None of it is his fault, and I've never suggested otherwise.

I've treble checked mine, and I didn't say you said I had either. But you chose to quote me to make that point (when there's clearly plenty of better homes for it), so I chose to clarify my position.

For me, RB's price tag actually has worked in his favour. Would the club still be persisting with giving him opportunities if he was an academy player?
A player coming back from a long lay off should be at the peak of his fitness, fully motivated, brimming with confidence and raring to grasp the opportunity of getting back as a regular in the team. I'm sorry but I don't see this in his appearances so far this season. Yes he does appear to be a nice guy. But so is my postman, and I wouldn't want him playing as a striker for the Blades.
Brewster is playing for his future career in football. But his performances so far, come across as being a bit rusty and lack-lustre.

You’ve said the player bears some of the responsibility and then gone on to demonstrate exactly why it’s wholly on the club. Where was the due diligence?

But taking the thread as a whole I do get that angry cretins (not you) feel the need to lash out at a player for things that are outside of his control.

He’s basically here because Wilder stamped his feet until he got him and that piece of business, combined with the massive loss of budgeted for TV money as a result of Covid, set us back years & directly resulted in last season.

This is exactly it, he's getting game time when he wouldn't be if it was solely down to his ability because of his price tag and wages. If he'd came through the youth team he'd have been released 3 years ago.

Why Bettis?

 

[Nagima]

Why Bettis?

As the CEO he would have some role in signing off on the deal. Unless he wasn't in position at the time of the transfer.

 

[Sean Thornton]

As the CEO he would have some role in signing off on the deal. Unless he wasn't in position at the time of the transfer.

I doubt he was involved in the scouting. Signing off a deal effectively arranged and agreed by others hardly opens him up to a share of any blame.

 

[Bladesince59]

He's no use to us. Can he just go?

 

[Nagima]

I doubt he was involved in the scouting. Signing off a deal effectively arranged and agreed by others hardly opens him up to a share of any blame.

I never said he was involved in the scouting. As CEO he would be involved in the financials of the deal and signing off on the terms. Paying £23M for a teenage striker should have had a significant review involving all parties involved from a blades perspective. It may have happened or it may not. Either way our transfer dealings with McBurnie Brewster, Burke Freeman Mousset Ravel Morrison and Jack Rodwell from that time were serious miscalculation in terms of value.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Can blame Wilder all we want for spending what he did to bring Rhian in. I don't remember a single Sheffield United fan in 2020 that wasn't buzzing to break our transfer record and bring in one of the hottest striking prospects in the country

And the two point deduction dont forget.

no luck this great lad special brew will come good youll see.hes waiting to explode with blades goals he will be on fire soon i just can see him scoring for fun in front of the KOP and it will be a joy to watch him be a top SUFC bagsman like he was for swansea city years ago i back him to lead us to top spot.,chow...

Crazy. Be like starting with 10 men.

I didn’t say you had, Christ can’t anyone on here understand context?
If his input was just to sign it off where’s the blame? Wilder wanted RB and the others, PA must surely have okayed the deals and didn’t we have Carl Schieber involved on the football side. SB may have overseen the paperwork but the selection of those players wouldn’t be anything to do with Snek. He’s a finance/admin guy, not a director of football.

I’ve pointed out Wilders obvious involvement in bringing him in. If blame is being apportioned then none of the fee or the contract is the fault of the player. I’ve also said on a couple of occasions that all managers make mistakes so it’s not a case of piling in on Wilder, as you say, looked to be an exciting signing, but to try and get some people finding a grip on the reality of the situation as to blame.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

It’s just not going to happen for him at united, and frankly I’d rather be giving One or Marsh a go.

I can’t fault Brewster’s enthusiasm and contra to whichever twat earlier in the thread said, he clearly does give a shit.

He needs to go down a level, I suspect that level will be in a different country though that pays better. Could well see him signing for a Turkish super lig, or Saudi club.

 

[Toronto Blade]

I don't think pro athletes care too much what the fans say they just giggle and look at that bank account then have a good laugh.

Hamer looks pissed-off , to me - maybe wishes he was at Leeds.
Is he getting all these daft bookings as a kind of emotional protest , or just to sit out a couple of games ?
Maybe he's off in January ?

He's been stuck out on the LW on his weaker foot , maybe sick of that
(I know I am).

He is not contributing anywhere near his potential at a time when we desperately need him to impose himself on games.

Have a close look at him on NYD at Mackems - it'll probably be his last game before he's banned.

We need a MF through the door on 2nd January.
