Brewster

Brewster is 100% a Wilder signing.

He wanted him, and the Chairman backed him.

The Brewster signing has been a disaster from start to finish. I've never doubted his commitment, but I do question his ability.

Difficult summer for the club on whether to stick or twist. What Brewster does and his expectations from Utd, will say a lot about him too.

Wonder what Wilder is thinking ? £18m plus wages up the spout

Thank god he wasn't the WBA player that missed a open net when it looked easier to score in the first half .After seeing some of the stick he's received today

Yep, lot easier chance than Brewdogs but when you have an agenda, it matters little.

Guardiola has brought in players worth £50 million and they've been useless.

He's (Guardiola) brought in players for twice that that many here think are useless, but that is more down to many on here thinking that being the most fouled player in the league is just diving all the time
 
That brewster chance was awkward, far more annoyed at striker who played the majority of the game, didn’t shoot at the right times, run channels effectively or play a 5 yard pass for someone to put it in the net after he does well at holding it up.

Brewster has never had a proper run in the team, due to injuries, he was an expensive signing which is frustrating but he didn’t dictate that, secondly it isn’t anyone’s money on here and lastly in a slightly paradoxical way the fact he’s not contributed or made many appearances dictates he can not be a reason for shit results.

Surely it's the easiest decision on the world? Offering him a new contract would be the second most stupid thing the club have done.

Moore is getting a fairly easy ride after today's performance.
 
I think when he leaves it will be for the best for both prties..

Nothing is Brewsters fault, its a symptom of the premier league that sometimes youll buy a player for big money who belly flops, he's not realised his potential and that's true, but the finances which are seemingly upsetting most on here are also, not his fault..

Glttl - I'm certain when the weight lifts off him after he leaves that he will be a good signing for somebody..

You want us to spend some of our January budget on paying up his contract?
I’d rather us spend our money on improvements rather than wasting more of it .

We’re at the point with injuries where we may as well keep paying him over the remainder of the season and having him available to at least sub. I don’t understand the “pay him up” comments because we get no benefit from it unless he accepts less than what he’s owed, if I were him I’d use the Jon Parkin approach and say “no dough, no go”!

Maybe, but Man City isn't Guardiola's boyhood club. It was (and is) a lot of money for Utd, and it's been a disaster.

I rate Wilder, but I'd never give him serious money to spend, he's like a kid in a sweetshop. Lots of his bargain bin players, and freebies have paid off, but of his marque signings, I can't think of one we've made significant money (or any money) on.

That said, it's football, and sometimes you win on the swings and lose on the roundabouts. David McGoldrick being the prime example of this.

I'm genuinely not sure.

If he can show something before the seasons end, then I'd offer him a new contract.

If he carries on the way he is, release him. He'll find his level, which at the moment is about Shrewsbury Town.

Guardiola also did it at Barca, his boyhood club.

Is Wilder's success rate on big money signings worse than equivalent managers?

True. And although the bloke's been desperately unlucky (and the fee doesn't come into that) and I wish him every luck, after such a long while I think anyone is entitled really to conclude that he's not very good.

But aye, life is better with a smile on your face so please allow me to thank Rhian for the sheer number of times he's made me laugh out loud, including twice today, good lad.

The main issue with Brewster is the fee we paid.

If we'd signed him on a free from Rochdale he'd never get a game and there wouldn't be all this bile aimed at him because nobody would care much.

Not for me. It's the amount of opportunities he's getting and at no point during the 4 years and 80 plus appearances has he looked near the standard required. Wilder seems desperate to see Brewster come good and even tried to shoehorn him into the team as a second striker or left winger where he looks even worse. Must be frustrating for Brooks, McCullan, Hamer, Marsh etc who are sacrificed to give him another chance. His wild shot today, summed up the situation with him. Nobody had a pop atm him for not only awful attempt, but an awful decision as its just pointless now.

But he is getting a game and despite all the evidence that he wasn’t up to it before he was injured and the evidence that he’s not up to it since his injuries, he’s still getting a game. Are you conceding that he’s a Rochdale standard player but is being played because of the fee that was paid for him?
 
This is my opinion based on what I have seen with my own eyes.

This season there has been an improvement in parts of his game such as looking for the ball and tackling but that improvement is only moved him up to below average from hopeless.

There is a lack of football intelligence regarding reading the game, making runs and positioning. Shooting Technique is hopeless. Today's efforts were embarrassing even for him. I have played and have coached though not at a high level. Even so I would have gotten that shot within 10 yards of the goal.

Brewster is getting chances to play due to having a limited squad and lots of injuries.
He was bought for his potential but we all know that some players that are effective at underage but never develop enough to cope at adult level. Brewster falls into this category for me. Similar to Ollie Burke.

The formation of 4231 leaves us with only 1 out and out strikers position which limits game time for the likes of One to develop.
Arblaster and Peck have shown they are developing and capable at this level. Brewster's trajectory is not going to get better.

The money is for all intents and purposes already spent. Just some people would prefer to make the squad smaller for no reason whatsoever when we have a trillion injuries. Even the most ardent Brewster haters would rather is be able to bring him on at 3-0 up/down to eat minutes, surely?

He plays to help the team get results. He doesn't get picked over Campbell or Moore, proper strikers at this level. He doesn't get picked over Rak-Sayki, Hamer or O'Hare.

He gets picked occasionally over unproven kids that should be on loan in league 2. Given he's actually scored goals at this level (like the winner against Millwall this month), does that not make sense? Or should we assume Wilder has an agenda which is harmful to the club?

Tom Fellows. He right royally fukd it up.
S24SU webserver would be in meltdown if it were Brewster who missed that 😆.
 
Wilder's agenda is that he wants to give him every chance to prove he was right in making Brewster the most expensive signing (fee and wages) in our history. I get it, but it could cost us promotion if Wilder persists with him. Just accept he's not good enough and see if he make a career somewhere else.

Are you referring to unproven kids who have contributed more or the same as him in less games like Brooks and One?
 
Signed to do a job in the Premier League, can’t even do a job in the Championship.

When will Wilder wake up and realise the guy simply isn’t good enough.

It's be rinse and repeat, at far too great an expense. Far too injury prone, and just not good enough at this level.
 

While everyone’s banging on about Brewster’s miss, did everyone also see Brownhill missing an even easier chance for Burnley?
It appears missing open goals is not uncommon.
