Outgoing? Brewster

[robbiez666]

Nice to see that someone has the same opinion that I do.

Any comment that features the phrase "I asked ChatGPT..." or some variant of that - I immediately am no longer interested.

It feels like "I'm incapable of forming my own opinion on this topic, so I got one from a glorified search engine".

I don't mind it being used if it forms part of someone's reasoning but people are using it instead of having an opinion. It's a great assistance tool but using it instead of actually forming thoughts yourself is ridiculous.

£1.2m would be something like a £12m signing these days. For a club like ours, it was a huge fee.

You quote the exact thing. It may have been large in the context of Sheffield United, but in the context of football, it was not. We have never paid big transfer fees or wages for anyone.

Thriving ?

Thriving!! Could do with a good pre season behind him.

He’s doing significantly better in this position than as a striker.

Only the Don Hutchison signing was a bigger fee at the time so it was a big signing.

In terms of other clubs, my recollection was that no Championship clubs were spending much over £1m, maybe £2m maximum at the time. But happy to be proven wrong

Again, you are looking in the context of what Sheffield United have done, and not at the general price of players at the time. Birmingham spent 800k on a striker two and a half years before we signed Ebbrell. It wasn't a window then, but at around the same time Bolton spent three times what we spent on Ebbrell on an aging Dean Holdsworth. Ebbrell was an established player who had over 200 appearances for a Premier League club. Do you think we should have got him for 300k?

He is neither.

 

[ekke287]

He is neither.

In your opinion. In mine he’s had good games this last season in comparison to previous.

Such is the beauty of public opinion forums.

 

[Gin&Juice]

This wasn’t the issue they had found on his medical that led to a massive argument one away day dinner. Kendall desperately wanted him. The physio team didn’t.

100% he got a slice of that pie. Old friends init.

It is about opinions. It’s mind boggling how our supporters settle for mediocrity. A huge letdown in his time here.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Does it have to be Wilf? Why not me?

If you're not called Wilf, then it can't be you. It's the rules.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Has Brewster ever been MOTM in any of the games he's played for us?

Yes

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Yes

Fair enough, when was that then, as I can't recall any. Did he get MOTM for his goal at Hillsborough?

Not much point answering that

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Not much point answering that

Why not?

It was a genuine question, I can't remember him getting MOTM in any of the games he's played, in the 4 seasons he's been here.

You said he has, so I've asked you to name the game, now you're not answering.

Odd

It was a really loaded spiteful question
But you instantly assumed it was for the Wednesday match where all he did was tap it in

Keep up the good work

I guess you spotted the flaw in my argument.

 

[Lucky1979]

Thought he was off to the SPL.

And these ignorant AI comments that literally drench every thread about us on every social media platform are boring as fuck.

Yep, all the AI is doing is applying filters and generating lists based on stats from criteria we have identified as desirable traits for a player to have. Just what a person would do, but quicker. And picks up players in markets we’ve not sent a person to and then the actual scouts and analysts look at the data.

People seem to think Metal Mickey rolls in to Bettis’ office beeping and flashing and then prints out a photo of a player.

Boogie boogie

I know he cost a lot of money, I know he's been blighted with injuries, it's not his fault, but he gave us this, an iconic goal and picture in their rusty shithole, something to send the deluded knobheads and remind them "he put the goal in the Wednesday net".

I love Bramall Lane when it's rocking and hostile, but wish we would direct at the opposition rather than our own!

 

[Tony Currie]

Contract out very soon be surprised if he stays without the protection of Wilder

Brewster has really come on this year and put in some good performances - he has ability. He should be offered a new 1 year contract (with possible extension)- at a vastly reduced rate of course!

Time for him to move on

He had but hasn’t signed it so I’d take that offer away.

It wasnt a spiteful question, it was a real question. Which you claimed to know the answer for, which you didn't.

I had to try to try to answer my own question, the Wednesday match was a guess.

There's a poster on here called Knows Nowt - presume you're related???

 

[WiseBlade]

Has Brewster ever been MOTM in any of the games he's played for us?

The game against Millwall in December.

 

[WiseBlade]

I believe he scored the winning goal then. Brewster has had unlucky injuries and although I think personally he should show a bit of gratitude for us standing by him despite the injuries. A footballers career span is short so if he wanted to leave let him...we'll always have hillsborough...just don't score past us...which is dead on cert

Thanks for answering the question - I appreciate it.

Aye
The only flaw in that approach is when a player feels that there may be better opportunities elsewhere than those you are advocating. 1 year with a ‘ possible’ additional year with a “vastly” reduced income doesn’t (currently) sound especially appealing.
A club prepared to offer 2 years (or more) or / & a tad more than the reduced salary will be of more interest to him
Even a longer contract on the same (.(or slightly less) money would likely be more appealing
Currently he’s not over enamoured with what’s on offer (whatever it is) & (sensibly) seeing if anything better emerges
Following Wilders departure he may be in a more precarious position if Selles doesn’t rate / want him, & risks the (.unknown to us) offer being withdrawn
I believe it’s called salary negotiation
