I’m not sure I agree with this. He’s always been one of the better finishers at the club. He’s fairly unique in that he strikes the ball early. It reminds me of Jermain Defoe. This will mean he might hit some chances too straight when placement might have been the answer - like yesterday - but overall there are benefits to it too. I definitely wouldn’t put him in the category you claim.

Better finishes?? How many goals he scored? A good finisher scores goals Rhian just doesn't no matter how cleanly he strikes the ball he doesn't find the back of net and hasn't and they are facts not opinions.

I’m going to copy below some of the comments from Liverpool fans covered by Roy’s View From from back when we signed him. You don’t just lose this ability. You can fire plenty of criticisms at Brewster. At various times with us he’s been injured, off the pace, sloppy in possession and not in the right attacking places. We can argue the toss over whether those things will go out the window with a run of fitness and games but I have to disagree strongly that his finishing is poor, or specifically that he can’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo, which is the point I was responding to initially.

**

“I think Brewster is the best young player at the club. His finishing is out of this world (you’ve only seen a fraction of this at Swansea).“

“I think he is a good player, a natural goal scorer.”

“I’ve been watching the reserves for years. Too late to catch Owen and Fowler so with the forwards/strikers I have ever seen Brewster is the best finisher I ever saw in the reserves (by miles)”

“I’ve said before that Brewster is one of the best finishers I have seen (at youth level)”

Copy and paste all you like stats mean more than people's opinions and his stats with us are shocking and totally debunk your thoughts that he's the best finisher at the club.
 
As someone who has always tried to support the lad on here
I think it's highly unlikely we will see him ever recapture the form or physicality that prompted us to sign him
However as a human being it's obvious that the lad is down on his luck and I feel it's incumbent of us to try and help lift the lad to a place he can rebuild his life from and if he helps us win some football games along the way then winner winner chicken. Dinner

Everything you said with the vegetarian equivalent. Bramall Lane will rock if he scores!

Everybody knows his stats, that's obvious. If that's all there was to it, he wouldn't be near the team. There clearly is lots more to it, especially for that position.

He was also the Liverpool FC blind and partially sighted members player of the year for 3 seasons in a row
 
From a Sheffield United first team perspective, whether Rhian has a good season or not is probably only going to be of peripheral importance to us. If he doesn’t, we have others who will, or we’ll buy / loan in Jan. Even if he does, he’s out of contract next summer and walks for free. We’re not getting any money back on him.

But from a personal, football fan perspective, I’d absolutely love it if he smashed it this year. There are some proper wankers on this forum making it personal and blaming him for having some shocking injuries. Yes, it is obvious In hindsight that buying someone for 22m who is then only able to play a handful of games over four years was a terrible investment. Well done all you Adam Smiths out there. But from what I can tell and from everything we hear inside the club, he’s handled it exactly as you would want a proper blade would. He’s knuckled down, tried to put a smile on his face and he’s obviously trying his nuts off every time he does get on the pitch.

Wilder has his faults, but he doesn’t suffer wankers at the club who don’t give it everything. Chris would have fucked him off ages ago if he wasn’t giving it all. Brewster is a United player for at least another 11 months. I cannot understand anyone taking the piss, repeatedly pointing out the obvious (that he wasn’t a good buy) or not wishing him success.
 
I get the feeling that he just needs a goal, however it comes, to relieve some of the huge pressure he's probably feeling, I'd imagine a lot of which he's putting on himself. Confidence and momentum count for a lot in sport.

Seems a great kid, hope everyone can really get behind him.

Nobody's going to sign him from us with his track record on fitness.
We certainly can't and shouldn't rely on him to contribute anything, but it's unhelpful to be critical. He's a talented lad who might be able to help us. Not much else to it.

Another great cameo from Brewster helping us get over the line.
His spirit and energy are infectious when he comes on and he has so much quality with a ball at his feet.
There's obvious shortcomings to his game, but if he can stay fit this season we might have a player on our hands.

Replace another at the start of that with "A" and I'd agree. First genuinely good performance, fair play to him. Hopefully more like that.
 
I think last time he looked sharp, was when he came of the bench against Swansea two years ago....
 
good to see him getting some more love. Kids got talent and a great cameo today. I'd start him over O'Hare ATM.
 
As Rhian Brewster's contract expires there is talk of extending his contract. Lets see if our record most expensive ever signing is worth persevering with by crunching the numbers (from transfermarkt).

In his FIVE seasons with club Rhian Brewster has made 119 appearances and played 5188 minutes in all competitions.
He has scored a grand total of NINE goals and contributed FOUR assists in FIVE Seasons. An average of 1.8 goals and 0.8 assists per season.

A lot of those contributions came this season which points to an improvement in form, however 4 goals and 3 assists over a season is nothing special.
Most of these contributions came from the ACM position in a 4-2-3-1. He's not a right winger in a million years and should be nowhere near a 4-4-2.

Still chuffed he got the winner at Hillsborough though, but it's just 1 goal at the end of the day. Too little too late as they say.

How many games did he play as a striker this season? And even in previous years ?

He was One of our better plays the last 1/3 of the season, many would struggle to disagree with that

Any argument that mentions his previous cost is a Moot point, we have no transfer fee to pay on him, and any decision made on keeping Brewster should be based on what he can offer next season for us and in comparison to what it would cost to get someone of a similar ilk

If Brewster signs on a reasonable contract for two years, I see no problem,m and it would be daft to let him go especially when this is the fittest he has been in the entire 5 years and the bet he has looked by some distance



BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT HEEEE CoSTTT 25 MILLOIONNNNNNNNN GO ON SAY IT ..........

Nothing to do with the cost he ain't good enough, if we don't renew it's going to be interesting to see who comes in for him
 
It would be interesting to see what level he is at, being hit and miss with us but could he manage League 1 consistently or is he even a League 2 player. The only way I would extend his contract is if that was to block someone else in signing him and selling him for a small profit, even a pint and a pack of pork scratchings would do nicely.
 
Taking all the past injuries and the transfer fee out of it. He’s been average at best this season and isn’t a genuine match winner.

As a cheap squad player he’d be fine, if he’s staying as a genuine starting forward option either as an AM, RM or CF then we’ll not be pushing for promotion next season.

This is the thing, his form this season is fine for a mid table championship team not autos contenders. Even O'hare, who I prefer to Brewster, is not quite up to Autos standard.

Ultimately I believe Wilder will overplay Brewster if he remains, so its better that he just isnt an option
 
Keep him. Worth his place in a squad that was a whisker of getting promoted and will be happy with 30 mins here, 60 there. He’s already at United too so there is no fee.
 
I'd keep him if we can get him on middle-ground squad player wages, which I'd say is what he is.

Is the club soon to be at risk of losing some or a sizeable proportion of the fans gained over the last 25 years?
