Brewster

[bertieblade]

Yes, What would you do in his situation?

All these people slagging Brewster would have given all the money back to the club that he earned in his first contract and signed a new contract on greatly reduced terms. They would also have fed their family at the soup kitchens and walked into work

 

[Badger Blade]

Brewster cost a lot of money with his only meaningful contribution coming in the last couple of months of his contract.

If he'd been somewhere else for 5 years, cost a fortune, scored next to no goals, constantly injured and we were looking at signing him, we'd be saying that Selles was mad.

 

[Bell4]

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

No a bloody chance - the guys crap

Admit it pal, he's fckg useless

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

I’m a bit worried re Cannon. A pal of mine worked with John Cannon (Tom’s dad) and much to his dad’s frustration, Tom’s main passion is motorcross and views football as a job, bit like David Batty did

Sam McCallum is talking to him/behind him during one of the buffets. No sign of Brewster.

Just release him ffs

 

[Nick Jansky]

Just release him ffs

They have.

 

[BrisBlade]

Looking forward to the meltdown on here when he signs a new 5-year contract!

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

They might as well write a story saying the door is potentially open to every free agent in world agent. They are getting more desperate by the day since their club source has been cut off. Long may it continue.

 

[Varkanoid]

Thats so he doesnt trap his leg in it before he is sold and get injured again.

 

[robbiez666]

Apparently Boro are looking at him

I'm assuming Gibson has money troubles

 

[Silky Sabella]

Get rid, I want strikers that score.

He's going, Gone !
Another inept example of the previous manager !!!

 

[AWetFlannel]

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.

How do you know he's ungrateful? That we've paid him what we've been legally obligated to doesn't mean he's ungrateful.

 

[shorehamview]

Just release him ffs

They have.

Preferably into the wild, leaving him to fend for himself among the wolves, bears, tigers, dragons and the like.

I give him twenty minutes tops.

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"?

Obviously he’d was reluctant to sign ‘the biggest contract ever’.

As I understand it Ndiaye had been treated shabbily from his very first contract to that last attempt which the club struggled to put together and was also delayed due to Ndiaye playing in the world cup.

Two sides to every story.

I don't see how any of that is relevant, considering that Ndiaye verbally agreed to the deal.

He was able to get over any reservations he had, to the extent that the club was able to produce an announcement video for the extension of his contract. If he was that reluctant, he shouldn't have allowed things to get that far. It reflects very poorly on him.

It’s relevant in so much as we’re still talking about it now in reference to how the club has handled players/contracts.

P.S- How does ‘producing an announcement video’ before the player in question signed reflect on the club?

 

[utd4ever]

Wilder sure knew how to throw millions at crap strikers

I still believe every striker Wilder bought had no chance.
STRIKERS GRAVEYARD.

If he'd never agreed a deal in the first place, then it'd carry some weight. Considering that wasnt how things played out, then those apparent concerns become far less pertinent. If they were that significant, he'd have never discussed new terms to begin with.

I don't see an issue in the video being produced. There was an agreement in place. Similarly to the above, if we'd put something together without any mutual understanding already being in place, then yeah it's a bad look for the club. But considering the tension at the time around Ndiaye, and whether he was going to stay or not, I can't fault the club for wanting to move things along as quickly as they intended to.

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 always thought that summer was a totally misdirected recruitment policy.

We have an obsession in getting Ramsdale and only Ramsdale in. I suppose on one hand we made money but I think we could have got a decent loan.

Likewise I don’t think the money on Brewster was needed. We already has McGoldrick and we just needed to rotate who played alongside him.

To me the priority was another centre half to cover O’Connell’s injury and to replace Lundstram and move him on.

That would have been a far better usage of monies in my view.

Agree

I also didn’t think we needed a striker like Cannon at all, pace is what i would have liked to see.

Our inability to replace injured and past it centre halves seems to have been a recurring theme the last decade
