Brooksy

[1973Blade]

Most shockingly, not only did Bournemouth nick our most promising player, their fans nicked our Billy Sharp chant to use for Brooks! (Na, na, na, na, na, We've got David Brooks, David Brooks, we've got David Brooks - repeat to fade).

 

[Cerberus Blade]

The games i've seen him play on the TV he's looked quite lost for large amounts of the games.

I noticed that too. In one game he was wandering around the stands, next to the little shed where they sell the pies. I saw him asking the steward where the pitch was, and the steward was pointing it out to him. Apart from that one incident though, I'd say he's been an outstanding player for Bournemouth and one of the bargain buys in the club's entire history, wouldn't you?

We have been losing 8 million a year every year which is funded by the directors
They have now fallen out which is a major problem for funding and cash flow
I guess most of the Brooks money will be used to cover monthly losses, cash flow and a few loan deals to the end of the season

That was included in the deal actually, with this season being the transition stage where both teams use it. Next season Bournemouth have the outright rights to it, while we have to switch to the Baby Shark tune.

Sean, you know the accounts better than most on here. Are you saying that we had to sell to survive? If so is Wilder saying the Brooks money is untouched is a little fanciful on his part?

I really don’t know what CW was thinking when he said that.

“Hi, I’m phoning for some financial advice, My outgoings are more than my income but if I sell the 9/11 Turbo and buy a 3 series BMW l’ll be okay. What should I do?”

“Borrow more money”

“Err....... I’ll get back yo you”

Damn right! Max out every line of credit we've got, pawn the stuff in the museum to cash-converters, pick up any dropped loose change in the car park, dust off the glyn hodges collection buckets and let's go balls out, screaming and shouting into this transfer window and really go for it. We've being going for nearly 130 years and to be honest the last 50 year have been a bit dull. Time to give the ball a kick.

The only football club owners for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centrelight pop and everybody goes “Awww!” So c'mon Kevin, put down your pint of export strength horlicks, loosen your sock garters, put your relationship manager at coutts on notice, and let's get a youngster in on loan from everton (and possibly a 30+ premier striker who's seen better days). Let's risk them ringing the f*cking lutine bell twice, more coal in the furnaces lads, HMS Promotion, full steam ahead!

 

[Fulwood Blade]

CASHFLOW AND LOSSES. Owners who aren't rich enough. There you have it.

Well done for continuing to bang the drum of reality.

We have a sell on clause though when Brooks leaves for one of the big six or a top European side.

 

[Captain]

Brooks is a real talent, we will always to sell our greatest assets just to compete.
When you look at the likes of Villa, WBA , Leeds, their squads are full of quality they have game changers on the bench!
Under CW in my opinion we have over achieved.
If and it’s a big if we are still in the top 6 at the end of 2018 that’s a great achievement and one I think most Blades will be proud of!
YO-HO-HOooooooo

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

Everyone he's played in thats been live on tv

Looked pretty good when they played Liverpool the over day .

Put it this way whenever he gets on the ball he stands out and looks pure quality in a premier league team.

Can definitely see him going to an Everton : Spurs for 40/50 million

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

More proof, if it was needed, that we 'gave him away' !

Re What We Need in January

I thought Mepham was very classy in the Brentford game. Looked like one of those players playing the game at a different level from everyone around him.

 

[mancunianblade]

McInally just claimed Brooks will be a top 6 player within 3 seasons, we know that of course lets just hope we are talking silly money and the sell on is ridiculous

 

[Berkshire Blade]

So a £ 20 million valuation for David Brooks who scored 3 goal, so on your valuation Leon Clarke must be/have been worth £ 40 million with his 18 goals.

Yes. Some players you can tell will come good. Remember Wilder wanted him to stay 'another year' as by that time his true value would become clearer. He was obviously a special talent.
