Rhian Brewster: bargain

[Tom Bott]

Cannons giving it a good go.. half the price mind.

£10 million in the Championship is £20 million in the PL.

 

[AWetFlannel]

My post wasn't an attack on Wilder, but I think most would agree they his "bigger" signings have not worked out so well.

Most managers can point at good and not so good signings.

Berge, Brewster, Ramsdale, Mcburnie the four most expensive; two successful, one middling, one not?

 

[bakeblade]

Think a few on here wish he stayed when he started scoring a few for Derby.

Not me!!

 

[KMC-1889]

Brewster was outscored by Ahmedhodzic in his time here.

And he only scored one more league goal than Jack fucking Robinson.

This was physically painful to read. Much like Brewsters medical.

I’d argue none of them reached their potential and could argue all were failures based on their fees (for us).

Berge - never really consistently delivered despite being a very talented player.

Brewster - nice lad but a complete waste of money we couldn’t have. One goal against pigs doesn’t begin to repay the massive disappointment.

Ramsdale - one of the biggest contributors to our poor form and eventual relegation. Then went on strike as he thought he was too good for the championship.

McBurnie - one good season playing the level below we signed him for in a team stuffed with attacking talent. Still couldn’t keep for more than 4 games in a row. Brilliant signing on a free but he cost us £20m + wages.

Mousset - £10m for 3 good months and zero sell on.

Then you’re into Freeman/C. Robinson territory.

Did he need to consistently deliver to be a success? He was a good player, better than what we had. We paid an average fee for a PL midfielder and he was a consistent starter and was sold for a decent fee. It's very hard to consistently deliver in a team which was terrible for spells. One of our best players in achieving promotion.

Brewster - nice lad but a complete waste of money we couldn’t have. One goal against pigs doesn’t begin to repay the massive disappointment.

Unarguably one of our worst signings ever. Without hindsight of his unbelievably unlucky injuries, it could've been decent.

Ramsdale - one of the biggest contributors to our poor form and eventual relegation. Then went on strike as he thought he was too good for the championship.

Sold for a profit, and did he win our POTS? Unarguably a good signing.

McBurnie - one good season playing the level below we signed him for in a team stuffed with attacking talent. Still couldn’t keep for more than 4 games in a row. Brilliant signing on a free but he cost us £20m + wages.

He was good in our first season in the PL. Mixed bag with him, wouldn't call it a clear success or failure. Injured too often.

Mousset - £10m for 3 good months and zero sell on.

£10m isn't enough for a PL striker. That we got what we did out of him was value for money imo.

Then you’re into Freeman/C. Robinson territory.

Neither worked out, but neither were big money signings.

 

[KiwiBlabe]

I'd argue Ramsdale was not a good signing. His 1st 6 months were very poor. Eventually got better, when there was no, or little pressure and then went on strike. I despise him and Lundstram for that season.

 

[Rodley]

If you pay shit wages, as we have everytime we reach the PL, the chance of players being successful are so slim it’s almost non-existent.

Berge is a fucking over rated by our fan base it's unreal
He's playing for an average prem team and has never scored a goal for them
Get out of his ass he's fucking average

If he's an average PL player, he was worth what we paid and a good signing. Fulham have proven that. I'm rating him where he's at, mid table prem.

Just tells you all you need to know
If they can't bust a gut for 20/30 k per week then we are the mugs for going to watch the twats

Appreciate the reply , when he was at the lane people thought he was good enough to be at Barcelona......
Rolls Royce etc ...
I just don't see it

Comparatively poor wages just buy you poor players and bigger gambles.

 

[United1889]

I don’t think we can really appreciate how tough the psychology of injury will have been as he’s an athlete not someone taking extra time off work having a nice time. He’s been graceful and professional always. Brewster scoring against Wednesday is probably my favourite moment of recent times as a fan and incredibly funny too.

A Blades fan saying that someone’s not very good because they’re playing for an average prem team seems a bit hypocritical to me.

We haven’t even got 5 average Championship players anymore, I’d love us to have a team of average PL players and be as boring as Fulham.

I'd respectfully disagree re: Mousset. That purple patch was the main driving force that season and the reason we comfortably stayed up. £10m for another year at c£120m is well worth the investment...

All signed to do a job in the Premier League, on that basis I’d say none of them were successful.

Ramsdale was our player of the season in the PL, then got signed by a PL club for a big profit and played for England FFS

Spunk the money then.

That went well at S6.

Ramsdale only got picked for England on his form after he’d left us, he wasn’t picked based on his form at United, I’d also argue that there are so few English keepers in the top flight nowadays that of you’re an English keeper playing in the Premier League at present you’ve a decent chance of making the odd England squad.

I think people often forget just how poor he was when he first signed for us.

I blame him for relegation that season

 

[AWetFlannel]

Yeah, our player of the season is to blame, not the rest of the team that were absolutely terrible not for the first half of the season, but the whole season.

He got signed be Arsenal based on his form at United, then started for them that season. Can't believe this is even up for debate, I think he's a nob for what he did to us, but if we're trying to form a narrative about Wilder being irresponsible with big money signings, Ramsdale completely undermines it.

I remember how poor he was in the first few months, I think people forget how terrible everyone else was as well.

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Fair play to the lad.

His career hasn't gone the way he, or we, would have liked.
He definitely is a talented footballer but he didn't get the consistent run of games he needed to pull it all together.

With re: value for money, yes - he'll go down as one of our worst signings but he seemed a really good lad as evidenced in the video above.

Sad to see him on crurches, only ever wanted good things for him.

He’s fkin sh*te
