Never mind us keeping him, it could be a big loss if England don't as well.

 

[Plan B]

This might be a gormless question but.....didn't he play for England in that recent U20 summer tournament? I presume that players don't have to nail their colours to the mast until they reach the full squad??

 

[Barney]

Best part of the transfer window for me was keeping this lad.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Glad this game was tonight and not while the window was still open haha.

 

[Bladesman]

That is an extra 250k on the January transfer fee.

Eh? Our Brooks....the same Brooks that plays for England....lol

Brazil U21's next week then!

Best part for me was getting in Chief Donaldson, he's the new cult hero trust me.

 

[JohnDenver]

He hasn't even started a league game for us and folk are bemoaning his loss to England?

I really hope everyone's right about the fella.

I'm at the Switzerland - Wales U21 game and David Brooks runs the show. Outstanding performance so far.

Yeah, they can change allegiances until they've made an appearance for the mens' team.

Quality BBC reporting. Halifax will be claiming 10 percent of the sell on haha

 

[Ricky]

Go on Brooksy, draw plenty of attention to yourself! It doesn't matter now!

He's going to be worth a lot by January - far more than what we might have sold him for yesterday.

Brooks played very well, he played just off the striker in a 4411. His goal was a beautifully taken chip from close range and he was good
throughout with his direct dribbling. He's brilliant at getting to the byline and cutting back. Pretty sure I heard Rob Page say "give it Brooksy" a couple times aswell, says it all really. When he gets the ball something is likely to happen.

 

[Smirth]

Looking forward to him breaking into our starting 11 soon.

 

[DifferentClass]

England will be wanting him back soon!

'Give it Brooksy' - a bit like 'Give it Giggsy'.

I hope so.

Fair point well made.

 

[FTPE]

Fair point well made.

It made even more sense since I thought it had finished 1-0
You get the idea though.

 

[FriethBlade]

Great goal, gonna be interesting to see how much Wilder plays him. If I was him I'd stick to Wales, he could be in their full squad in 12 months time.

Where's the goal mate? I can't find it anywhere

What a div. Cheers.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Bet you Wales will call him up to their main squad soon so England can't nab him in the future.

David Brooks the new Gareth Bale!!!!!
