Offer in for Brooks...

[S5Blade]

Any idea of that's £20 million upfront? That would be very good business.

Very much doubt it. Think it's very rarely ever all in one go. Doesn't make that much difference tho as it's guaranteed income so we just put in place the same terms with other clubs if we reinvest

 

[Sean Thornton]

He just said sell on. I imagine pool would plan on keeping him for a long time so by the time they would sell him, might be worth 10 quid.

40% of sell on seems highly unlikely though. If they nurtured him and sold him for £100m say, United end up with more than them in total after they've paid his big wages.

It would seem more realistic if that's 40% sell-on of profit.

You think a 40% of profit clause is realistic when they're paying £20m for a kid with a few championship games under his belt? I know transfer fees are going daft but that really would be a deal we couldn't refuse. I'd be shocked if we did a deal that good, or if Liverpool did a deal that bad. But I suppose if they really rate him and others do too...

 

[Bladebri]

Why bother having talented players if we always ship them out, no ambition

 

[Bladebri]

Hope we don’t get a brooks is a wanker thread later.

It's a lot more realistic than a 40% sell-on clause!

I would be shocked if £20 million was true. However, it might be a price Liverpool is prepared to pay to avoid a bidding war and make sure they sign him.

After watching Liverpool last night and this season, they'd be far better off spending £20,000,000+ on a goalkeeper and back four.

It seems pretty high to me too but Bertie quoted 40% sell on clause.

I wish when these itk's pass on info the detail is made clear.....

I do apologise. I'm not going to go back and ask him to clarify however.... Even 40% of profit will be amazing when he goes to real Madrid for 100m in 3 years

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

I suppose, if you say it often enough....

David Brooks does sound like Virgil Van Dyke... (esp. in a Scouse accent)

It was your source that should have made it clearer, not you.

Totally pointless to sell. Most of the money won't be reinvested and when teams hear we have had a cash windfall they will all bump up the prices when we come calling.

I can see Wilder leaving over this. It won't be his choice if Brookes goes.

Try to spell our players name correctly,and maybe someone will take you serious Pig

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

 

[Esablade]

Done deal. 20m quid, 40% sell on, to Liverpool, Coming back on loan for rest of season. This is what I just heard from a reliable source who has knowledge of the deal....

Lets see if the money gets reinvested.

I don’t think many could argue with that deal if true..

Hopefully that would up our spending significantly next summer and we’d come out stronger overall.

UTB

and

GLTTL.

Spelling a players name wrong makes someone a pig?

That and reading your anti United posts,makes me in no doubt you are Pork,wishful thinking on your part that our manager will walk,when your inept manager seems untouchable

Two posts where you haven't slagged the club. I think it's you that's pissed.

Aren't you upset that fellow Blades think you are an Owl ?
I'd be absolutely mortified personally.

Acceptable sources.

Most of the nonsense posted on here wouldn't get a look in on there.
Good to see that The S*n is an instant delete and prospective ban of the poster.

''Brooks. To Liverpool... You having a laugh?"

#JohnnyShoeShinePoliceSquad

 

[grafikhaus]

Sheffield United have been approached by a Premier League club willing to pay an eight figure sum for Wales international David Brooks, The Star understands.

Although the team in question were informed the 20-year-old is not for sale, the size of their offer underlines his growing status after making an impressive start to the Championship season.

Brooks, a graduate of United’s Steelphalt Academy youth system, is expected to make his 22nd appearance for Chris Wilder’s side at Aston Villa this weekend after missing the visit to Preston North End due to illness.

But, of course, he isn't.
Brooks was associated with the Manchester City academy from the age of seven, before he switched to the Sheffield United academy in 2014 and signed professional forms with the club in March 2015.

Ergo, he spent ten years at Man. City's Academy. Source.

10m won't buy his right leg never mind the magicians left peg .he can do magic

#sufc boss CW boss says if David Brooks is sold it will be a board decision. He is adamant Brooks should stay. Hmm.

Is understanding the same as knowledge or more akin to gossip on the grapevine ?

Tony Currie has just said on RS that Brooksy is worth 20 million, if it's been on the BBC it must be true.

In today's papers that 'Leicester won't sell Slimani for less than £20m'

McCabe and Wilder know that full well. Picture where it would leave the club.

Now or maybe the summer is the time for McCabe and the Prince to back the manager seriously.

If not a 10 year contract for the manager and his assistant then massive wages.

Nooo! So we spend the Brooks money on Wilder & Knill's wages for the next ten years? The last time we did that (Porterfield) he lost his 'fire' and the same would happen with CW.

I understand what you mean and I'm not saying conspiracy its just that at this time of year we want Brooks focused on winning games and not being distracted by this stuff.

Which is where CW shows his abilities. Coutinho will be leaving Liverpool - sooner rather than later - but Klopp is still keeping him motivated.

I would take £15m with a sell on clause.

When Brooks recently signed a new 4 year contact, CW said there was 'no sell-on clause'. Don't understand it myself, but that's what he said.

Final thoughts? If he does go, he'll go and there's nothing us fans can do. The first star player we sold while I was a fan was Mick Jones. Since then it's been a never-ending procession. But the players we've sold recently have been discovered/developed by United - the two Kyles, Maguire, Calvert-Lewin etc. and only became the fiished article once they'd left. It's football.

 

[Sean Thornton]

He said no release clause

Re my bit: Don't thinl in a month of Sundays tjat CW will ever 'lose his fire '. Porterfield yes.

As regards Brooks 'sell on clause' it may be tbe one that the player shares the fee.
