Outgoing? Brewster

[TJ blade]

Anyone else just nonplussed about him leaving?

In talks with Stoke.

 

[dingledog]

Couldn't care less if he goes. His contract is up, he has to do the best for himself that he can.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I think the biggest conundrum now for Brewster is that he's styled himself into an attacking jack of all trades, master of none.

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

Sad he's going but we'll always have Hillsborough. Really hope he can kick on now.

 

[jt64]

Him leaving frees up about 35k per week wages so that's a nice wedge to save.

That "nice wedge" wouldn't even cover three average Championship players.

 

[Maryland_blade]

Best move for all involved imo. He really bought into the blades and it wasn’t for a lack of effort why things didn’t work out for him. Hopefully a move will help to kick start his career again.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I'm sad, because I was a big defender of his.

Finally, we started to see flashes of a player... and he walks.

He's seen out his contract and I don't think any player owes a club anything beyond that.
But it'll feel pretty galling if he goes elsewhere and they realise all of the value after we've spent fortunes on his recovery.

FWIW, I think he'll go on to have a very good career but he has to be very careful about where he goes and their plan for him.

It’s always mentioned but what do we reckon, perhaps 18m? If he failed to trigger then would they actually make Berge out record signing?

A £3.5 million outstanding debt to another football club in respect of transfer fees not paid was referred to in the EFL judgement that deducted 2 points from SUFC. Its fair to presume this related to the Brewster add on.

 

[bertieblade]

It could have been 25% of his feet, meaning that we paid £14m plus bonuses for him

Whoever signs him needs to play him as a CF. Do that and he'll score 10-15 goals

The lad and his agent are deluded.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

The lad and his agent are deluded.

Do you have all of the context?
i.e - what we've offered, what others have offered, Selles' plan for him, etc.

If not, hard to justify that statement.

While before it covered one below average championship player!

Not a chance he scores 10 to 15 goals at Championship level.

Do you reckon?

I'm still not sure I've seen the CF in him.

He is an excellent footballer. He has great vision and execution with his progressive passes. He has a strike on him, but doesn't get into good enough areas to use it.

Unfortunately I think he's lost a yard of pace.

He just needs a load of games to work out his positional sense, as he doesn't impact games enough. He has ability with a ball at his feet, it's everything else he needs to work on. A strange player.
