Brewster

[Danetheblade]

Deluded people who can’t change an opinion or form a balanced opinion on Brewster without saying 20 MILLIIIYUNNNN


I though Brewster was pretty good last season played miles out of position I think if we keep him we may finally see him a player


Brewster would definitely better than what we currently have

Mental take.

 

[JD88]

If we sign a striker this summer with 8 goals in his last 5 years, be pretty confident to say the reaction wouldn't be great. The correct decision for him to leave and it should never have been a debate.

 

[WayneAllison]

Mental take.

Brewster is better than cacares , ukaki , one

He is on a level with brooks / cannon

"Played our of position" ? Problem is nobody knows what his position is and he never did enough to tie one down. Is he a 9? Is he a 10? Is he a wide player? Nobody knows and that a sad indictment of his time with us.

And if he's better than what we have who's he replacing? Campbell? Ohare? Hamer? Brooks? Cannon (dont say yes as hes not going anywhere) Barry?

Anyone we sign in an attacking role now has to be first 11 as there are other areas of the team that need strengthening much more desperately. Save tje wage for a CB, RB and CDM

So he’s not better than anyone else we’ve got in that position then?

He’s nowhere near Brooks either. Unlike Brewster, Brooks can actually score, pass, link play.

 

[WayneAllison]

So basically you want him back ,because no fucker wants him! That's ambition for you...ffs!

I think what you mean is every team in the championship would offer him a contract

And brewster is holding back to see what the best offer is us likely been one of them

You are severely deluded

His position is Striker or inside forward off the left cutting in and shooting

How many games has he started as a striker in 5 years ? 10 ? 15 ?

He certaily hasnt had a run of games starting in his favoured position when fully fit

Hes nowhere near brooks ?

Which is why wilder played him in brooks position for the majority of the end of last season including the play off final

Brewster and Brooks both scored 4 goals last season

 

[KiwiBlade]

I’m no wilder fan but if you reckon he’d start Brewster in the POF because of that your deluded

You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to mine. Wilder was stubborn about buying Brewster over loaning him in the first place, and he continued to play him up front when he looked poor and lacked awareness and any positional sense. When he signed Canon, he could have dropped Brewster, but instead put him in a midfield role, why do you think that is?

Besides he’s a significant risk for any club that signs him, he’s missed 157 games through injury in the last 7 seasons. If he didn’t previously play for us, we’d give him a wide berth and would be upset that we’re signing a goal drought crock.

Yeah, because he looked awful when he played there and looked like he’d won a competition to be there

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Is Brewster going to be one of them ex players that gets better everyday because he's not here?

I'm stunned he's spoke that much as if he's a massive loss to the team.

 

[steve26272]

And brewster is holding back to see what the best offer is us likely been one of them

You are severely deluded

I suppose every team could offer him £5k per week + bonuses?

The fact a month later he hasnt signed one suggests they arent attractive enough

He'll be waiting for something near his £40k, reckon his best offer, possibly us, it at least half that.

since they both signed in 2020, Brewster has outscored the much maligned JLT by 1 goal (RB 8, JR 7) , yes, £20m then £40k a week gets you 1 goal more than Jack Fuckin Robinson over 5 years

Wilder played him in Brooks position to try and save face about wasting the money we did on him. Nothing more, nothing less.

That’s largely because he’s never been fully fit.

One of the excuses of the Brewster fan boys is that he’s never had a run of games up front, that just proves how little he’s been available over the length of his contract.

You are proving my point

For 4 years we had a player who was either injured or coming back from an imjury

Brewster is now fully fit and looks stronger/faster than at any other point in those 5 years

If we could get him on a decent wage then its a no brainer and it sounds like that probably what we have offered

Do you really believe that ?

Brewster will have multiple offers and is likely waiting to see where the chips fall

I hope he comes back but if he doesnt good luck to him

How long will he be ‘fully fit’ for though? Evidence suggests he’ll have a couple of half decent games and then get injured again.

Rhian Brewster had a much improved 24/25 season compared to his previous 4, he played a significant part in our squad last season, the winner at Wednesday being the obvious highlight.

Anyone who was at Stoke away on the Friday night towards the end of last season will have seen what he was bringing to the table - he played out of his skin and worked his knackers off that night, relentless work rate.

The sticking point for many has been the long periods of inactivity in the 4 seasons prior, and that's completely understandable given his fee and expectations that came with it.

Looks increasingly likely that he won't be returning, and if that does indeed become the case then we quickly move on, it's part of the game that players come and go.

If by some unlikely turn of events he ends up staying and signing a new contract, then I'd fully expect to see more of the same from last season, and I think he'd do well under a manager like Selles.

It's a no lose situation really, whatever the outcome.

 

[robbiez666]

He should go to the MLS. His body isn't made for English football.

 

[Jan Age]

Brewster in significantly reduced terms as a squad player is perfectly fine

 

[TJ blade]

He

Do you really believe that ?

Hes taking the piss pal, deep down he knows he's shit, but if it winds some of us up who cares

 

[Nick Jansky]

He's fucking shit pal, admit

You’re both wrong.

 

[I should coco]

I'm so sick of people making out that McBurnie scoring in the Premier League was so significant. He scored 6 goals in 36 games, which meant we had to get goals from someone else in 30 of those matches. 6 goals is not something to celebrate

And I'm sick of people pretending McB made no contribution at all.

Yes, it was just 6 goals, but we only scored 39, so that's nearly a sixth of our total haul.

He played a significant part. Get over it.

[Bell4]

I think that’s the word, ‘decent’. He’s been adequate and at least he was available for once.

I know the fee was nothing to do with him but he hasn’t been decent for a 20m+ man.

If we’d paid 3-5m for him then his contribution could have been termed adequate.

He’s never fulfilled his billing and I don’t see how others can suggest he’d be an asset. He doesn’t score enough, he doesn’t anticipate enough. He works hard which should be a pre-requisite and his passing isn’t bad but there aren’t many systems that accommodate a striker that can pass but not score, a winger than can pass, doesn’t beat a man, doesn’t cross prolifically and doesn’t score or a midfielder that can pass but can’t tackle that well, doesn’t score and doesn’t cross.

He just simply does not have enough output for any role he would play.

It was overly sentimental playing him against Sunderland by Wilder, hoping for one last “I told you so” rather than playing Brooks or preferably Rak-Sakyi from the start.

Remember Rak-Sakyi scored 7 goals in 1,812 minutes plus 2 assists.

It took Brewster 5,188 minutes to notch 9 and 4 assists.

Just to add, the frustrating thing with Chris was that he could get the big things right but then be stubborn on the little things that were under his control.

Reconstruction of the squad was a major job, and getting in Burrows and Cooper etc in was excellent work. Souttar was also a master stroke. But then once he had the players in, not playing Holding instead of Robinson and not using a Rak-Sakyi to take the game to Sunderland instead of playing it more safe with Brewster were glaring errors that were avoidable.

Great post

He is rubbish / In any position you want to play him . In 53 years of attending BDTBL he is one of the worst players we have had . Imo

 

[Pintor75]

He should have ripped up the Championship for £23m when we signed him, Wilder tried to justify him spending that much by giving him chance after chance , but always injured, then when his contract was running down he became fully fit again in the last six months. If we resign him & (hopefully not) Selles gets ousted and Wilder comes back, I'm finished with my season ticket After next season
